CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

While interstates often represent the quickest way to get from one place to another, they can also present drivers with uniquely dangerous driving conditions.

Many of the drivers on the interstate are travelling long distances, which can lead to driving while sleepy or fatigued. Combine this with a large number of cars travelling at high speeds over multiple lanes, and it could be a car accident waiting to happen.

When accidents do happen on the interstate, they often result in significant property damage and injuries—even death. If you have been injured in one of these accidents, contact a Salt Lake City interstate accident lawyer to explore your options for financial compensation.

Causes of Interstate Accidents

Just like accidents on other roads and highways, distracted driving is a major contributor to interstate accidents. Attempting to text on a cell phone or eat breakfast on the go while driving often ends poorly. On an interstate, this can be catastrophic and can lead to multiple-vehicle accidents all but guaranteed to involve extensive damages and significant injuries.

Other common causes of interstate accidents include the following:

Sleepiness or fatigued driving
Road rage
Improper lane changes
Speeding and reckless driving
Drunk driving

Most of these causes involve some form of driver error. Proving this negligence will be essential to winning your case for financial compensation.

The Cost of Interstate Accidents

Any accident has a chance of resulting in injuries to those involved. The high speeds and multiple cars involved in many interstate accidents make injuries even more likely to occur.

Medical expenses for treatment and therapy should all be factored into your settlement.

In addition to receiving compensation for your medical bills, you could also be entitled to compensation for any other expenses or damages related to the accident:

Lost wages due to time off work
Repair bills for vehicle damage
Home or vehicle modifications made to accommodate an injury
Expenses for hiring help while you recover
And more!

Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations in Utah is four years for personal injury cases.

It is important to file a lawsuit as soon as possible. While four years may seem like a long time, insurance companies will stall and draw out negotiations for as long as possible.

Even if you would prefer to settle out of court, it’s best to file a lawsuit and prepare for the possibility of going to court. Otherwise, you risk missing your window of opportunity for financial compensation.

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.
