Spinal damage can have a long-term impact on your quality of life. If you have hurt your spine in a car accident , or if you have been injured in some other way by someone else’s negligence, you have the right to file a lawsuit in order to seek financial compensation.
Working with a Salt Lake City spine injury lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates is the best way to proceed with your case. We have significant experience helping spinal injury victims and can help you receive the compensation you are due.
Negligence Is Key to Your Case
Negligence is the legal concept of fault or blame. Your Salt Lake City spine injury lawyer will gather the evidence necessary to prove that someone else was negligent and therefore responsible for your accident and subsequent injuries.
It’s possible for you to be partially to blame for what happened as well, but as long as the other party was at least 51 percent responsible, you can still receive financial compensation.
Utah Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury
After you have been injured, you can file a lawsuit right away, even if you have not yet recovered from your spinal injury. With a back injury, it is possible to never fully recover, so don’t let this stop you from taking legal action.
We can include the cost of your future medical expenses in your lawsuit, so filing early does not mean you are limiting the amount of money you can receive. To the contrary, since there is a statute of limitations of four years, filing a lawsuit right away preserves your right to sue.
Maximize Your Compensation
You can receive compensation for more than just your medical bills. A back injury can impact multiple areas of your life, so your Salt Lake City spine injury lawyer will need to know about any additional expenses you have had or income you have lost due to your injury.
Living with Paralysis
If you have suffered paralysis due to your spine injury, the amount of stress you and your family are experiencing is probably incredibly high. We understand this and can take care of the legal challenges so that you can focus on recovering as much as possible and adjusting to a new way of life.
We can also ensure that you are compensated for how your paralysis has impacted your daily routine, ability to work, and any additional expenses you have incurred as a result. This will allow your family’s financial needs to be met.

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.
