Moab Personal Injury Attorneys
60+ Years of Combined Experience Serving Eastern Utah
Accidents happen all the time, including in Utah. According to the Utah Highway Safety Office, for example, in 2012 there were more than 52,200 motor vehicle collisions on public roads in the state, which resulted in more than 22,300 injuries and 243 deaths. Beyond car accidents, individuals can also be injured in explosions, while skiing, and more. Just because accidents can happen anytime, anywhere, however, that doesn’t mean they’re always natural and no one is to blame. Many accidents, including motor vehicle collisions, are caused by negligent people. Most car accidents are caused by human error, for example, or negligent drivers who fail to practice road safety or follow laws. If you or a loved one has been injured, our Moab, UT personal injury attorneys can be by your side to listen to your story and determine the best way we can help. Veritas Injury Lawyers can help you file a claim and hold at-fault parties responsible so you can reclaim your life.
Our Trusted PI Legal Services in Utah
Accidents can happen anytime, everywhere, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you deserve to be injured. If you suspect someone is guilty of causing your injuries, whether it’s a driver who failed to signal before merging or a medical professional who misdiagnosed you, we can investigate your accident and determine liability. It’s best to call a lawyer who has personal injury experience before you decide to give up on starting a case you may be able to benefit from.
Accidents can result in a variety of injuries, including cuts and abrasions, broken bones, sprains and fractures, head and brain injuries, spinal cord and neck injuries, burns, amputations, and much more. Serious injuries tend to be expensive to treat and some can even result in permanent disabilities that require lifelong treatment.
Utah’s Statute of Limitations
All states have what is known as a statute of limitations for personal injury claims, meaning individuals who wish to recover financial compensation have a limited amount of time to do so. In Utah, the statute of limitations is four years, meaning individuals have four years from the date of their injuries to file a claim and hold negligent drivers and other individuals responsible.
Though this may seem like a long time, it’s not uncommon for victims to wait to file a claim and then miss their deadline, preventing them from securing the compensation they need to pay for mounting medical bills and other damages. By hiring an attorney who has the experience needed to help you file a claim efficiently, you can avoid missing your chance at achieving justice.

-
Is My Personal Injury Settlement or Verdict Taxable?This depends: Punitive damages are taxable as "other means of income." Interest income comes from judgment interest. Compensation for economic and noneconomic damages is not taxed by the IRS. The settlement or verdict agreement will be clearly stated so the IRS will impose you fairly.
-
What Is the Required Minimum Auto Insurance In Colorado?Legal auto insurance coverage is: $25,000 per injured victim $15,000 minimum in property damage $50,000 per accident, no matter how many victims have been affected Since Colorado is a "fault" state, this means you can file a claim against the defendant driver's insurance carrier. However, if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, there are steps you can take to get around that.
-
If the Accident Was Somewhat My Fault, Can I Still Win My Case?Yes. However, you may not win the maximum possible settlement amount. Under Colorado's fault principles, your damages will be decreased in proportion to your fault. So, if you were 30% at fault, then your damages would be reduced by that amount in the claims. Keep in mind that the court determines fault.
-
How Much Time Do I Have to File an Auto Accident Lawsuit?In most cases, you have around three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. The deadline can be prolonged if you discovered the injury later. If you are planning to sue a government establishment, you may be required to file a claim within a few months after the accident.
