South Salt Lake, UT - When drivers get behind the wheel of a car, personal safety and the safety of the public should be their priority. Sadly, this isn’t always the case, particularly if a driver has an emergency, is reckless, or fails to pay attention.
If a car accident occurs on the way to work, school, home, or other places, victims must first seek medical treatment and secondly, contact a car accident attorney UT residents trust like those at Salt Lake Injury Law. The firm’s attorneys understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll negligence can have on a victim. They are committed to helping them obtain the damages they deserve from insurance companies or at-fault parties.
The Utah Department of Transportation and the Utah Department of Safety released data reporting that there were 281 road fatalities in 2024, which was a slight increase from 279 in 2023. While there are many reasons a car accident may occur, speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, driver error, road defects, and poor weather conditions are the most common causes.
As a result, car accident victims experience minor and severe injuries, including head trauma/concussions, burns, broken bones, neck/spinal cord injuries, soft tissue injuries, internal bleeding, joint injuries, lacerations, and worst, wrongful death.
Utah follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning that if a victim is partly at fault, their compensation may be reduced proportionally. Additionally, insurance companies often try to minimize what they owe victims, which is why having an experienced car accident attorney can make a difference in the outcome of one’s case.
Salt Lake Injury Law knows all the tactics insurance companies use and is prepared to advocate vigorously on behalf of victims. The team begins by educating victims on Utah’s personal injury laws relating to their specific accident and situation, breaking down complex legal concepts into clear, understandable terms.
Next, the law firm manages all communication with insurance companies, freeing victims to focus on their health and recovery journey. The attorney also calculates the full value of a claim after considering the victim’s injuries, medical care, lost wages, time off work, property loss, emotional distress, and other tangible or intangible damages.
Once the Salt Lake car accident injury lawyer proves fault in the accident after conducting a comprehensive investigation, they work tirelessly to expedite a claim while offering additional support, avoiding expensive mistakes, and giving the victim peace of mind knowing that there’s someone with their best interests in mind.
Beyond representing car accident victims, Salt Lake Injury Law is committed to making a positive impact in the local community by contributing time and resources to people and organizations in need.
