Car Accident

If you have just experienced a car accident, you may be worried about expensive medical bills, days or weeks of lost work, months of physical recovery, and of course, your car is in need of repairs as well. It’s a lot to deal with! But the car accident attorney at Injury Smart Law is ready to help. With offices in St. George, Cedar City, and Mesquite, as well as a presence in Salt Lake City, we have decades of experience fighting insurance companies and litigating disputes, helping our clients obtain the peace of mind and financial compensation they need to rebuild their lives.

We Deal With All Car Accident Claims

Car accident claims are our specialty. We understand the complexities and emotional challenges that come with navigating the aftermath of a car accident. Our dedicated team is committed to guiding you through every step of the legal process, providing the support and compensation you deserve. With our extensive experience and focus on car accident cases, we aim to provide personalized assistance and expert advice tailored to your unique situation.

Even if your own actions contributed to the accident, our car accident attorneys can still help you win partial compensation from other responsible parties.

All drivers have an obligation to show reasonable care while driving. In every case, we take a detail-oriented approach to show how another driver was negligent, breached their duty of care, and caused your accident.

If your vehicle was damaged in the collision, you also have rights related to property damage claims — including repair costs, rental coverage, and total loss valuation, which we can help you pursue as part of your overall recovery.

Accidents involving rideshare drivers, such as Uber and Lyft vehicles, can involve different insurance layers and liability questions that differ from typical car crashes.

Hit-And-Run Driver

By law, drivers are expected to stop after getting into a car accident. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen, and this can complicate claims with insurance providers.

In cases involving impaired or intoxicated drivers, such as DUI or drunk driving accidents, liability and insurance issues can also become more complex and may require specialized attention.

If you’ve already filed a claim, you may discover that every aspect of your conduct leading up to the accident will be questioned. At Injury Smart Law, we are familiar with the tactics used by claims adjusters in the wake of hit-and-run accidents. As with other types of auto accidents, we will work with law enforcement to gather all the facts about the case and find witnesses to corroborate your claims. If your insurance company does try to limit your compensation, we can help you fight back with hard evidence.

Filing Claims For Car Defects and Unsafe Roads

Attentive drivers can reduce the risk of accidents by driving safely. But when mechanical failures or road conditions occur, even the most experienced driver may be unable to prevent an accident. Some common causes of accidents not involving driver behavior include:

  • Mechanical defects and failures
  • Flying roadside debris
  • Potholes
  • Missing/unclear road signs and markings
  • Poor visibility

Mechanical defects caused by the negligence or actions of a manufacturer happen more often than you might think. Potholes can form anywhere. City repair crews may fail to remedy a road hazard because they are overtaxed by too much work and too little funding. But when any of these is the direct cause of an accident, the question of liability is raised.

If your car accident was the result of vehicle defects or poorly maintained roads, we can help identify who was responsible and pursue all available evidence necessary to bring your case to a successful conclusion. With diligence, mechanical failures can be traced to manufacturer defects or the services of an auto repair shop, and city governments can be held responsible for failing to maintain infrastructure, from road surfaces to poorly lit streets.

You Can Afford Our Services

We handle every case on a contingency basis. This means no out-of-pocket costs for you. As a car accident attorney, our fee is a percentage of the damages you recover; if you don’t win, we don’t get paid. Let Injury Smart Law fight for you, so you can focus on recovering from your accident and regaining your health.

Before accepting your case, we will do a free consultation and review all the facts surrounding your accident. We will review any available evidence and explain in detail what you need to move forward with your claim. This meticulous process defines the approach our lawyers take with every case, ensuring that our clients have the best possible chance to recover damages from those liable for their accidents and injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

After a car accident, make sure everyone is safe and call emergency services if needed. Exchange information with the other driver, take photos of the vehicles and scene, and request a police report if officers respond. Even in lower-speed crashes common on local roads, injuries can appear days later, so medical evaluation is important.
Fault is determined using police reports, witness statements, vehicle damage, and accident scene evidence. Utah uses a comparative fault system, meaning more than one driver can share responsibility. In Mesquite, Nevada law applies, but fault is still based on evidence showing how the crash occurred rather than assumptions.
Yes. Many car accidents in St. George and Cedar City occur in parking lots or at busy intersections. Fault in these cases often depends on right-of-way rules, traffic controls, and driver behavior. The location of the crash does not prevent an injury claim if negligence played a role.
Car accidents in Southern Utah frequently result in whiplash, back injuries, soft tissue damage, concussions, and fractures. Even crashes that appear minor can lead to ongoing pain or mobility issues, especially when injuries are not immediately obvious.
The timeline depends on injury severity, how long medical treatment lasts, and whether fault is disputed. Some claims resolve in a few months, while others take longer if recovery is ongoing or additional evidence is needed. Claims are typically not finalized until the full impact of injuries is known.
