Utah lets the decedent's heirs, or the personal representative for them, recover damages as under all the circumstances may be just, and lets the estate pursue the decedent's own claim. There is no general cap, only a malpractice limit. You have two years.

Utah's wrongful death act, UCA 78B-3-106, says damages may be given as under all the circumstances of the case may be just. UCA 78B-3-105 defines the heirs.
The estate's own claim survives under UCA 78B-3-107, and the claim must be filed within two years of the death.
A local personal injury attorney can review your claim — many offer a free consultation.
