If your physical or mental well-being was harmed, personal injury law allows you to seek compensation from the person or entity that caused the damage. Compensation may be awarded for lost wages, pain and suffering, disability or disfigurement, grief, anxiety, and many other possibilities.

Having an Ogden personal injury lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates on your side can take the mystery and misery out of sorting through the complicated legal process. When you’ve been injured, the added stress of a lawsuit can add to your woes, so allowing us to handle this burden for you can give you the freedom to focus on your recovery.

 

Personal Injury Accident Examples

Examples of personal injury cases run the gamut of possible scenarios. If a situation possesses a risk of one individual being harmed as the result of another’s actions, a personal injury lawsuit could be the result:

  • Car, truck, train, motorcycle, and plane accidents
  • Bike accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Slip-and-fall situations
  • Workplace injuries

 

Personal Injuries Aren’t Always Obvious

Sometimes the damage caused by an accident isn’t physical. At other times, the harm wasn’t directly caused by another person, but someone else’s negligence was still indirectly to blame for what happened. Here are just a few examples of these types of cases:

  • Defective products or pharmaceutical drugs
  • Mental and emotional trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Character assassination
  • Cyberstalking and actual stalking
  • Dog and animal bites

Whether your injury was readily apparent or not, an Ogden injury lawyer from our office can help you collect the evidence and develop a case that demonstrates not only who caused your accident, but also how that entity was responsible. Your settlement should factor in everything you’ve endured, and we’ll make certain that your claim is valued accordingly.

 

Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions

After you have been wronged, mulling over the details and figuring out how to move forward can take over your life. These are some of the most common questions victims have, and we can help you find answers to all of them:

  • What is my claim worth?
  • Will the other person go to jail?
  • Does my problem qualify as a personal injury complaint?
  • This accident aggravated a pre-existing injury. Do I still have a case?
  • I was a passenger in a car that was responsible for a crash. Can I still be compensated?
  • What exactly is “pain and suffering”?
  • Do I have to pay to retain a lawyer? What if I don’t win?
  • I want this all to be over. How long will this process take?

 

Settlement vs. Trial

Some people don’t contact a lawyer because the prospect of a court appearance is intimidating to them. Luckily, in personal injury cases a settlement can often be reached without a case ever going to trial. After you contact us, a personal injury lawyer in Ogden can discuss with you whether an out-of-court settlement may be possible or if you would be better off filing a lawsuit.

Although most personal injury cases are settled out of court, should we determine yours would be best represented before a jury or judge, we will build the case for you and arrange for expert testimony if it applies to your situation.
