Collecting full compensation for a car wreck isn’t easy, but with the right help, it can be done. Find out how to successfully resolve your claim by working with a South Jordan car accident lawyer.

Getting fairly compensated for the injuries and losses suffered in a motor vehicle accident is rarely simple. Even though Utah is a no-fault state for car insurance, it’s entirely possible that your own insurer will try to lowball your claim. It’s also possible that your policy’s limits won’t be enough to cover all of your losses—especially if you’ve suffered a catastrophic injury such as a traumatic brain injury or paralyzing spinal damage.

Whether you need help getting the most from your no-fault benefits or with moving beyond the no-fault system and pursuing a car accident claim, the right legal aid can bring your case to a successful conclusion. A South Jordan car accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can ensure that your claim is treated with respect and that you get every penny of compensation you’re due.

Investigating the Crash

If your auto wreck claim qualifies for a personal injury lawsuit, it will be necessary to determine who was at fault for causing the collision and how. Utah observes comparative negligence, so each at-fault party will only be responsible for his or her share of the damages. This means full compensation will require naming everyone responsible in your claim.

Your South Jordan car accident lawyer will conduct a full investigation into what happened and build a case based on all the available evidence and witness testimony. These are just a few of the potential causes that will need to be considered during the discovery process:

  • Distracted driving
  • Intoxication
  • Drowsy driving
  • Speeding and reckless driving
  • Dangerous road conditions
  • Defective auto parts and tires

All of Your Injuries and Losses Compensated

Whether you’re dealing with your own no-fault insurer or the other driver’s, you can’t expect them to treat you fairly. These are large businesses that value their profits above all else, and you can expect them to put their interests ahead of yours, unfortunately. Insurance companies may even refuse to compensate victims of car, motorcycle, and truck accidents, like you. 

It’s critical to ensure that your compensation accounts for your future needs and not just your current and past expenses and losses caused by the crash. Likewise, insurers love to “forget” to take into account how your injuries have impacted your quality of life. A true settlement will include everything you’ve been through because of the crash.

Financial expenses might include medical expenses, lost income, travel costs, vehicle repair, and any other out-of-pocket costs and should be addressed in the economic damages you pursue. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are compensation for how your quality of life has diminished because of what you’ve been through. These cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, lost companionship, and lost enjoyment of life.

Getting the at-fault people to compensate you for these hardships is not easy, but we’ve helped many victims of automobile and trucking crashes through these difficult times. We’ll take the steps you need to take to settle your claim in a timely manner.
