Helping Families Across Utah After a Tragic Loss

According to the CDC, accidents are the third leading cause of death in Utah. Losing a loved one because of someone else’s negligence is one of the most devastating experiences a family can face.

THE Utah Injury Lawyer, helps families throughout Utah, including the Wasatch Front, hold negligent parties accountable and seek justice for the wrongful death of their loved ones.

  • 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.

During such a vulnerable time, families are often targeted by insurance companies who hope you’ll settle quickly or make mistakes that hurt your case. A wrongful death attorney advocates for you, protecting your rights and handling the legal complexities so you can focus on your family and healing.

We are dedicated to:

✅ Investigating the truth about what happened and why.

✅ Preserving and presenting evidence before it’s lost.

✅ Negotiating with insurance companies who seek to deny or minimize your claim.

✅ Taking your case to trial, if necessary, to pursue full and fair compensation.

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.
