What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim allows family members (spouse, children, or parents) to seek compensation when a loved one dies due to someone else’s carelessness, negligence, or intentional act. This is a right guaranteed under the Utah Constitution to protect families from suffering uncompensated harm.

We are dedicated to:

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Utah?
In Utah, a claim may be brought by the heirs of the deceased — including a spouse, children, or parents — or by a personal representative of the estate acting on behalf of all heirs. Because these claims are made for the benefit of all heirs, it’s important to work with an attorney who understands how to properly represent everyone’s interests.
What Is the Time Limit for Filing?
Utah law requires wrongful death claims to be filed within two years of the date of death — and sometimes as little as one year if a government entity is involved. There are exceptions, but because time limits vary and missing a deadline can bar your claim entirely, you should speak to an attorney as soon as possible.
