What Should You Know After Being Seriously Injured?

You may have many questions after being seriously injured. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions people have:

Should I Talk to an Insurance Company Without a Lawyer’s Help?

It is in your best interests to provide only your contact information to an insurance company until you consult a lawyer. Insurance companies frequently try to get you to give a statement before you retain an attorney. Even seemingly innocuous disclosures in these statements can be used against you to diminish the value of your case.

Do I Have to Go to Trial to Recover Damages?

Most personal injury cases settle prior to trial. Personal injury attorney Ken Peterson’s goal at Northern Utah Law is to maximize compensation through settlement. However, to facilitate settlement, Ken makes sure the insurance company or defendant knows we are always ready to go to trial if necessary.

What is “Pain and Suffering”?

When you are injured, you may receive compensation for noneconomic losses, such as the pain and suffering you experienced, the mental anguish you went through, and the manner in which the injury affected and continues to affect your life. These damages are highly speculative but can be substantial in cases involving serious injuries.

What Determines the Amount I Might Recover?

Every case involves three issues: Who, if anyone, is liable for your injury? What is the extent of those injuries? How can the responsible party compensate you for your injuries? The evidence available regarding these three factors ultimately determines the settlement value of your case.
