        "description": "Workers' comp is usually exclusive remedy against coworkers and employer in Utah/Idaho, barring gross negligence or intentional acts.[2] Third-party suits possible if non-employer at fault. Key factors: (1) Co-employee immunity under comp laws; (2) Exception for willful misconduct; (3) Prove intent or extreme recklessness; (4) Vicarious liability may apply to employer. Pursue comp first, then explore exceptions with lawyer. Most cases stay within workers' comp."
