Salt Lake City Car Accident Attorney
Utah Car Crash Lawyer
Before you make any statement, sign any papers, or try to negotiate with an insurance company after a car accident, first talk with an experienced attorney. Otherwise, you could give up your right to full financial recovery.
At the law office of Rasmussen & Miner in Salt Lake City, our lawyers help people injured in car accidents every day. We will protect your interests in any negotiations with the insurance company and ensure you receive the full compensation you are due for losses such as:
- Bone fractures

- Head injuries, including traumatic brain injury
- Amputation of a foot, leg, arm or hand
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Wrongful death
Car accidents are the leading cause of serious injury in Utah and in the United States 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 sign defects or dangerous roadways.
Your Advocate if You Have Been Injured
The job of insurance companies is to make a profit. When you’ve been injured in a car accident, the insurance company will employ a variety of tactics to minimize your damages or even avoid paying you anything. Unless you have a good understanding of how insurance companies operate, you are at a great disadvantage in any negotiation.
In addition to offering you only a portion of the money you may actually be due for medical bills, pain and suffering and other losses, the insurance company will pressure you to settle early — perhaps before the full extent of your disability is even known.
The insurance adjustor may also ask you to give a taped statement. Anything you say in that statement can then be used against you. That’s why it’s important to talk to a lawyer before you talk to an insurance adjustor.
