It can take years to recover from the suffering an auto wreck causes. Fortunately, an American Fork car crash lawyer can ensure you get the care and compensation you need to recover.
While American Fork isn’t as busy as Salt Lake City, many residents use their cars to commute to work, get to the grocery store, and run errands. Cars are a regular part of many of our lives. Unfortunately, they can be dangerous.
Not all drivers will try to protect your safety. It’s unfortunate, but many people may not care to be safe on the road, leaving you dealing with severe injuries. When other motorists don’t take care to protect your safety, an American Fork car accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can make sure you get the justice you deserve.
Car accidents are unique because of how serious they tend to be. You might have been moving at high speeds when the crash happened—even forty miles per hour can be dangerous. Your chances of suffering a major injury in a car accident in American Fork are high.
The following are some of the more common serious injuries we’ve seen auto wreck victims suffer:
In Utah, you typically turn to your insurance company first after an auto accident. Because Utah is a “no-fault” auto insurance state, you’ll need to contact your insurer first for a settlement, rather than the responsible party or his or her insurance company.
But this doesn’t mean your insurance company will give you a fair settlement. In many cases, no-fault insurers may undervalue your case, avoiding paying the full amount you deserve for your recovery. You might not realize you didn’t receive the correct settlement until it’s too late. By then, you’ve already accepted the settlement offer.
In some cases, the insurance company may not be the best way to settle your case. In cases where the “serious injury threshold” has been crossed, you may need to take your claim to court to get full compensation for your American Fork car wreck.
The serious injury threshold is meant to provide further compensation to those suffering from serious injuries, which includes dismemberment, disfigurement, permanent disability, or death. When you’ve suffered such extreme injuries, you’ll need to get your full compensation through the person responsible—not your insurer.
Car, motorcycle, and trucking crashes can leave you struggling with the financial billings and emotional trauma you’ve suffered. Many car accident victims struggle to overcome the costs, hardships, and losses caused by their accident.
You need compensation to cover the financial burden from hospital bills for your medical expenses, car repairs, and other property damage. Insurance companies frequently try everything they can to avoid paying for your incurred costs.
You may have an even harder time getting non-economic damages for the intangible loss you suffered without a lawyer. These damages cover losses that don’t have a price tag associated with them, like the pain and suffering you experienced because of your injuries. Our lawyers have helped many accident victims like you, and we have the tools and experiences you need to recover.
When you’re hurt in a vehicular accident, you need the insurance companies to compensate you in a timely manner. But how much time do you have to file your claim? If you don’t take the right steps, you may be left dealing with your medical expenses and other costs alone.
Utah residents only have four years to file for compensation after an accident. If you don’t act within those time limits, your claim may be dismissed. Talk to your lawyer about getting the help you need to act in a timely manner.
When you’ve had a car crash, you’ll need to recover fair compensation so you can focus on your recovery—not your financial worries. But this isn’t easy to do alone. Instead of relying on the insurance company to give you the right settlement, you can get peace of mind by working with an attorney from Craig Swapp & Associates.
We’ll even begin with a free consultation, so you can speak with our lawyers about your claim with no obligation. We want you to know we’re right for you before you sign anything.
