How Our Utah Catastrophic Injury Attorneys Can Help
In the aftermath of a serious accident or incident, you are inundated with decisions to make. You must find the right place for your medical care, determine what procedures and therapies are needed, and ask yourself how you will care for the needs of the injured party at home after they are released from the hospital. There is often a need for adaptive medical equipment and home modifications, particularly after a spinal cord injury, as you adjust to life with limited mobility. So how can a catastrophic injury lawyer help? By ensuring that you don’t have to worry about your financial well-being while you are focused on physical healing.
CATASTROPHIC INJURY LAWYERS SEEK FINANCIAL HELP FOR HEALING
When you enlist the help of a catastrophic injury attorney early in this process, you can ensure that you have the financial compensation necessary to cover these expenses as you move forward. By holding the at-fault party accountable for their actions, you can receive payment for the medical care and pain and suffering of the accident victim. This allows you to focus all of your energy on the recovery process, without concern for your financial needs.
GET LEGAL GUIDANCE FROM AN EXPERIENCED CATASTROPHIC INJURY ATTORNEY
After an accident, insurance companies are quick to offer settlements. Many accident victims see the large amount of the settlement and assume it is fair, and they quickly take the money. What they do not know is that by taking the settlement, they give up the right to seek further compensation at a later time if their injuries require additional care. Also, they don’t realize that the insurance company is looking to deliver the smallest amount of compensation possible rather than focusing on what is truly needed for recovery. Working with a Utah catastrophic injury attorney from Strong Law helps you protect your rights. Our team will offer legal guidance as you recover from your accident, so you don’t make a mistake that can cost you severely later. Call 206-737-2997 as soon as possible after an accident to ensure your rights are protected.
COMMON QUESTIONS ASKED OF OUR UTAH CATASTROPHIC INJURY ATTORNEYS
If you or someone you love has been in a serious accident and suffered an injury as a result, you likely have some questions. The team at Strong Law is here to answer those questions. Here are some common questions and the answers from our experienced legal team.
What kinds of damages are allowed after a serious accident?
While a catastrophic injury lawyer is the best person to answer this question specific to your accident, some common types of damages include medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. If property was damaged in the accident, such as in the case of a car crash, property damage claims are also possible.
How long do I have to file a claim after my accident?
In Utah, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally four years from the date of the accident or injury. However, there are exceptions and variations depending on the specific circumstances of the case. It's important to consult with a qualified attorney to understand how the statute of limitations applies to your particular situation.
Does my accident qualify as a personal injury case?
Not all serious accidents qualify for compensation under Utah personal injury law. For an accident to qualify, the fault must lie in the negligence or actions of another party. If someone’s negligence was the cause of the accident, then you have the right to seek compensation with the help of a catastrophic injury attorney.
How much is my catastrophic injury case worth?
The value of a catastrophic injury case depends on the facts surrounding it, including whether or not the victim shares fault in the case, how serious the injuries are, and what long-term losses the accident victim has as a result. Talking to an attorney to review the details of the case is the best way to get a fair estimate for these values.
There are many types of injuries that can be classified as catastrophic injuries. Some of these include:
- Injuries that lead to permanent disability
- Injuries that cause loss of limb, hearing, or vision
- Serious spinal cord injuries (SCI) or traumatic brain injuries (TBI) causing trauma to the brain or paralysis
- Severe burn accidents
- Accidents that cause organ damage.
In the most serious catastrophic injuries, the result is a devastating death, leaving a family behind to suffer in the aftermath of the accident. At Strong Law, we understand the far-reaching implications of these types of accidents, and we are ready to fight for your rights and interests as you seek compensation so you can move forward. We have offices in Tacoma, Washington; Portland, Oregon; and Salt Lake City, Utah.

“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!”
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”
“I hired Strong Law after my car accident. Jed and his team worked hard on my case. They were professional and compassionate through my surgery and as I recovered, and they were awesome on communication. I got justice and awesome compensation. I would recommend Strong Law to anyone in my situation.”
COMMON TYPES OF LOSSES AFTER CATASTROPHIC INJURIES
While medical bills are one of the most obvious expenses in the days after a catastrophic injury, they are just one. In addition to medical care, you may suffer costs due to travel back and forth to medical appointments and therapies. Many families have to modify their home and vehicle to accommodate wheelchair access. The injured party is often unable to work, leading to immediate and future loss of wages. Pain and suffering, which can be difficult to quantify, is also something to consider. Many accident victims need extensive rehabilitation and may need vocational training, and this can add to the expenses after an accident.

What Is the Value of My Case?
The value of an injury case depends upon many factors related to the extent of your injuries and any other losses associated with your claim. You may have medical bills, lost income, costs associated with pain and suffering, among other possible damages. To learn the possible value of your case, contact the team at Strong Law.

What Are Your Hours?
Strong Law is open five days a week between 9am and 5pm. In addition, we offer after hours return calls, weekend calls, and online chat.
What Kinds Of Cases Are Personal Injury?
Call us to know for sure, but a good rule of thumb is when an “accident” that happened to you because of the acts of or misdeeds of another party. Examples are: Auto accidents; motorcycle accidents; semi-truck accidents; wrongful death; medical malpractice; slip, trip and fall; boating accidents, faulty equipment, nursing home abuse; and many others.
Will I Be Charged To Consult Or Talk With You?
No, not ever. Strong Law is a contingency personal injury firm offering specialized experience along with access when you need it. Our goal is to gain the best settlement and provide comfort in the process, so easy access to us is part of our best practices.
What Does Contingency Mean?
Contingency in a legal matter means an expense to the client based on the outcome of a future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. Said another way, Strong Law gets paid only if your case settles.
Can You Give Me An Assessment Of My Case?
Absolutely. While we cannot guarantee anything, nor do we imply a settlement, our willingness to take your case (and do it on contingency) is our voice that we feel your case has strong merit. After speaking with you, we can provide a merit assessment over the phone. However, we caution that accepting your case does not promise anything, your outcome is reflected in the law firm you choose.
What Should I Do If I’m Having Problems, Like Their Insurance Company Is Calling Me?
Always secure an attorney first. If you sign up with Strong Law now, you can advise their insurance company that you have representation and give them our name and contact information. From that time forward, they should not be contacting you again; it’s the law. If you do not sign with an attorney, like Strong Law, you will need to speak with them and represent yourself to resolve your injury. We strongly urge against this; insurance companies are skilled at ensuring their best interests over yours.
What Are Common Reasons For Insurance Injury Denials?
Make sure you receive medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident, otherwise insurance may argue your pain is from an unrelated incident.Insurance companies will be going out of their way to find some proof that the accident was your fault. Don’t be intimidated.If you have preexisting medical conditions that make you more likely to suffer an injury, it is not uncommon for insurance agencies to deny claims based on this.
How Long Does A Case Take To Settle?
It depends on many factors like medical care, future needs, evidence, proof of liability, and many others. Some cases take months while others can last a couple years. Ultimately, our goal is to represent you and what is going to be best for you in the long run.
Why Can Cases Last Years?
Because the law dictates it. There are many layers to make sure the insurance companies treat you with optimal care. For example, there will be time spent for medical treatments you might need. There is time to gather the needed medical reports and discover any long term impacts this injury will have on your life today and into the future. There is time for the other side to review our demands, research, and respond as well. It can feel like a long time, but we follow the law and strategize for the best benefit to you. We are with you the whole time.
