Protect Your Best Interests

It is common for insurance adjusters, or other individuals representing the at-fault party, to investigate you and avoid taking full responsibility for the accident. A car accident lawyer can work directly with these individuals to protect your case and negotiate a fair settlement.

Obtain Fair Compensation 

By settling with an insurance company without an attorney's help, you run the risk of receiving a lower amount than you are entitled to. Before signing anything, speak to an attorney who is personally invested in helping you recover the most compensation possible.

How We Have Helped Our Clients

"My husband was killed suddenly in a car accident...When the insurance company was trying to get out of paying, Lynn did extra work reconstructing the accident and the variables. We did win the case and were able to get some college funds for the girls and some financial security. Lynn has helped our family tremendously. Lynn really did care about us and has become a dear friend."

Car Accident Time Limits How Soon Do I Have to File Suit?

Every state has a statute of limitations (time limit) for filing a lawsuit. In the state of Utah, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases such as car accidents is four years after the date of your injury

Although this seems like plenty of time to file a lawsuit, keep in mind that delaying action could make it more difficult to build a compelling case on your behalf. The best way to ensure you take appropriate action in a timely fashion is to contact our Salt Lake City law firm.

Determining Fault  Who Is Liable?

One of the most important elements in your car accident claim is determining who is at-fault and establishing strong evidence to support your case. It is important to understand the ways in which liability is investigated and supported.

No-Doubt Liability

Determining liability in certain types of accidents, including rear-end collisions, unprotected left-hand turns, and DUIs, is fairly straightforward. No-doubt liability cases usually result in quicker settlements because the other driver is at fault in the vast majority of cases. Still, it is important to document witness contact information, take photographs, and file a police report, even if liability seems obvious; it is more difficult to obtain a good settlement or award without this evidence.

Calculating Negligence

Our car accident lawyer is knowledgeable about state regulations regarding car accidents and negligence. The state of Utah employs comparative negligence, which determines your percentage of fault compared to the other driver. Utah is also a "modified comparative negligence" state, meaning you can still recover damages in a lawsuit, but your compensation will be reduced according to your percentage of liability. A car accident lawyer will seek the maximum amount of damages that align with your percentage of fault.

Claim Adjusters

It is the responsibility of the insurance company's claims adjuster to investigate liability when car crashes occur. The adjuster will review all available evidence, such as police reports and eye-witness testimony, to determine responsibility. It is important to be careful what you say to a claims adjuster or the other driver. Even saying a simple "I'm sorry" in the heat of the moment or out of politeness can be interpreted as responsibility. Your lawyer will handle all communication with claims adjusters to protect your right to compensation.

After a car accident, you have options...

Settlement vs. Trial

In order to determine your best course of action, schedule a consultation with Attorney Lynn Harris at our Salt Lake City, Provo, or other Utah offices.

Settlement:

Although filing a car accident claim with an insurance company is typically a faster process, there is no guarantee that they will offer just compensation. This is especially true if you don't have a car accident lawyer that has experience dealing with the insurance company on your behalf. Some instances of "no-doubt liability" will make it easier to reach an agreeable settlement. However, it is best to speak with a lawyer about what you may be entitled to before agreeing to any sum.

Trial:

A trial will take longer, but it may be the best way to collect what you are actually owed. Mr. Harris works with economists, medical experts, life care planners, and other experts to calculate the full extent of your injuries and seek damages accordingly. Further, if you decide to pursue legal action, you can always settle at any time during the car accident case if reasonable compensation can be reached through negotiation. Attorney Lynn Harris will work hard for you every step of the way to obtain the best possible outcome.

When Settling Is Not an Option Lynn Harris Fights For You

“On February 29, 1997, I was involved in a car accident. The medical bills were mounting and State Farm approached us with a figure of $90,000.00. This was a slap in the face for us considering our medical bills had far exceeded this amount. The hope of settling out of court was becoming less and less of a possibility. This case ended up going to court with an eight-person jury.

The end of my story is a pleasant one. Lynn won my case, and it happens to have been the largest amount awarded to a person in Box Elder County. Lynn is a fighter and he will get you every penny you deserve.”
