Mark Stewart was a great attorney. My case wasn't easy but he made it seem easy. His main concern was making sure I got all the help I needed medically. He check up on me all the time to see how I was feeling and any questions I had he had answers to and took the time to explain it so I could understand. I hope no one needs a accident attorney but if you do go with Mark
I was referred to The Advocates by a colleague and I don’t think 5 stars is a high enough rating for them. My initial consult was informative and straight to the point. They gave me realistic expectations from the beginning and they were with me every step of the way. They best part is they did everything to maximize my settlement without me having to ask! Very friendly staff!
I was in a motorcycle accident back in February and I called the Advocates the next day and they’ve been on my case ever since. They always kept me up to date on what was going on with my case and they were able to get me a good chunk of the settlement. They have been great to work with!
I recently was in a motorcycle accident, and after fighting with my insurance I reached out to Brad Johnson with The Advocates. I couldn't be happier and more thankful for the help I received from him, and his team. They made me feel like I was well taken care of, and got me the settlement I needed. I highly recommend going to Brad if you have any legal issues and need assistance. If anything like this happens in my future he will be the first person I reach out to.
It does not matter if you are in Salt Lake City, Lehi, Spanish Fork, Orem, or anywhere in between. The statute of limitations for all slip and fall accidents is four years.
This applies to motorcycle accidents, dog bites, and any other type of personal injury.
Where your accident occurs will determine what insurance covers your damage. Most businesses have general liability insurance covering damages from a slip-and-fall accident.
If you are at somebody’s house, their homeowner’s insurance should cover damages.
Before filing a personal injury claim, you usually have to prove the property owner was somehow negligent.
Premises liability law deals with the responsibility of property owners to ensure individuals are safe on their premises. If you are injured on someone else’s property, the duty owed by the property owner depends on your legal status.
There are three classifications of visitors:
Determining your visitor classification at the location of your fall will be one of the first legal issues you and your attorney work through.
You must also show that the property owner breached their duty to keep their premises safe by not fixing or marking potential tripping hazards. Proving negligence is the basis of any personal injury claim.
There must also be demonstrable evidence that the unsafe conditions of the property caused your injuries. This connection is crucial when determining liability.
Then, the damages from the accident must be compensated, including medical expenses, lost wages, and funeral expenses if a loved one passes away from a slip-and-fall.
There are a lot of factors in a slip-and-fall case. The Advocates have extensive experience in all practice areas related to personal injury, and are ready to take on that challenge with you.
