At Parker + McConkie, we are experienced in handling various personal injury cases. A few of the most common examples include:
Car accidents are a common cause of personal injuries. The aftermath can be overwhelming, with victims dealing with physical, emotional, and financial distress. Whether you’ve been involved in an accident with another car, a truck, or a motorcycle, or you’ve been a pedestrian or cyclist injured in an accident, we are here to help. We understand the complexities of motor vehicle collision cases and will work diligently to ensure you are compensated for your injuries.
Owners and occupiers of property have a legal duty to ensure their premises are safe. If a failure to meet this duty has resulted in a slip and fall accident causing your injury, we can help you seek justice. These cases often involve complex legal arguments, but our experienced attorneys have the skills and knowledge to navigate these challenges successfully.
Medical professionals are trusted with our health and well-being. They can be held liable when they fall short of their duty due to negligence or carelessness, causing harm to patients. Medical malpractice cases can range from surgical errors and misdiagnoses to negligent prenatal care and pharmacy errors. We will fight tirelessly to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
You may have a product liability claim if you have been injured due to a faulty product. Companies must ensure their products are safe for use, and failure to do so can result in them being held liable for injuries caused. Whether it’s a defective household appliance, a faulty car part, or a harmful pharmaceutical product, we are prepared to fight for you.
You’re likely entitled to workers’ compensation if you’ve been injured in a workplace accident. However, you may also have a personal injury claim if the negligence of a third party caused your injury. Whether it’s a construction site accident, an office slip and fall, or an injury caused by faulty machinery, our attorneys are experienced in handling a wide range of workplace accident cases.
If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent, careless, or intentional actions of another, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit. We understand that no amount of compensation can replace a loved one who has passed away, but we aim to ease the financial burden that may have been left behind. Our attorneys approach these cases with utmost sensitivity and compassion, dedicated to seeking justice for your loved one and peace of mind.
The immediate period after an accident can be confusing and stressful. However, your actions during this time can significantly affect the outcome of your personal injury claim.
First and foremost, it’s essential to seek medical attention. Your health should be your priority, and medical records serve as crucial evidence in personal injury cases, including car accidents, workplace injuries, and dog bites.
It’s also important to report the accident to the necessary authorities. If you’ve been involved in a traffic accident, for instance, you should report the incident to the local police. If it’s a workplace accident, notify your supervisor or employer.
If possible, document the scene. This can involve taking photographs or videos of the location of the incident, your immediate injuries, and any other relevant factors, such as poor lighting in a slip-and-fall accident.
Remember to gather witness information. If anyone saw what happened, their account could be essential in substantiating your claim. Get their names and contact details.
Lastly, contact a personal injury lawyer. This should be done as soon as possible. At Parker + McConkie, we can guide you on the appropriate next steps and take over the legal complexities, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
Negligence is a key component in most personal injury cases. To establish negligence, we need to prove that:
Our experienced attorneys at Parker + McConkie will carefully evaluate and build your case, focusing on establishing these elements to prove negligence and secure your rightful compensation.
Utah’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally four years from the accident date, as outlined in Utah Code § 78B-2-307. This time limit is crucial; failing to file a lawsuit within this period typically means forfeiting your right to pursue compensation. Our attorneys will ensure your case is promptly handled and filed within the stipulated time frame.
Victims of personal injuries may be entitled to various damages, which generally fall into three categories: economic, non-economic, and punitive.
Economic damages, also known as special damages, are intended to compensate for any expenses you might have incurred as a result of the injury. This can include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost pay, salary, earning capacity, and any other out-of-pocket costs related to the injury.
Non-economic or general damages compensate for non-tangible losses that are more subjective. While they are harder to quantify, they are still essential. This covers damages for issues such as loss of enjoyment, emotional trauma, suffering and pain, and a loss of personal companionship.
These are not as common. The goal of these damages is to punish, not to compensate; however, you can be awarded significantly more money if the defendant’s conduct was particularly severe or reckless.
At Parker + McConkie, we are committed to securing the maximum compensation available to you under the law. We understand that your compensation should reflect not just your current but also future needs, considering potential medical costs and any long-term implications of your injury, particularly if it leads to a long-term disability that might require Social Security disability application filings.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else’s negligence, don’t bear the burden alone. Seek the skilled legal representation of our dedicated Millcreek personal injury lawyers. At Parker + McConkie, we treat your case with the care, compassion, and commitment it deserves, focusing on achieving the justice and compensation you deserve.
