Injured In Utah

In Utah, the statute of limitations governing a lawsuit for personal injury or death following an auto accident can vary a great deal depending on who you are making the claim against and what type of claim it is. Generally speaking the claim must be made within four years of the auto accident. One exception is for children, who don't need to bring a claim until four years after their eighteenth birthday. Another exception is when you are seeking underinsured coverage. These claims must be brought within a certain time frame after the claim for liability insurance is resolved. As always, you should check with an experienced Utah auto attorney if you have any questions regarding time limits.

Other time limits may also come into play. For example, a claim for wrongful death must be brought within two years from the date of the accident. Attorneys who handle wrongful death claims can assist in making the claim in a timely manner and also assist in identifying the unique damages which go along with such a tragic loss.

Finally, products liability claims associated with an auto accident such as defective design or defective manufacturing can also impose a wide variety of claims and involve areas of law that only successful injury law firms are equipped to handle.
