West Valley City Car Accident Claims Attorneys
Car accident victims should be able to recover just compensation for their injuries by simply turning to the insurance company, but it is almost never that easy. The insurance companies do not willingly pay full and fair compensation, and if they pay at all you could find yourself needing far more money to cover your needs down the road. The accident attorneys of Hirschi Steele & Baer, PLLC, are here to help you get the compensation that you and your family truly need.
Investigating Your Car Accident
Our West Valley City car accident claims attorneys will thoroughly investigate your car accident claims to determine all factors which may have caused the accident itself as well as factors which have contributed to the seriousness of your injuries. While some car accidents are fairly straightforward, it is more common for multiple factors to lead to an accident. Even in accidents where the cause is clear-cut, elements such as defective seat belts or airbags can play a large role in causing injuries.
All of these elements point us to the avenues of compensation in your case.
Negligence
Most car accidents involve driver negligence which really pits you against the other driver’s insurance company. We help you hold the insurance company to its financial responsibility for your injuries. The insurance company will fight hard to avoid having to pay and may try to prove that you were responsible for the accident or that your injuries or their consequences are not as serious as they really are.
Defective Vehicle
If your accident or your injuries were caused by a defective vehicle, you have a product liability case. You may be able to recover compensation from one or more of the following:
- Auto manufacturer
- Dealership
- Parts manufacturer or seller
- Rental company
- Repair shop
Defective Roadway
Accidents caused by defective roadways are more challenging than those caused by driver negligence or a defective vehicle because they typically require that you sue a government entity. That changes the rules, and gives you a very short amount of time to get started.
