Car & Motorcycle Accidents

Bringing a Personal Injury Claim after a Car or Motorcycle Accident

Salt Lake City / Ogden Area Personal Injury Attorney

Car accidents are the leading cause of serious injury in Utah and in the U.S. as a whole. While some accidents truly are unavoidable, a percentage of serious accidents result from negligence on the part of a driver or from contributing factors such as obstructive signage or defective roadways.

Talking on a cell phone, fiddling with a CD or MP3 player, even eating and putting on make-up are all common distractions that draw a driver's attention away from the road, leading to tragic results.

If you suffered a catastrophic injury after being struck by a car, or a loved one died in a motorcycle crash, you deserve answers—and compensation.

Why You Need an Experienced Legal Advocate

The job of insurance companies is to make a profit. When you've been in a car accident or a motorcycle accident, the insurance company will employ a variety of tactics to avoid paying your claim or to minimize your damages. Unless you have a good understanding of how insurance companies operate, you are at a great disadvantage in any negotiation.

In addition to offering victims only a portion of the money they may actually be due for their pain and suffering and losses, the insurance company will pressure injured people to settle early, perhaps before the full extent of their disability is even known. The insurance adjustor may also ask you to give a taped statement. Things you say in that statement can then be used against you.

Before you make any statement, sign any papers, or try to negotiate with an insurance company, talk with an experienced car accident attorney. As lawyers who work with these cases everyday, we will protect your interests in any negotiations with the insurance company and ensure you receive the full compensation you are due for:
