Car Accidents

There are a lot of auto attorneys throughout Salt Lake City and Utah trying to grab the attention of people who have been involved in car accidents. But too often they promise the moon and fail to deliver — costing you valuable time and more of your much-needed funds in the process.

Why do they so often fall short? The main reason is that all too many Utah car accident attorneys are not trial lawyers. And of those who are trial lawyers, too many avoid appeals courts.

At Christensen Law, we are trial and appellate lawyers and we also have experience as personal injury attorneys. We fight cases as high as necessary and as often as necessary to obtain everything we can for all our clients, including our Utah car accident clients. We have a reputation in the legal community of being aggressive, hard-hitting lawyers.

So, if you have been in a car accident in Salt Lake or anywhere throughout Utah, our Utah auto accident attorneys will fight for you and obtain as much compensation as possible.

Among the possible damages that occur from car accidents are injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages, and loss of transportation. Many injuries have lifelong consequences.

We will help you maximize your compensation. With our vigorous representation, our auto accident lawyers can present the best liability case possible for your car accident, so that you do not lose out on a settlement or verdict through poor representation.

 

Do you have one of these qualifications to receive compensation for your car accident?

Most people deal with a lot of unneeded stress in their day to day lives that they don’t even realize they don’t have to live with. The fact of the matter is that even with traumatizing incidents, experiences where we feel an overload of stress is unavoidable, we still have a lot of options we can choose that will help us take control of our lives.

As personal injury attorneys, we know how to strengthen your case more than average auto attorneys, and we can finagle the compensation out of the insurance companies greedy little hands so you can finally have some peace of mind. You can qualify for legal assistance dealing with your injury if you have suffered from ANY of the following is caused by your accident:

  1. Medical bills
  2. Expensive Treatments
  3. Lost wages
  4. Diminished earning capacity
  5. Pain and suffering
  6. Emotional distress
  7. Disability
  8. Disfigurement

 

Insurance companies try to give the lowest possible settlement for every case. They are not your friends. They are not trying to help you. Insurance adjusters are trying to pay out the least amount possible.

While the Utah statute of limitations gives you up to 4 years to file a lawsuit to recover damages for a Utah car accident injury, it is best to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Preparing a case is a very time-sensitive matter.

Your car accident case begins the second after the accident. Everything is important for shaping and directing your case. Any and all information you gather at the scene will be important to your case.

In Utah, every auto insurance policy must include personal injury protection coverage or PIP. PIP coverage provides at least $3,000 for reasonable medical expenses, through your own insurance company, independent of fault.

It is important to exhaust PIP coverage in order to make claims against the other driver for such things as lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Therefore, getting the attention you need immediately is very important, even if you are not sure how hurt you are. Otherwise, your case could be limited or barred.

Utah also uses the comparative fault standard for determining recovery. This is largely a legal question that an experienced Utah car accident lawyer can help figure out. It is very important that you get an auto accident lawyer as soon as possible so that your case is not messed up and you can focus on healing.
