Wrongful Death Attorneys in Utah

DEATH CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANOTHER IS CALLED “WRONGFUL DEATH” BECAUSE IT’S WRONG.

Family members deserve compensation. We’re tough, expert, wrongful death lawyers serving Salt Lake City, Draper, and other Utah cities.
98% of our cases are settled out of court.
Vehicle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and medical malpractice injuries can cause tragic, catastrophic damages. Most accident victims recover from the injuries sustained, however, there are incidents where the victim is killed at the scene or dies en route to the hospital or even several days later. These cases are referred to as accidental death cases and/or wrongful death cases. An accidental death is one where a death was not intended to happen. These unexpected and untimely deaths are due to the negligence and carelessness of others.

The person or people responsible for the death of your family member should be held accountable for the pain and suffering they have caused. Dealing with the death of a loved one is painful and traumatic by itself.
While no one can bring back your loved one, we are here to help you get through some of the financial difficulties that come with these types of cases. William Rawlings & Associates will handle your case with compassion and sensitivity while aggressively pursuing the financial loss suffered by those left behind. As your Utah Accident Attorneys, below is a list of things you can expect from our firm:
Payment of medical bills and expenses
Loss of income
Loss of companionship
Funeral expenses
Loss of pension benefits
Pain and suffering for the surviving spouse and/or family members

CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY TO WIN YOUR LAWSUIT.

The amount that can be recovered in an individual’s wrongful death lawsuit depends on the ability of the family to bring clear and convincing evidence that the death was caused or contributed to by the individual or entity being sued. Often, a victim’s assailant can be tried first in criminal court, then brought to civil court. The civil trial, if any, is completely independent of any criminal activity. 

These issues are extremely emotionally and legally complex. Thus, it is recommended that families who believe their loved one has died due to the negligence or misconduct of another immediately contact an experienced Utah personal injury lawyer with expertise in such wrongful death cases.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Most injury claims can be settled for their full value through negotiation, mediation or arbitration, without having to go to court. Our firm settles almost 98% of our accident cases outside of court. However, if the Insurance Company refuses to offer a reasonable settlement to compensate you for all of your present and future loss, this may require that you participate in legal proceedings.
Almost every Utah car insurance policy has at least $3,000 available for medical bills, no matter who was at fault for the accident. However, most of our client’s medical expenses exceed that $3,000 threshold. You may submit your remaining bills to your Health Insurance, however, if you do not have health insurance, we at William Rawlings & Associates will contact all of your medical providers and obtain a lien on your behalf for any and all treatment you may need from Physical therapy to surgery. This lien simply states that the medical provider agrees to hold on to their bill and continue to treat you until you are released and agree to wait for payment until your case is settled.
The Insurance Company will do everything they can to get you to sign a release for very little money. Most of the time they will make this offer before you are even through treating. Once you sign that release you cannot go back and ask for more help with more treatment or a future surgery, etc. Put our award winning Personal Injury Attorneys on your side. We will make sure you are fully compensated for your claim and all of your out of pocket expenses.
