Salt Lake City Sideswipe Lawyer

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

A sideswipe collision can lead to serious injuries that require immediate and ongoing medical care. You should not have to pay for these medical expenses if your injuries were caused by the negligence of someone else.

A Salt Lake City sideswipe lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can build a strong case for why you deserve compensation for your medical bills and other accident-related expenses. We can also represent you both during negotiations and in court.

Causes of Sideswipe Accidents

Around 242,000 sideswipe collisions happen every year. Most happen due to a driver not paying attention. A few of the more frequent sideswipe accident causes are the following:

Merging into traffic without paying attention
Changing lanes without signaling
Failure to check blind spot before changing lanes
Distracted driving
Speeding

Understanding Your Legal Rights

You have the right to seek financial compensation for the injuries you sustained during your accident. The best way to do so is to file a lawsuit that names all of the negligent parties. In many cases, that will be a single driver, although you can also sue a business or government agency if they played a role in your accident.

In Utah, it is important that you file a lawsuit within three years of your accident so that you do not run into either the three-year statute of limitations for property damage or the four-year statute for personal injury.

Proving Negligence

Before you can receive financial compensation, we will need to prove that someone else was negligent and therefore responsible for your accident. This can be done by gathering evidence to prove what caused your sideswipe. Any documentation, pictures, or witness contact information you have can be helpful in doing so.

When a crash impact happens on the side of a vehicle, it can be challenging to prove that you were not at fault for the crash. The evidence we gather can help us with this process.

If further information is required, we may conduct depositions so we can ask the other party questions under oath in order to better prepare for your trial.

Getting the Most Compensation for Your Injuries

Once we have proven the other driver’s negligence, we will go to work maximizing the value of your claim. If you negotiate with the insurance company directly, it is likely that you will receive a settlement offer worth far less than what you actually deserve.

Your car accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates will ensure that all of your damages and expenses are correctly factored into your financial award:

Lost wages and income due to time off work
Medical care, both current and future
Rehabilitation expenses
Transportation cost
Money to repair or replace your vehicle
And more

We can review any settlement offers you receive and let you know if they are fair. Whether we need to continue negotiating out of court or file a lawsuit and set a court date, we can represent you every step of the way.

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.
