Salt Lake City Delayed Injury Lawyer

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

Car wrecks can be traumatic experiences, especially if you suffer a physical injury as a result. Sometimes it can take a while for someone to realize they were injured in an accident, leaving them wondering what their options are and how to proceed.

As a Salt Lake City delayed injury lawyer, we would strongly encourage you to call us right away so we can discuss the details of your accident and what your options may be.

Your Injuries Could Take Time to Manifest

After an accident, it is common for people to think they are fine, only to then manifest injury symptoms days or even weeks afterward.

This is because in the immediate aftermath of a car accident, your body produces endorphins that block pain signals. This can lead you to believe you were not injured when you are actually in need of medical attention.

For this reason, you should never say “I’m fine” to the police officer on the scene, the other driver, an insurance adjuster, or anyone else. You simply can’t know for certain that an injury won’t present itself later.

Seek Medical Attention After an Accident

You cannot know you are fine until after you have been completely checked out by a medical professional. Even then, a certain amount of time will need to pass before you no longer need to worry that you actually have a delayed car accident injury.

Some injuries are more likely than others to be delayed injuries:

Whiplash – Whiplash most commonly presents as neck pain, but it can affect any neural pathway, including the extremities and the rest of the spine.
Concussion – A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and can occur when the brain strikes the inside of the skull. Symptoms may take quite some time before they begin to manifest.
Emotional Trauma – Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression that have resulted from a car accident are all medical conditions that may require long-term—and often expensive—therapy.
Additional Injuries – There are many other injuries that can take time to manifest, so always see a doctor immediately after a car accident.

Once you have detected your injury and have been diagnosed by a doctor, call a Salt Lake City delayed injury car accident lawyer from our office right away. It is critical that your lawsuit be filed immediately so that you avoid the statute of limitations.

Statute of Limitations

In Utah, the statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit is four years from the date of injury. There are some exceptions to this, such as in the case of injuries to minors.

Consult a Salt Lake City delayed injury car accident lawyer to determine what the deadline for your case is. It can take time to gather evidence and build a strong case, so the sooner you schedule your consultation, the sooner we can begin working for you.

Keep Track of Your Expenses

You have the right to seek compensation for all financial losses suffered as a result of your injury, even if you were initially unaware that you were injured.

Some of the expenses you can seek compensation for include the following:

Medical bills
Vehicle repair bills
Modifications made to your home or vehicle to accommodate your injury
Lost wages due to time off work

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

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.

"I would hire them in a second"

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.

"I was afraid of the fees"

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.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

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.

"I am very pleased with the results"

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.
