How Our Law Firm Approaches Each Car Accident Case

Determining Liability

First, we will gather evidence to prove liability for the accident. Our attorneys will use the police report from the accident, witness interviews, and other information to establish who is responsible.

Assessing Damage

To assess the damages caused by the accident, our firm will recommend a doctor if you don't already have one. We will ensure that you get the necessary treatment. We will also gather records on your behalf. These may include medical reports, ambulance reports, and other records that could help your case.

Helping You Collect

Once we have assessed your injuries, we will send an offer/settlement brochure to the other driver's insurance company with references to all medical appointments, treatments, and visit reports. If you have suffered an injury from which you may never fully recover, we may include an impairment rating. We will include a summary of the total financial weight at the end of the proposal. If we cannot reach a fair settlement through mediation, we will take the case to court. 

We'll Connect You with the Best Medical Providers

One of the factors that sets us apart from other law firms in Ogden is our connection with the area's top medical providers. 

Over the past 60 years, we have established strong connections with medical care providers who specialize specifically in car accident cases. These medical providers know how to identify injuries specific to car accidents that other medical providers might miss.

By connecting our clients with these medical providers, we help them both determine the true value of their case and receive the right diagnoses, the right care, and ultimately achieve the best possible physical recovery. 

Our car accident lawyers also have contacts who can generate impairment ratings. Impairment ratings help illustrate how much a client's quality of life is permanently affected, which is key information that can benefit your case.

My sister recommended Kelly Miles and I'm glad she did, he was so professional, made us feel at ease and he treated us like family. He gave us a tabed binder with everything we needed. Kelley went up and above to insure we understood everything. I have recommended him to several of my friends and they won't be disappointed.

Settling With an Insurance Company vs. Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit

Filing an insurance claim vs. filing a lawsuit

Car accident cases at our Ogden, Utah, law firm begin with an insurance claim. Our attorneys will file a claim with the other driver's insurance company on your behalf, asking them to provide the necessary compensation for your losses. Our car accident lawyers will then work to negotiate a fair settlement. 

If the other driver's insurance company is being unreasonable or refusing to cover your losses, we can file a lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court. Our Ogden, Utah, firm works with medical providers, forensic specialists, and other parties to build the strongest case possible and help clients in Layton and surrounding areas recover a fair settlement or jury award.

Comparative Negligence in Utah And How It Affects Personal Injury Compensation

Utah is a "comparative negligence" state. This means that you can recover compensation even if you are partially at fault for the accident. For example, if the court determines that you are 20% responsible for the accident, you would be rewarded 80% of the total damages, while the other driver would receive 20%.

Whether your case is settled with an insurance company or goes to court, you need an Ogden car accident lawyer on your side to protect your best interests.

Wondering If You Can Afford a Car Accident Lawyer?

/

Most car accident cases fall under the area of personal injury. Our Ogden, Utah, firm represents personal injury cases on a contingency basis. This means that you do not have to pay for a car accident lawyer until (and unless) we recover compensation.

Do I Really Need to Hire an Attorney?

Many car accident victims are hesitant to hire a car accident attorney because they don't want to spend any of their compensation on attorney's fees once the case settles. However, many clients do not understand the extent to which insurance companies will attempt to low-ball victims. Even if you are seriously hurt, it can be incredibly difficult to collect adequate compensation from an insurance company without legal expertise.

Our Ogden firm is the third party between insurance companies and victims. While insurance companies want to protect their own best interests, a car accident lawyer is dedicated to protecting yours. They bring unparalleled value to the case by:

  • Illustrating the true extent of the injury in order to work towards a more favorable settlement
  • Working with trusted medical professionals and specialists to illustrate the long-term effects of your injury

Without an attorney in your corner, you risk collecting far less than you deserve. But with a legal advocate, you can expect a far better outcome even after the fees have been deducted.

Steps to Help Build Your Case After an Auto Accident

camera

Back-Up Evidence

Once you've taken pictures and videos of the car accident site, vehicles involved in the car crash, and injuries sustained, make sure to back it up. If you don't use a cloud service, simply email the files to yourself.

Be Mindful & Don't Apologize

Auto accidents can be traumatic, but it's important to avoid venting to friends or on social media. And even if you feel like apologizing to the other driver, don't – this can be interpreted as an admission of guilt.

Let a Car Accident Lawyer Handle Communication

Before speaking to an insurance company, you should contact a car accident lawyer. A lawyer can determine who is responsible for your auto accident, speak to the insurance adjusters on your behalf, and recover the compensation you deserve.

"I've worked with this Law Firm and Zane Froerer for several years. One of the best attributes that they have is they are big enough to handle most legal matters but small enough to still give the appropriate attention to their Clients. Zane and his staff of Corrine and Lisa do an excellent job of helping you with your legal matters but not charging you an arm and a leg. Overall just a great firm to work with!" - Bailey H.
