What You Need to Know About Personal Injury Claims in Utah

Personal injury law allows injured individuals to seek compensation when another party’s negligence causes harm. While every case is unique, most personal injury claims involve proving that another person or entity failed to exercise reasonable care and that failure resulted in injury.

Personal injury claims commonly arise from:

 

Insurance companies often begin investigating immediately after an accident. Their goal is frequently to minimize payouts rather than fully compensate injury victims.

Steele Adams Hosman works to protect clients from unfair insurance tactics while building strong claims supported by evidence and expert analysis.

Why Personal Injury Cases Matter

A serious injury can create challenges that extend far beyond the initial accident.

Victims often face:

  • Emergency medical treatment
  • Ongoing rehabilitation
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Emotional trauma
  • Physical pain
  • Long-term disability

Without proper compensation, many families struggle to recover financially while managing the demands of treatment and recovery.

Personal injury claims exist to help restore stability and provide resources necessary for healing and rebuilding.

Common Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Car Accidents

Car accidents remain one of the leading causes of injury throughout Utah. Collisions on I-15, I-80, State Street, Foothill Drive, and other major roadways frequently result in significant injuries.

Truck Accidents

Commercial truck accidents often involve catastrophic injuries because of the size and weight differences between trucks and passenger vehicles.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face unique risks and often suffer severe injuries when negligent drivers fail to share the road safely.

Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists are vulnerable to serious harm when motorists fail to yield or drive distracted.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians have little protection during a collision and frequently suffer catastrophic injuries.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Property owners have a responsibility to maintain reasonably safe premises for visitors.

Premises Liability Claims

Unsafe conditions on commercial, residential, or public property can lead to serious injuries.

Dog Bite Injuries

Dog attacks often result in physical injuries, emotional trauma, and permanent scarring.

Medical Malpractice

Healthcare providers who fail to meet accepted standards of care may be liable for resulting injuries.

Catastrophic Injuries

Severe injuries often require lifelong medical treatment and substantial financial resources.

Wrongful Death

Families who lose loved ones because of negligence may be entitled to pursue compensation through wrongful death claims.

How Utah Law Affects Personal Injury Claims

Understanding Utah law is critical when pursuing compensation.

Comparative Negligence

Utah follows a modified comparative negligence rule.

You may still recover compensation if you are partially at fault for an accident, provided your share of responsibility does not exceed 50%.

Insurance companies frequently attempt to shift blame to reduce payouts. Steele Adams Hosman works to challenge these tactics and protect clients’ rights.

Statute of Limitations

Most Utah personal injury lawsuits must be filed within four years of the injury date.

Failing to file within the applicable deadline can prevent recovery.

Duty of Care

Many personal injury claims focus on whether a person or organization failed to exercise reasonable care under the circumstances.

Proving negligence often requires detailed investigation and evidence gathering.

What Compensation May Be Available?

The value of a personal injury claim depends on numerous factors, including injury severity and long-term impact.

Medical Expenses

Victims may recover compensation for:

  • Emergency care
  • Hospitalization
  • Surgery
  • Rehabilitation
  • Physical therapy
  • Future medical treatment

Lost Income

Compensation may include:

  • Missed wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Future lost earnings

Pain and Suffering

Serious injuries often cause lasting physical and emotional hardship.

Disability and Disfigurement

Permanent injuries may significantly impact daily life and future opportunities.

Property Damage

Some claims include compensation for damaged vehicles or personal property.

Wrongful Death Damages

Families may recover compensation following the loss of a loved one caused by negligence.

I cannot recommend Mikayla Shaw highly enough. After being involved in a car accident, I was overwhelmed by the insurance process and everything that came with it. Mikayla took care of everything on my behalf, making the entire experience as stress-free as possible. She was incredibly responsive throughout the case, always available to answer questions and provide updates. More importantly, she genuinely cared about my well-being and made me feel supported every step of the way. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, she was able to secure the full insurance settlement payout within one year of the accident. Her professionalism, dedication, and compassion exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for an attorney who will fight for you while treating you like a person rather than just another case, I highly recommend Mikayla Shaw.

No one wants to be in a situation where they need a personal injury attorney. My siblings and I found ourselves in such a situation last year (August 2025) when our mother was struck and killed in a pedestrian auto accident. We didn’t know what to do or how to navigate the world of insurance claims and/or a possible lawsuit. Luckily, I already had trusted friends at Steele Adams Hosman and knew who to call. They handled everything with such grace and compassion and kindness. The case just closed and we can’t be more grateful for their help. If you’re looking for a team that 1) knows what they’re doing, and 2) handles your case with professionalism and care, Steele Adams Hosman is a great option.
