Why Do Lehi Injury Victims Contact Parker & McConkie?
Our personal injury attorneys serving Lehi work to build claims that document the medical, financial, and personal effects of an accident rather than focusing only on the initial round of bills.
Insurance adjusters approach Lehi accident claims with the goal of closing files efficiently, which may mean presenting settlement offers that do not reflect the full value of a claim.

What Types of Injury Cases Do Lehi Personal Injury Attorneys Handle?
Our Lehi personal injury attorneys take on a broad range of negligence-based claims. The accidents we handle reflect the traffic patterns, employment base, and growth profile of the area.
- Vehicle collisions on I-15, Pioneer Crossing, Timpanogos Highway, and major Lehi intersections
- Truck accidents involving commercial freight vehicles traveling the I-15 corridor between Salt Lake County and Utah County

When negligence results in a death, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim under Utah law. Each case type involves its own evidence requirements and legal standards.
How Does Utah's Comparative Fault Rule Apply to Lehi Injury Claims?
Utah follows a modified comparative negligence standard under Utah Code Section 78B-5-818. A jury may assign a fault percentage to each party, and your compensation may be reduced by whatever share is attributed to you.
Under Utah law, an injured person generally cannot recover damages if they are found to be 50% or more at fault for the accident.
Responding to Fault Arguments
Adjusters may argue that the injured person was speeding, distracted, following too closely, or failed to take some precaution.
Responding to these arguments often involves evidence from the accident scene, witness testimony, accident reconstruction analysis, and any available electronic data.
Every percentage point of fault attributed to the injured person reduces the available recovery.
What Are the Deadlines for Filing an Injury Lawsuit in Lehi?
Utah's general statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is four years from the date of injury under Utah Code Section 78B-2-307.
Wrongful death claims carry a two-year deadline under Utah Code Section 78B-2-304.
Claims against government entities require a notice of claim within one year under the Utah Governmental Immunity Act, Title 63G, Chapter 7.
| Claim Type | Deadline | Statute |
| Personal injury (general) | 4 years from date of injury | Utah Code 78B-2-307 |
| Wrongful death | 2 years from date of death | Utah Code 78B-2-304 |
| Property damage | 3 years from date of damage | Utah Code 78B-2-305 |
| Government entity claims (notice) | 1 year from date of injury | Utah Code 63G-7-402 |
Statutes of limitations may be subject to specific exceptions and tolling provisions depending on the circumstances. Consulting with an attorney while evidence is still available may help strengthen the foundation of your claim.
What Compensation May Be Available Through a Lehi Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim may allow you to recover compensation for both financial losses and the personal impact of your injuries. The amount available depends on the severity of the injuries, the evidence supporting the claim, and the degree of fault assigned under Utah law.
- Past and future medical expenses, including emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and prescriptions
- Lost wages and any long-term reduction in earning ability
- Physical pain, discomfort, and mobility limitations caused by the injury
- Emotional distress, anxiety, and reduced enjoyment of daily activities
- Property damage, including vehicle repair or replacement costs
Utah generally does not impose broad statutory caps on compensatory damages in most non-medical malpractice injury cases. In serious injury claims, building a complete damages analysis may involve medical experts, economists, life care planners, and vocational specialists.
Building a complete damage picture often involves input from medical professionals, vocational analysts, and in serious cases, life care planners and economists who project the cost of future treatment and care.
How Do Insurance Companies Approach Lehi Accident Claims?
Many injury victims are contacted by insurance adjusters within days of an accident, often before they fully understand the extent of their injuries or future medical needs.
Insurance companies evaluate claims with financial and liability considerations in mind. Adjusters may appear helpful while also gathering information that can later be used to dispute liability or minimize the value of a claim.
- Contact you within days of the accident to obtain a recorded statement before you fully understand your injuries
- Present a quick settlement offer designed to close the file before you grasp the potential value of your case
- Question the necessity of your medical treatment or argue your symptoms are unrelated to the accident
- Use any gaps in your treatment history to suggest your injuries are less serious than you claim
- Push to assign you a higher percentage of fault to reduce the payout under Utah's comparative negligence rule
Having an attorney handle insurance communication early in the process may help prevent casual remarks from ending up in the adjuster's file.
What Should You Do to Protect Your Lehi Injury Claim?
Once you are home from the hospital and your medical care is underway, several specific actions may help support your case as it moves forward.
Follow Your Treatment Plan
Attend every appointment your doctor recommends and complete prescribed therapy. Skipping appointments or stopping treatment early may give the insurance company a basis to argue that your injuries are not serious.
Build Your Documentation
- Save all medical bills, pharmacy receipts, and explanation of benefits statements in a single file
- Photograph visible injuries as they progress and heal
- Keep a daily log of how the injury affects your work, driving, sleep, and family activities
- Hold on to every letter, email, or document received from the insurance company
Records created in real time often carry more credibility than recollections offered months later.
Limit Your Social Media Activity
Insurance investigators and defense attorneys often review social media accounts for posts that may contradict injury claims. Even an innocent photo at a family gathering or a casual comment about feeling better may be taken out of context to argue your injuries are exaggerated.
FAQs for Lehi Personal Injury Lawyers
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit after an accident in Lehi?
Utah law under Section 78B-2-307 generally provides four years from the date of injury for most personal injury claims. Wrongful death cases carry a two-year deadline.
Claims against government entities require a notice of claim within one year. Exceptions and tolling provisions may apply in specific circumstances. Missing any applicable deadline may permanently bar your case.
What types of accidents do Lehi personal injury lawyers handle?
Our attorneys handle car accidents, truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, slip and fall injuries, dog bites, construction accidents, rideshare collisions, traumatic brain injuries, and wrongful death claims throughout Lehi and Utah County.
We tailor our approach to the specific facts and legal standards involved in each case type.
How much does a personal injury lawyer in Lehi cost?
We take personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Case costs and expenses may still apply. This arrangement allows you to pursue your claim without an upfront attorney fee commitment.
Do I have to go to court for a personal injury case in Utah County?
Many personal injury claims in Utah County settle through negotiation before reaching a courtroom, though outcomes vary by case.
Our team prepares each case with the possibility of trial in Fourth District Court in mind. If trial becomes necessary, you have an attorney who has built the file with that potential outcome in view.
What if the other driver who hit me does not have enough insurance?
Utah requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance of $25,000 per person and $65,000 per accident, which may not cover the full cost of serious injuries. Your own underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage, if you carry it, may provide additional compensation up to your policy limits.
Utah also requires personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, which pays initial medical expenses and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault. Reviewing every applicable policy is part of how we approach the claim.
Do I need to come to your Provo or Midvale office, or can you come to Lehi?
We accommodate Lehi clients in several ways, including phone consultations, video meetings, and in-person visits at our Provo office at 37 East Center, Suite 300, which is located approximately 15 minutes south of Lehi on I-15.
For clients with serious injuries who have difficulty traveling, we work to make the consultation process as accessible as possible based on individual circumstances.
The insurance company already made me an offer. Should I take it?
Speaking with an attorney before accepting any insurance settlement offer is always a good idea. Early offers may not reflect the full value of an injury claim because adjusters sometimes extend them before the full long-term cost of medical care and lost income is known.
A free consultation allows you to compare the offer against your documented and projected losses.
How long do Lehi personal injury cases usually take?
Timelines vary based on injury severity, the strength of liability evidence, and how aggressively the insurance company contests the claim. Some cases with clear fault and documented injuries may resolve within several months.
Cases involving serious injuries, multiple parties, or disputed liability may take a year or more. We provide a realistic timeline estimate during the initial consultation based on the facts of the case.
What if my accident happened in Lehi but I was visiting from out of state?
You may still pursue a claim in Utah courts for an accident that occurred in Lehi, regardless of where you live.
Utah law generally applies to accidents that happen within the state, and our attorneys handle claims for out-of-state visitors who were injured in Utah County. We work to coordinate the process to minimize travel demands.
