Urgently Assisting Large Truck & Commercial Vehicle Collisions in Salt Lake County
Steele Adams Hosman is proud to serve Salt Lake City and communities throughout Utah with trusted legal representation for victims of serious truck accidents. Collisions involving commercial trucks often result in devastating injuries, extensive medical expenses, and life-changing consequences for victims and their families. When a fully loaded semi-truck weighing up to 80,000 pounds collides with a passenger vehicle, the outcome can be catastrophic.
Truck accidents frequently occur on major Utah highways such as I-15, I-80, I-215, and other heavily traveled routes throughout the Wasatch Front. Because commercial trucking companies, drivers, and insurers often move quickly to protect their interests after a crash, injured victims need experienced legal representation as soon as possible.
At Steele Adams Hosman, we understand the unique challenges truck accident cases present. Our attorneys investigate every aspect of a crash, identify all liable parties, and pursue the full compensation our clients need to rebuild their lives.

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.
