What to Look For in an Orem Accident Lawyer
Fourth District Court Experience
Utah County cases (including Orem and Provo) are tried in Fourth District Court. You want an attorney who knows the judges, court staff, and local procedures.
Contingency Fee
You shouldn't pay anything upfront. The best accident lawyers work on contingency - they only get paid when you win.
Track Record
Ask about past settlements and verdicts. Look for attorneys with proven results in cases similar to yours.
Trial Experience
Most cases settle, but insurance companies offer more when they know your attorney isn't afraid to go to trial.
Resources
Complex cases require expert witnesses, accident reconstructionists, and medical specialists. Your attorney should have the resources to build a strong case.
Communication
You should have direct access to your attorney (not just paralegals). Regular updates and prompt responses matter.
Orem Accident Law: What You Need to Know
Utah's Comparative Negligence Law
Even if you're partially at fault, you can still recover damages in Utah - as long as you're less than 50% responsible. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Example: If you're awarded $100,000 but found 20% at fault, you'll receive $80,000.
Statute of Limitations
You have 4 years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit in Fourth District Court. However, waiting reduces your leverage and allows evidence to disappear.
Government vehicles: Special 1-year notice requirement. If a city, county, or state vehicle was involved, you must file a notice of claim within 1 year.
