How Do You Know If You Have a Personal Injury Case?

You may have a personal injury case if you were injured in an accident that was caused by the careless acts of another party. For instance, you may be able to show that your injuries were the result of a driver who decided to text while driving, or a store that allowed a spill to remain on the floor for an extended period of time. A successful personal injury claim also requires proof that you suffered losses for which you can be reimbursed, such as medical expenses or lost income.

If you have questions about your legal rights after an accident, please reach out to the Orem personal injury attorneys at Swenson & Shelley today. We are here to help.

How Much Is Your Personal Injury Claim Worth?

If you have been injured in an accident in Orem, you likely have a lot of bills piling up. You may be able to recover financial compensation for losses that you have sustained or will incur in the future due to your injuries, such as:

Medical expenses, including emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, prescriptions, physical/occupational therapy, or medical/mobility devices and equipment
Long-term care expenses to help with permanent disabilities that affect daily living
Loss of wages/income from missed work
Loss of future earnings and employment benefits due to permanent disabilities that prevent you from returning to work

How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Utah?

Under Utah law, the statute of limitations to file a personal injury lawsuit is four years from the date of the accident that caused your injuries. Filing a lawsuit after the statute of limitations runs out risks having your case permanently dismissed.

Even though four years may seem like plenty of time, you should begin working with a trusted attorney as soon as possible. It takes a lot of legwork to build a strong case for compensation. The sooner you get started, the better.

How Our Orem Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help with Your Case

Insurance companies will fight hard to avoid paying you the fair and full compensation you deserve. Our Orem personal injury law firm can help level the playing field by:

Investigating the accident or events that caused your injuries and obtaining evidence needed to build your case
Identifying the parties at fault for your injuries and losses, as well as identifying applicable insurance policies or other sources for financial compensation
Collaborating with accident reconstruction experts and other expert witnesses for persuasive testimony in support of your personal injury claim
Gathering documentation to support your claims for injuries and compensation
Filing insurance claims and demands for compensation on your behalf and aggressively pursuing a fair and full personal injury settlement
Taking your personal injury claim to trial when litigation gives you the best chance at securing maximum financial recovery

How Can You Protect Your Rights After an Accident in Orem?

To preserve your right to compensation for your injuries, take the following steps after an accident:

If you can, take cellphone photos or videos of the accident scene to document important details, such as whatever caused the accident or your injuries. This includes weather and lighting conditions, and any visible injuries you sustained.
See a doctor or other healthcare provider as soon as possible to get examined for injuries you suffered in the accident. Follow the treatment instructions that your providers give you.
Keep copies of bills or invoices for expenses incurred due to your injuries. Also have your pay stubs or income statements if you missed time from work or are permanently disabled from working.
Avoid social media posts about the accident, your injuries, or photos or videos of yourself while still undergoing treatment for these injuries. Social media posts might be used to seemingly contradict your claims about your injuries, disabilities, or the accident.
