UTAH AUTO AND TRUCK ACCIDENTS:

Legal claims that arise from vehicle accidents are typically governed by the law of negligence. Any individual who negligently operates a motor vehicle may be required to pay damages to an injured victim. A personal injury case involving a vehicle accident may become formalized through civil court proceedings, or may be resolved through an informal settlement before a lawsuit is filed. Vehicle accidents can include:

• automobile accidents
• rear end collisions
• semi-tractor trailer accidents
• truck accidents

The surviving family members of a fatally injured accident victim may be able to bring wrongful death charges against the defendant.

UTAH BICYCLE ACCIDENTS:

According to the Federal Highway Administration, over 67,000 cyclists in the U.S. are injured every year in accidents involving motor vehicles. Many cyclists who are injured in bicycle accidents are unaware that they have a personal injury case, and that they may be entitled to compensation for injuries, pain and suffering, medical bills and lost income.

Damages awarded in a bicycle injury claim can include:

• Compensation for an injury sustained while bicycling due to a pothole, poor road or defective sidewalk
• State-mandated residential and commercial bicycle laws, which entitle bikers to observe different traffic rules than cars, trucks and other motorized vehicles. This may mean that a biker is not legally responsible for an accident.

UTAH MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS:

Motorcycle riders are often exposed to dangers not met by automobile drivers and other motorists on the road. The lack of any substantial protective barriers, as well as the difficulty that other motorists may have in seeing or stopping for a motorcycle, leaves riders prone to serious personal injury in the event of an accident. The Utah motorcycle accident attorneys of Froerer and Miles can advise injured riders of their legal rights and discuss the litigation options that are available.

UTAH DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS:

Products liability refers to a manufacturer or seller being held liable for placing a defective product into the hands of a consumer. Products liability cases may include defective or poorly designed machinery, tools, motor vehicle defects, recreational products, pharmaceuticals, and other defective products and equipment. A person injured by a defective or dangerous product may be eligible to file a lawsuit for products liability, and recover damages under one of the following categories: strict product liability, negligence or breach of warranty.

UTAH SLIP AND FALLS/PREMISES LIABILITY:

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere and can cause serious personal injury. Most slip and falls happen in commercial settings, such as grocery stores, drug stores, office buildings, construction sites, gas stations and malls, but they also happen on private property. Premises Liability accidents can include toxic exposure, animal attacks, swimming pool accidents and amusement park ride accidents. In any event, there exist duties on the part of the property owners to maintain the property responsibly and avoid the existence of hazardous conditions.

Dangerous or defective conditions may be large or small, temporary or permanent. Therefore, investigation of the claim is essential to a successful case. Temporary conditions such as water on the floor of a grocery store or snow and ice on the stairs of a restaurant need to be investigated quickly.

UTAH DOG/ANIMAL BITES:

Every year, millions of Americans are bitten by animals. Being attacked by a dog is an extremely stressful event. Any dog bite injuries leave scars and have lasting emotional effects. In the State of Utah, the owner or keeper of a dog is strictly liable for his or her dog, even if it is the first time the dog has injured someone. As long as the injured victim was not trespassing, teasing or tormenting the dog, the keeper or owner of the dog is liable for any injuries sustained. Compensation for a dog bite can include payment for medical bills, pain and suffering, mental anxiety, fear and scarring.
