What Is Personal Injury Law?

Personal injury law in Utah is designed to provide a legal avenue for individuals to recover damages when injured due to someone else's negligence or intentional actions. This area of law covers a broad spectrum of scenarios where injuries may occur, including accidents, falls, and other harm. Personal injury laws are grounded in making the injured party 'whole' again to the legally possible extent.

Personal injury claims often hinge on proving negligence, which requires establishing that the defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff, breached that duty, and caused the injuries.

What Types of Compensation Can We Recover for You?

  • Medical expenses: We strive to recover all medical costs associated with your injury, from emergency care to long-term rehabilitation. Our team works closely with medical professionals to ensure that your current and future medical needs are fully documented and accounted for in your claim.
  • Lost wages: If your injuries have forced you to miss work or affect your ability to earn a living in the future, we will seek compensation for lost wages and loss of earning capacity. This includes detailed calculations to ensure every aspect of your loss is covered.
  • Pain and suffering: Compensation for pain and suffering is a key component of personal injury claims. Our lawyers know how to quantify these non-economic damages and argue effectively for a sum that truly reflects the pain and trauma you have endured.
  • Property damage: If your property was damaged due to the accident, we ensure you receive compensation for repair or replacement costs. This is often a critical aspect of vehicular accident claims.
  • Punitive damages: In cases where the defendant's conduct was particularly egregious, we may seek punitive damages. These are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future.

How Large of a Settlement Can I Recover?

The size of the settlement you can recover depends on the specifics of your case, including the severity of your injuries and the circumstances of the accident. Our Utah personal injury lawyers diligently evaluate every detail of your case to maximize your settlement. We consider all aspects of your life that have been affected by the injury, ensuring that the compensation we pursue addresses immediate and long-term needs.

It is also important to consider that settlements vary widely based on the available insurance, the clarity of liability, and the legal prowess of your representation. At Nelson Jones Utah Personal Injury Lawyers, we leverage our extensive experience and legal understanding to ensure that the settlement reflects the full extent of your suffering and losses.

Obstacles We Overcome To Help You Recover a Fair Settlement

  • Disputed liability: We often face challenges where the other party or their insurance company disputes liability. We utilize evidence and expert testimony to establish fault clearly.
  • The severity of injuries: Insurance companies frequently attempt to downplay the severity of injuries to reduce payouts. Our team vigorously documents the full extent of your injuries to counter these tactics.
  • Complex legal issues: Personal injury cases can involve complex legal issues, especially when involving multiple parties or unusual circumstances. We excel at resolving these issues to keep your case on track.
  • Insurance coverage limitations: We frequently encounter cases where the at-fault party’s insurance coverage is insufficient to cover all damages. Our firm explores all avenues, including potential third-party claims, to maximize your compensation.
  • Pre-existing conditions: Insurers often use pre-existing conditions to diminish the value of your claim. We counter these arguments with evidence that shows the true impact of the accident on your health.
