Christian West

Christian started West Injury Law in December 2020 and has since handled personal injury cases at every level, recovering millions from insurers who were counting on his clients accepting far less.

Christian has always liked numbers. He runs most of his math in his head, which comes in handy when he's valuing a claim, working through medical specials, or negotiating a lien down to what it should have been in the first place. The same instinct for structure showed up on the LSAT, where he earned a perfect score on the logic games section. Personal injury work rewards people who can hold a lot of moving pieces at once and notice the one that doesn't fit.

Outside the office, Christian and his wife are raising two young daughters. When he needs to clear his head, he goes up. He's a lifelong skier and a climber who has summited Cotopaxi, the 19,000-foot volcano south of Quito, and topped out on the Grand Teton by the Petzoldt Ridge Direct.

Closer to home, he's an avid Utah Jazz fan and plays as much golf as two small children allow.
