DUI-caused crashes. Criminal case is separate — we pursue the civil recovery. If your crash happened in Sandy or anywhere in Salt Lake County, Metler Law can take it from here.
What a drunk-driver crashes in Sandy usually looks like.
Sandy sits in Salt Lake County, with traffic patterns that funnel through a short list of high-incident corridors: I-15 between 9000 South and 11400 South and State Street (US-89), plus 3 more. We've worked crashes on each of them.
When a drunk-driver crashes happens in or near Alta View, Crescent, Granite, the early decisions matter. Where you treat, what you tell the other driver's insurer, and whether scene evidence (camera footage, witness statements, vehicle data) is preserved in time will shape the value of the claim more than any negotiation later.
Metler Law handles those early decisions for you. We coordinate with the Alta View Hospital and other treating providers, document the file the way the carrier's defense team will read it, and prepare every case as if it's going to a Salt Lake County jury at 3rd District Court — Salt Lake (Matheson).
You don't need to know which insurance policy applies. You don't need to know whether your case is worth filing. That's our job — and we tell you the answer for free, before you sign anything.

Common questions about drunk-driver crashes in Sandy.
I-15 at 9000 South / 10600 South / 11400 South
This three-exit cluster handles America First Field event traffic, ski-day overflow heading east toward Little and Big Cottonwood, and the densest stretch of Sandy commuter traffic. Multi-vehicle pile-ups during weekend ski mornings are the signature crash here.
My crash was on a Real Salt Lake match night near America First Field — does that change anything?+
It can. Event-traffic crashes often have more witnesses, security camera coverage from the stadium and surrounding businesses, and city traffic-control records that we can subpoena. We pull all of it when the case warrants.
I was rear-ended on I-15 in Sandy on a powder morning — the other driver blamed the snow. Does that defense work?+
Rarely. Drivers are required to operate at a speed reasonable for conditions. ‘The road was slick’ doesn't excuse the duty to maintain a safe following distance. We see this defense often and rebut it routinely.
Where will my Sandy case be filed?+
Salt Lake County's 3rd District Court at the Matheson Courthouse downtown.
What hospital should I expect my Sandy crash to involve?+
Alta View Hospital handles most non-trauma Sandy cases. Trauma diverts to Intermountain Medical Center in Murray. Lone Peak Hospital in Draper is also nearby for southern-Sandy crashes.
Does Sandy PD's report process differ from neighboring cities?+
Not materially. Standard Utah crash report request, typically released within a week. UHP handles the freeway portion if your crash was on I-15.
