Almost any kind of accident has the potential to inflict a serious or catastrophic injury that qualifies for a personal injury claim. We have outlined some of the most common types of accidents our clients have been involved in below:
Possibly the most frequently seen type of accident, motor vehicle collisions also result in some of the most serious injuries.
Premises liability accidents occur when you are on someone else’s property and they have failed to ensure that all hazards are clear so that no one is injured.
As with all personal injury claims, we will need to establish negligence in order to move forward with a medical malpractice suit.
You might have a product liability claim if you purchased a product and it was defective, malfunctioned, or caused you harm in some way.
Semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles can cause some incredible damage to other drivers on the road.
Motorcycle crashes cause some of the most serious injuries of all motor vehicle collisions, often resulting in permanent scarring and disability.
The loss of a loved one can easily be the most painful time in a person’s life, especially when it happens suddenly and without warning.

Salt Lake City, UT
I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.
Caldwell, ID
I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.
West Jordan, UT
My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
Spokane, WA
Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.
My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.
There are many potential parties that could be held responsible for the damages you suffered in your accident.
When people purchase an insurance policy and make regular payments to pay the premium, most believe that their insurance company will be on their side after a car accident or other injury-causing event.
To have a chance of recovering your injury damages and losses, you will need to file your claim within the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in your state.
In order for us to ensure that we obtain full compensation for the losses you suffered, your personal injury lawyer will need to examine every way in which your injuries have impacted or will impact your life.
There are many potential parties that could be held responsible for the damages you suffered in your accident. Nearly anyone who contributed to the cause of your accident should be required to pay for every expense and loss that you’ve endured. What many personal injury victims fail to consider is what happens when they are partially responsible for causing the accident—or even what will happen if they’re accused of being responsible.
In Idaho, Utah, and Washington, the law allows injury victims to recover damages from the at-fault party even if they are partially liable for the accident they were involved in.
In both Idaho and Washington, the law known as comparative negligence reduces compensation by the victim’s percentage of the blame. In Utah, the law states that if you are more than 49 percent liable for causing the accident, you will not be able to recover your damages from the other involved party. Any percentage less than the 49 percent threshold will qualify for compensation.
This makes it incredibly important to work with a personal injury lawyer. You can count on the insurance company and the at-fault party’s lawyers to try and use these negligence laws to their advantage, and that’s something Craig Swapp & Associates simply won’t allow.
When people purchase an insurance policy and make regular payments to pay the premium, most believe that their insurance company will be on their side after a car accident or other injury-causing event. Unfortunately, far too often this isn’t the case. As a for-profit company, the insurer loses money on each claim they pay out, which is why they will look for any reason they can to deny claims.
Insurance adjusters will even go so far as to use deceitful tactics, such as manipulating your statement to make it appear as though you admitted or accepted blame for causing the accident. They do this so that they can reduce the amount of money they would otherwise be required to settle for.
Your personal injury attorney from Craig Swapp & Associates will be aware of these insurance strategies for reducing settlements and won’t allow the insurer to place unwarranted fault on you for causing the accident. We will make sure that you don’t get taken advantage of and settle for less than you are entitled to.
To have a chance of recovering your injury damages and losses, you will need to file your claim within the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in your state. We have offices in Idaho, where the time limit is two years; Utah, where the limit is four years; and Washington, where the statute of limitations is three years.
The clock starts running from the date of the accident you were involved in, or from the date you are diagnosed with an injury or illness directly related to the accident. The time period to file a claim then runs until the two- to four-year period is reached, depending on which state you’re in.
In order for us to ensure that we obtain full compensation for the losses you suffered, your personal injury lawyer will need to examine every way in which your injuries have impacted or will impact your life. We do this by considering both your economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are the losses that have a direct influence on your finances and might include your lost wages, the loss of potential future earnings such as bonuses, promotions, salary increases, contributions to your retirement savings account, and your medical expenses.
Once your personal injury attorney knows what your economic damages entail, we move on to calculating the value of your non-economic damages. These cover the impact your injuries have on your lifestyle and emotional state. Frequently seen non-economic damages in personal injury claims include the following:
When you’ve suffered a serious injury and you’re ready to take matters into your own hands by holding the at-fault party accountable for their negligent actions, reach out to an experienced personal injury lawyer with Craig Swapp & Associates. Your attorney will stop at nothing to secure the compensation you need to recover from your injuries and get your life back to normal.

Building a powerful personal injury claim can be a challenge, and by working with an injury attorney, you’ll have a qualified legal professional by your side who can collect witness statements, video footage, and other types of supporting evidence.
In addition, your lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, prove the liability of the at-fault party, and examine the details of your claim so that you have a better understanding of what your claim is actually worth.
Some of the most common case types that our firm routinely represents are listed below:
The type of personal injury you suffer will largely depend on the seriousness of the accident you were involved in. We have seen everything from broken bones and whiplash to traumatic brain injuries and amputations.
You should always be prepared to go to court, although our personal injury attorneys are usually able to avoid going to trial by successfully negotiating with the insurance company to obtain a settlement that is both fair and reasonable.
When you choose an injury attorney at Craig Swapp & Associates, you won’t have to worry about how much it costs unless we win your case. We don’t charge our clients a dime unless or until we win.
