Salt Lake City Work Accident Lawyer

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

If you have been injured in a work accident and are unsure how you’ll move forward, get in touch with a Salt Lake City work injury lawyer at our firm today.

It’s no surprise that accidents happen. It’s just that we are never prepared for them to happen to us. Luckily, you have the peace of mind that your employer’s workers comp insurance will protect you in case you happen to need time off while you recover from your injuries.

Sometimes, however, it isn’t that simple. Workers comp doesn’t always cover all of your losses, claims can be denied, and you may need to file a personal injury claim to make yourself whole. If you have questions about your case and aren’t sure how workers compensation coverage or personal injury law can work for you, speak with a capable Salt Lake City work accident lawyer at Craig Swapp & Associates.

Collecting Salt Lake City Workers Compensation Benefits

When you are injured at work, your employer is required by Utah law to compensate you while you are unable to work through workers compensation benefits. These benefits will be paid regardless of who is at fault for the accident and will cover any medical expenses you may suffer as a result of your injuries.

In addition, you’ll be able to collect a portion of your lost income while you are recovering so you have the money you need to continue to support yourself.

Currently, the maximum percentage of weekly benefits cannot exceed 85 percent of the state average income. Many claimants will receive around 66 percent of their prior weekly income.

In addition, Utah workers compensation should cover the medical expenses tied to your Salt Lake City work accident.

Eligibility to File a Personal Injury Claim

Filing a personal injury claim for your Salt Lake City work accident is only possible under certain circumstances. An injury claim might be possible if your employer illegally failed to maintain workers comp insurance coverage; if your employer purposefully put you in harm’s way; or if your work injuries were the result of the actions of a third party other than your employer.

The main reason to file a personal injury claim is to help ensure that you receive maximum compensation for your injuries, including non-economic damages like loss of consortium and mental anguish, as well as the percentage of income you aren’t able to collect through workers comp.

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.
