Why Do You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Though you might have found that not every claim needs the help of an experienced attorney, many do if there are damages in your case, such as property damage, extensive medical bills, lost wages from missing work, and more. From settlement to the possibility of litigation, you don’t want to have to handle your claim on your own but instead put it in the hands of an attorney who is able to handle the difficult parts for you so that you don’t miss out on any opportunities for compensation.

What Is the Personal Injury Statute of Limitations in Utah?

Sometimes people call us or schedule a consultation and tell us that the incident that caused their injury happened a number of years ago. Unfortunately, if too many years have passed since the injury happened, it may be difficult for us to help because the law sets limits on the time frame in which a person can bring a lawsuit. This limit is called the statute of limitations. Once the statute of limitations has ended, it is usually impossible to make a legal claim.

Can I seek damages even if I am partially at fault?

You can seek compensation as long as you are found less than 50 percent responsible for the accident. However, you should be aware that your award will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
