A Car Accident Attorney Can Help Your Case 

Car accidents forever leave a psychological mark on victims. Even if you make a full physical recovery, trauma often lingers and requires something beyond physical medical treatment. Then, there are other issues like property damage, pestering insurance companies, and a slow legal process.  
It is a tragic story that motivates The Advocates law firm to provide legal representation for accident victims.   
We cannot undo the personal injuries our clients have received from at-fault parties, but we can use everything in our arsenal to ensure they get maximum compensation.    
Take a look at testimonials from our former clients. They are a proud example of how our success rate is determined by how many people we help, not how much money we bring in. Logan is our home.

Not every accident requires an attorney. However, if the accident resulted in injuries or significant property damage, it is a good idea to contact a lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the claims process, which can be lengthy and complex. 
Your attorney will gather evidence, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary. Studies have shown that accident victims who hire a personal i

The best way to know if you have a case is to speak with an attorney. The Advocates offer free consultations—you can speak with a qualified legal team to understand what your case is worth without paying a dime. Once you have decided to hire an Advocate, we will investigate your accident to firmly establish liability. 

Every personal injury case is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accident claims. The length of the claims process will depend on the severity of your injuries, the willingness of the other party to settle, the court’s caseload, and more. 
In general, personal injury cases can take anywhere from several months to a few years. It’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to get your case started. Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, after which you will lose your right of action. 

When you hire The Advocates, we will begin investigating your accident immediately while you finish medical treatment. Once all evidence and medical records have been compiled, your attorney will send a demand letter to the other party’s insurance company. At this point, negotiations will begin. 
In many cases, a settlement can be reached during negotiations. If the other party refuses to make a fair offer, you may choose to file a suit. In the litigation phase, your attorney will represent you in court in front of a judge, jury, and/or arbitrator.

Driving in Logan 

The Logan Canyon Scenic Drive 

Cache Valley is a gorgeous checkerboard of farms, forests, and fossil-filled rock formations. You will also find areas for trout fishing, cheese factories, and fully functional 19th-century farms. Highway 89 heads east out of the valley into Logan Canyon, twisting and turning alongside the Logan River. At the end of the canyon is Bear Lake, surrounded by pine trees with stunningly blue water.  
It is such a fun drive, blemished only by the narrow roads that increase the chances of a car crash. If somebody hits you, you can file a car accident case, regardless of whether you are a resident of Logan, elsewhere in Utah, or another state entirely. The same is true for dog bites, motorcycle accidents, and slip-and-falls. 

Common car accident injuries    

The main reason you will have a car accident claim is because you suffered serious injuries. Even if an injury appears harmless, you should still get medical attention after an accident.  
Here are the most common car crash injuries inflicted on accident victims:  

  • Bruising and lacerations   
  • Muscle strains   
  • Whiplash   
  • Broken teeth   
  • Dislocated joints   
  • Disfigurement  
  • Broken bones   
  • Internal damage   
  • Spinal cord injuries   
  • Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries   
  • Emotional distress 
  • Wrongful death of a family member 

Watch out for Main Street 

To the surprise of no one, many motor vehicle accidents happen on Main St. Check out this map that shows all the accidents in Logan. Accidents of various kinds occur on Logan’s busiest road, from pedestrian to truck accidents.  
Please drive with extra caution while on Main Street. We do not want you to become another traffic statistic.   
Here are some safety measures you can take when cruising Main Street:  

  • Approach intersections with caution; the worst accidents typically happen here  
  • Avoid aggressive driving like tailgating, sudden stopping, or speeding  
  • User proper signaling to show when you are going to change lanes  
  • Obey traffic laws  
  • Stay alert for other drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists 

Understanding Personal Injury Laws in Utah 

How fault is determined  

Utah uses a comparative negligence system. Multiple parties are assigned a percentage of responsibility for the accident.  
You cannot recover damages if you are 50% or more at fault for the accident.  
If your fault is below 50%, you can file a personal injury case, but your percentage of fault will reduce your final settlement. For example, if you are 25% at fault for the accident, then your compensation will be 75% of the total amount.   

Statute of limitations for car accidents   

If you are injured in a car accident, you generally have four years from the accident date to file a claim. That is a long time, but it is recommended that you move quickly with your claim.  
For property damage, you have three years to file a claim.   
If someone dies in a car accident, you have two years to file a wrongful death claim.   

The steps to take after a car accident in Utah   

The first few hours and days after an accident are critical for your recovery and your insurance claim’s success.     
Follow these steps to ensure you do what is necessary after an accident:   

  • Ensure immediate safety   
  • Call the police and get a police report  
  • Seek help from medical professionals 
  • Exchange information   
  • Gather evidence at the accident scene  
  • Notify your insurance company   
  • Consult an experienced Logan personal injury lawyer   
  • Document everything   

The damages you can sue for in a car accident claim 

The damages you can seek depend on the nature of your personal claim. No two cases are ever the same in law, which means even an experienced lawyer cannot predict the trajectory without first doing a case evaluation.    
The following are commonly sought damages in a personal injury case:    

  • Medical bills 
  • Pain and suffering  
  • Lost income and loss of future earnings   
  • Non-economic damages such as emotional trauma   
  • Funeral expenses for a loved one
