Personal Injury Cases We Can Handle for You
To have a viable personal injury claim, it must be shown that another person or party failed to meet the basic “duty of care” owed to you, and that failure caused you to suffer an injury. For example, if you are hit by a drunk driver, it can be argued that the intoxicated driver had an obligation keep others on the road safe by not driving after drinking alcohol, which is known to cause unsafe behavior behind the wheel. You don’t have to worry about proving the defendant’s negligence and liability, though, not when you hire our South Jordan personal injury attorneys to handle your case on your behalf. Let us put our extensive experience to good use for you.
We handle all types of personal injury claims, but we most often work on cases involving:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Nursing home abuse
- Dog bites
- Workers’ compensation
- Wrongful death
Compensation in Personal Injury Claims
By filing a personal injury claim, you can seek damages that would help make up for your physical, financial, and emotional losses. In Utah, you typically have just four years from the date of your injury to start a claim and demand damages. This statute of limitations can vary depending on the nature of your case, though. For example, there is only a two-year statute of limitations for most wrongful death claims. If you want to pursue compensation for your losses after an accident, you should talk to our attorneys to learn what damages could apply to your case and how much time you have to begin your claim.
In a civil lawsuit, you may be able to seek recovery for the following damages:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Rehabilitative therapy
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- In-home care and home remodeling for disabilities
- Past and future lost wages, bonuses, and benefits
Will Your Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?
A successful personal injury claim is usually resolved in one of two ways: settlement negotiations or litigation. At Pearson Butler, our legal team is always prepared for either. Not only are we known for being able to carefully negotiate settlements with insurance adjusters and opposing counsel, but we also have a reputation for our courtroom presence. We prepare each case as if it will go to trial, just in case.
Your case might be more likely to go to trial if:
- You require a significant amount of compensation to recover, which may make the defendant less likely to cooperate.
- There are disputes about how to split liability or fault for what happened.
- The insurance company representing the defendant thinks the overall value of your losses should be lower.
- You have only been offered unreasonably low settlement offers, and the defendant has no interest in negotiating again.
No law firm can guarantee whether a personal injury case will go to court or not, much less promise what the outcome of a case will be. What we can say, though, is that we will always be ready to fight for the positive outcome your case deserves, whether we need to attempt to negotiate a settlement or convince a judge or jury of your argument in a trial.
Contingency Fees Make Legal Counsel Easy to Afford
Are you struggling to make ends meet due to the financial pressures created by your accident and injuries? Many people who need to start a personal injury claim are in such a situation. That’s why we proudly offer contingency fees for our personal injury clients.
Under a contingency agreement, you don’t have to pay any attorney fees unless we end your case in your favor, such as through the recovery of a settlement or award. If we do win your case, the contingency fee rate will be a percentage of your winnings, so it is never more than you can afford. Also, we often handle any upfront costs associated with investigating and filing a claim.
With this payment system, you can hire our personal injury lawyers at virtually no financial risk.
