An insurance agency wants me to sign/do/or agree with something I am not comfortable with, what should I do?
Do not sign or do anything without contacting an attorney. You are not legally obligated to do anything with the insurance companies without legal representation. Even your own insurance company can and will use anything on the record for reasons that may not be in your best interest.
What is my case worth?
This depends on several important factors. These factors include but are not limited to:
- Your out of pocket expenses, including medical bills, lost wages, and any other direct or indirect expense resulting from the car crash.
- Anything permanent that negatively affects your life. This can be disfigurement or disability that results in a loss of quality of life.
- A situation that calls for retirement from work
- Death.
We work with you to ensure all the costs of your case have been analyzed to ensure your rights to compensation will be upheld.
What are some common causes of a car crash?
This is a fascinating question, especially when analyzing it within the scope of Utah and Idaho. Both states face unique challenges on the road that many states do not. These challenges all help annually to contribute to the number of accidents we see on the road. Including:
- Inattentive driver: This is probably the most common of all reasons for a car crash. This can mean many different things but most commonly refers to a driver talking or texting on their cell phone, eating or doing their make-up, or simply daydreaming and not paying attention to what is happening on the road.
- Intoxicated driver: Unfortunately, we also see this is a common cause of many automobile accidents. When drivers are under the influence of either drugs or alcohol, it usually results in a loss of life.
- Road and weather conditions: This is really where Utah and Idaho drivers face unique challenges. Both states are known for their erratic weather. Rain, snow, sleet, and hail all contribute to accidents. Drivers cannot properly see all the hazards on the road, or they slide into another car. Anyway, you look at it, our brutal weather adds to our yearly accident toll.
The reasons for a car crash are as numerous as any other accident. There are some common causes, but ultimately no two accidents are the same. Even if police reports or insurance companies may lead you to believe that a case is cut and dried, you need a third-party professional to analyze your Utah car crash.
