Insurance Bad Faith Statute Of Limitations in Utah

Utah Code § 78B-2-307 governs the statute of limitations for insurance bad faith claims in Utah, establishing a four-year period to initiate such an action. This statutory provision applies to both first-party and third-party bad faith claims, setting the temporal boundary within which a lawsuit must be filed after the cause of action accrues. The four-year figure is a fixed statutory limit, not subject to judicial extension absent specific codified exceptions. The official source at le.utah.gov provides the exact statutory language, including any factors or conditions that may affect accrual or tolling. The worked example below demonstrates how the four-year period applies to a typical bad faith scenario. To estimate the remaining time for a specific situation, the DocketMath calculator can incorporate the relevant dates and this statutory rule.
