Distracted driving
Phone use, navigation, or another distraction may matter. A suspicion needs supporting evidence; do not assume a driver was texting merely because the crash occurred.

What can a car accident lawyer do for you?
An injury claim can become difficult when an insurer disputes fault, questions treatment, or asks for a quick release. We identify the actual disagreement and gather records that address it. That may mean obtaining a recording, reviewing damage patterns, or explaining a work restriction through medical evidence.
Our team communicates with insurers, organizes the claim, and assesses offers against the documented losses and medical outlook. We explain the terms so you can decide whether to settle. Legal help should make the process clearer, rather than add pressure to accept an outcome you do not understand.
Advice informed by insurance defense experience
Jed Strong’s background in insurance defense informs our approach to contested claims. We examine the evidence behind a denial or reduced offer and assess what further work may be useful. If negotiation does not resolve the dispute, a lawsuit may be an appropriate next step.
Some straightforward property-only claims can be handled directly. A review may be especially useful for injuries, disputed fault, unclear coverage, or continuing costs. A consultation helps you assess those issues without committing to a lawsuit.
Common causes of car crashes in Midvale and Salt Lake County
Turning traffic, business entrances, and busy intersections can create several points of conflict. On roads such as State Street or Fort Union Boulevard, the useful inquiry is the exact movement that caused your collision. A road’s name or a general crash category does not prove fault.
These examples show the types of driver conduct we investigate. Your case depends on the actual movements, conditions, and evidence from the scene.
Unsafe turns and failure to yield
Signal timing, lane position, sight lines, and the direction of travel can help explain a collision at an intersection or driveway.
Following too closely or excessive speed
Stopping distance, road conditions, damage, and witness accounts may help assess whether a driver had adequate time and space to respond.
Impaired or fatigued driving
Police findings and other evidence may be relevant. A civil injury claim still needs its own review of responsibility and harm.
Unsafe lane changes
We examine vehicle positions, mirrors, visibility, signals, and available video. Conflicting accounts can make independent records especially useful.
Weather or road conditions
Wet pavement or poor visibility provides context. Drivers’ responses and any separate road-maintenance issue require assessment under the applicable rules.
The first steps after a car accident can protect your claim
Call 911 for injuries or immediate danger and follow responders’ instructions. Seek appropriate medical care. Do not enter traffic or remain in a dangerous position to take pictures, and ask someone you trust for help if you are receiving treatment.
Keep the driver and insurance details, agency information, report number, and witness contacts. When safe, save photographs of the vehicles, road layout, traffic controls, and surrounding scene. Accurate original records are more useful than a reconstruction made later.
- Keep the report information. A report can help, but it may not answer every civil claim question.
- Save messages and recordings. Preserve originals and relevant insurer correspondence.
- Follow up on symptoms. Tell your provider about changes and follow medical advice.
- Keep expense and work records. Save bills, pay information, and restrictions.
Be truthful when reporting the crash. If you do not remember a detail, say so. Ask for help reviewing a broad authorization, recorded-statement request, or release before signing. A quick conversation can identify evidence that may disappear.
Talk through your options with our team.
A recording may answer questions that memories cannot
Dashcam footage, nearby business recordings, and witness video may clarify a turn, signal, or lane change. These sources can be overwritten, so early preservation matters. The presence of a camera does not guarantee that it captured the collision or that the recording can be obtained.
We compare available video with photographs, damage patterns, witness accounts, and the report. A qualified reconstruction specialist may help when the sequence remains disputed. The investigation focuses on evidence of the actual movement, rather than assumptions based on the impact alone.
What if the other driver blames you?
Utah shared-fault rules can affect whether compensation is available and its amount. An insurer’s first fault percentage is not a final court finding. We assess the allegation against the evidence and applicable rules.
Provide a complete account of your own actions, including facts that may be unfavorable. If a driver left the scene, keep plate details, vehicle descriptions, witness information, and any recording. Missing one piece of evidence does not decide the case by itself.
Which insurance may help with the crash costs?
The at-fault driver’s liability policy may be one source of compensation. Other coverage may require review, including applicable personal injury protection, medical-payment benefits, or uninsured and underinsured motorist provisions. The law, policy terms, and collision facts determine what is available.
Health insurance or other benefits may also pay some medical expenses. Certain payments can create repayment obligations against a recovery. Bring policy documents, benefit statements, collection letters, and claim numbers so those questions can be assessed.
When a commercial or rideshare vehicle is involved
A truck, delivery vehicle, or rideshare trip may raise additional company and policy questions. Our Midvale truck accident page explains commercial records. Our Lyft accident guidance addresses app status and possible rideshare coverage.
Coverage does not establish fault or guarantee that every bill will be paid as it arrives. A Midvale car accident attorney can explain which issues need investigation and how to respond to competing insurer positions.
Your claim should explain how the crash changed your life
A supported injury claim may include treatment costs, missed income, vehicle damage, pain, and lasting limits on daily activities. The claim’s value depends on the evidence and legal rules. Two people with a similar diagnosis can face very different losses.
We review care records, bills, wage information, property estimates, and restrictions. Future treatment or earning losses need a reasonable basis. Qualified medical or financial input may be useful when an injury causes lasting disability.
Keep practical examples as well as receipts
Note tasks you cannot manage, help needed at home, time away from work, and changes in ordinary activities. Include improvements as recovery progresses. Specific, accurate examples are more useful than exaggerated descriptions of the impact.
Our Midvale brain injury guidance discusses records for lasting cognitive or other limitations. If a loved one died after a collision, our wrongful death team can review the family’s rights and the separate claim requirements.
Before accepting an offer, check what it leaves unanswered
Consider the medical outlook, supported future needs, disputed fault, available insurance, and repayment obligations. A final release can end the right to seek more money for the same injury. An early offer covering today’s bills may not address continuing care or a work restriction.
We prepare a demand supported by the records and explain the insurer’s response. Some claims settle through negotiation or mediation. Others require a lawsuit, further document requests, sworn testimony, or trial. You decide whether to accept an offer after the terms and tradeoffs are explained.
Review deadlines before waiting on negotiations
The time to sue and insurance notice requirements depend on the claim and circumstances. Government involvement, a child’s claim, or a fatal injury may change the analysis. A police report, ongoing treatment, or settlement talks may not preserve the right to sue.
The Utah courts’ deadline guide explains why filing periods need attention. Give us the collision date and any deadlines in letters so the applicable requirements can be reviewed.

Common questions about a Midvale car accident claim
When is a car accident lawyer useful?
Legal help may be useful for injuries, disputed fault, unclear coverage, or an offer that leaves continuing costs unresolved. Some straightforward property-only claims can be handled directly. A free review helps you assess the specific concerns.
Can I have a claim if I was partly at fault?
Possibly. Shared fault can reduce compensation or prevent recovery under Utah law. We review the actual evidence and applicable rules rather than treat an insurer’s first percentage as final.
What if the other driver has no insurance?
Relevant household and vehicle policies may need review for uninsured motorist or other coverage. Benefits are not automatic and policy conditions matter. Preserve the driver details, report information, and available policy documents.
Should I wait until treatment ends to call?
No. Evidence and deadlines can be reviewed while you continue care. The medical outlook may need more time before the full claim is valued. Starting the investigation does not require an early settlement.
Will my case go to trial?
Many claims settle, but some require litigation to resolve disputed facts or losses. The route depends on the evidence and parties’ positions. We explain the choices and risks as the case develops.
How much does a car accident lawyer cost?
The consultation is free. Strong Law handles accepted injury cases on a contingency fee basis, with attorney fees dependent on a recovery. The written agreement explains the fee and how case expenses are handled.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
"Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again."

“Unbelievable work!”
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
