Question 1

How much does it cost to hire LawyerUp?

Accepted Answer

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict, so there is zero financial risk to you.

Question 2

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Utah?

Accepted Answer

Utah has a 4-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims (Utah Code §78B-2-307). Wrongful death claims have a 2-year limit. The sooner you act, the stronger your case — evidence fades and witnesses forget.

Question 3

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

Accepted Answer

Call 911, seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, exchange insurance information, and DO NOT give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company. Then call LawyerUp at (866) 264-2638 for a free case evaluation.

Question 4

How much is my personal injury case worth?

Accepted Answer

Every case is different. Factors include: severity of injuries, medical expenses (current and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, and the degree of fault. We evaluate your case for free and give you an honest assessment.

Question 5

What if I was partially at fault?

Accepted Answer

Utah follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Question 6

Do you handle property damage claims too?

Accepted Answer

Yes — LawyerUp is the only firm in Utah that handles both your personal injury AND property damage claims simultaneously. Diminished value, total loss disputes, rental car recovery — while you focus on healing, we make sure your car is taken care of too.

Question 7

How long does a personal injury case take?

Accepted Answer

Simple cases may resolve in 3-6 months. Complex cases with severe injuries, disputed liability, or multiple parties can take 12-24 months or more. We push for fast resolutions without sacrificing your compensation.

Question 8

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?

Accepted Answer

No. Do not give a recorded statement. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize your claim and will use your own words against you. Let LawyerUp handle all communications with the insurance company.

Question 9

What types of cases does LawyerUp handle?

Accepted Answer

We handle all personal injury cases: car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall, wrongful death, dog bites, medical malpractice, and property damage claims (diminished value, total loss, rental recovery).

Question 10

What is a contingency fee?

Accepted Answer

A contingency fee means the attorney's fee is contingent on winning your case. If we don't recover money for you, you owe us nothing. The fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or verdict, and it's only collected when we win.
