Wrongful Death Cases We Handle

At Nelson Jones Utah Personal Injury Lawyer, we handle various wrongful death cases, each with unique circumstances and challenges. Our extensive experience allows us to effectively represent families who have lost loved ones due to:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of wrongful death. Our firm has a strong track record of representing families affected by fatal car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. We work diligently to investigate each case, determine liability, and hold negligent drivers or parties accountable.

Workplace Accidents

Fatal accidents can occur in any workplace, but they are particularly prevalent in construction, manufacturing, and mining industries. Our attorneys are skilled in handling workplace safety regulations and workers' compensation claims to ensure families receive the justice they deserve.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are incredibly vulnerable in traffic environments, and when accidents occur, they can often be fatal. Our firm is committed to advocating for pedestrians' rights and ensuring that negligent drivers are held accountable for their actions.

Product Liability Cases

When defective products cause death, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held responsible. We have the resources and expertise to take on large corporations and ensure they are held accountable for the safety of their products.

Medical and Nursing Home Negligence

Medical professionals and nursing home staff must provide care that meets established standards. When negligence in these settings leads to death, we help families seek compensation for their loss and work to ensure that such negligence does not happen to others.

Criminal Acts

Deaths resulting from criminal acts require a skilled legal team that can work through both criminal and civil justice systems. We ensure that justice is served and that families receive compensation for their immense losses.
