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 build your case, 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 injury lawyer can receive settlements up to 3.5 times larger than if they settled on their own.
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 is 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.
For nearly 30 years, The Advocates have helped thousands of personal injury victims receive fair compensation and care they deserve after their accidents, and we are prepared to do the same for you.

The safest place a pedestrian can be is away from cars. Motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians are awful. People walking are simply more vulnerable than motorists, leading to serious injuries for pedestrians.
If you live in or are visiting Logan, then check out these trails the city has to offer:
Pedestrian accident victims often require more medical care due to the severity of their injuries. Even when on a trail, collisions with bikers are still possible.
These are the most common injuries pedestrians face, from least to most serious injuries:
In 2023, there were 817 pedestrian fatalities in Utah. The United States is a vehicle-dominated country. Wherever you walk, you will inevitably be near cars and trucks. Pedestrians can cause accidents, but the issue is usually with vehicles.
Here are the most common causes of pedestrian accidents:
You generally have four years to file a personal injury claim for anything from motorcycle accidents to dog bites.
An essential aspect of any insurance claim is establishing negligence. People often assume the motorist is automatically responsible for the accident, but that is not always the case. Pedestrians can be assigned a percentage of fault. If that percentage exceeds 50%, then the pedestrian cannot sue.
Following all rules, signals, and signage is the best way to avoid being assigned a majority of the fault.
This data clearly shows that crosswalks are the most dangerous areas for pedestrians. Remember the old adage: Look left, then right, and then left again when crossing. Never assume that a car will stop because you have the right of way. So many drivers do not pay attention when behind the wheel.
