When someone else's carelessness turns your life upside down, you shouldn't have to face the insurance companies alone. West Injury Law is a Salt Lake City personal injury firm representing people hurt in car and truck crashes, motorcycle and bicycle accidents, dog bites, slip-and-falls, and other preventable incidents across Utah. From the first call, you pay nothing up front, and no attorney fees unless we win.
Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to pay you as little as possible. We level the field: we investigate what happened, document the full extent of your injuries (including the costs that come later), and hold the at-fault party accountable — through settlement when we can, and trial when we must. The consultation is always free, there's no fee unless we recover for you, and Hablamos Español.

What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
I Can Genuinely Recommend Christian As Your Injury Attorney.
After reaching out to a handful of attorneys, Christian was the first to reach out to me. Despite the fact that it was late in the evening, he still got in touch and listened to my case.
We worked on my case for quite some time. During that time he has been professional, empathetic, and kind.

He Is A Sincerely Caring Individual And Professionally Top Notch
I was in an auto accident. I was honestly worried about leaving my case to my insurance company. So I called West Injury and Christian took my case. I am so glad I went to him instead. He is a sincerely caring individual and professionally top notch. He sorted through all of it and I got the best possible outcome. I highly recommend West Law Injury.

Detailed And Thorough
My wife and I took a hard fall on a sidewalk outside a business. Christian accepted the case and handled the case in a very professional manner. He kept in touch about the progress of the case and worked out a solution. I would not hesitate on contacting Christian in the future on other legal matters. Thanks for a job well done.

Utah Personal Injury Laws You Should Know
A few Utah rules shape almost every injury claim:
- Comparative fault (50% bar). Your compensation is reduced by your share of fault, and if you're found 50% or more responsible, you recover nothing. Insurers exploit this by shifting blame onto you.
- Statute of limitations. You generally have four years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim in Utah — and only two years for a wrongful death claim. Miss the deadline and you can lose the right to recover.
- No-fault (PIP). Utah is a no-fault auto state: your own Personal Injury Protection pays initial medical bills regardless of fault, and you can pursue the at-fault driver once your medical costs exceed $3,000 or you suffer a permanent injury.
- What you can recover. Economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future care), non-economic damages (pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life), and, in rare cases of egregious conduct, punitive damages.
Every case is different. For details on how these rules apply to your situation, see our Practice Areas or contact us for a free consultation.
What to Do After an Accident in Utah
- 1 Get medical care right away. Even if you feel okay — some injuries surface days later, and prompt treatment ties your injuries to the accident.
- 2 Report it. Call the police (or, for a fall or dog bite, notify the property owner or animal control) and make sure an official report is created.
- 3 Document everything. Photograph the scene, your injuries, and any hazard; get contact and insurance information and any witness details.
- 4 Don't talk to the insurance company. Never give a recorded statement or accept a quick settlement offer before speaking with an attorney.
- 5 Call West Injury Law. The consultation is free, and we handle the insurers so you can focus on recovery — no attorney fees unless we win.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. We work on contingency — our fee comes out of the recovery we win for you. You pay nothing up front, and no attorney fees unless we win. The consultation is always free.
How do I know if I have a case?
If someone else's negligence caused your injury, there's a good chance you do. The best way to find out is a free case review — we'll give you an honest answer, with no obligation.
What if I was partly at fault?
You may still recover. Utah reduces your compensation by your share of fault, and you're barred only if you're 50% or more responsible. Insurers exaggerate your fault on purpose — we push back.
How long do I have to file a claim in Utah?
Generally four years from the date of injury for a personal injury claim, and two years for wrongful death. Because evidence disappears quickly, it's best to call early.
How much is my case worth?
It depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical costs, lost income, and the available insurance. Our Settlement Calculator can give you a rough estimate, but a free case review is the most accurate way to find out.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle without a trial. But we prepare every case as if it will go to court — because insurers pay fairly when they know you're ready to.
