Question:
How do I choose the best attorney for my pedestrian accident claim in Salt Lake City?
Answer:
These days, you probably see more ads for lawyers than just about anything else. You see them on billboards, radio, buses, you see them when you go to the ball game. So, how do you know who to choose for a Utah pedestrian accident? Who’s going to look out for you? It’s a question I get asked all the time.
First, watch out for settlement mills. Settlement mills are the faceless injury law companies you see plastered all over the freeway. They tend to use fancy business names or lure you in with someone else’s name who isn’t even a lawyer anymore. Hiring a lawyer is a personal relationship. Don’t get sucked in by a fancy phone number or a beautiful billboard.
Next, take the time to speak with the lawyer you’re considering hiring. If you’ve been pawned off to an intake specialist, you’re probably trapped in a settlement mill. Ask them what part of their practice focuses on the area of the law relevant to your claim, how many cases they have handled, how many lawsuits have they have filed, and what results they have gotten for people.
Asking for this information doesn’t guarantee you’re going to get a result, but it gives you a better idea of the experience level the lawyer has, what their approach might be, how they’ll handle it, what kind of timeframe it’ll take, what they’ll present with your claim, and how they’re going to try and resolve it for you if your treatments continue.
Choosing an attorney is an important choice. Don’t leave it to slick advertising or fancy phone numbers. If you have a question about hiring your lawyer, give me a call. I’ll talk with you about what you should be looking for.

With regards to case value, these three rules can serve as guides. First, the value of a case usually follows the severity of your injuries. The worse a person is hurt, the bigger the case. Second, how much are the medical bills? This one is similar to the last one – usually, the higher the medical bills, the more valuable the case. Third, what kind of impact did the crash have on your life? The more the injuries from a crash affect your life, the more the case is worth, oftentimes. All these factors go into helping evaluate the value of a case. If you’ve been hurt in a bicycle crash, call us. We would love to talk with you about your case."
