How we match your Draper personal injury case

When you submit a Draper personal injury matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A personal injury matter needs someone who handles personal injury work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Utah law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Utah who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

Draper sits at Point of the Mountain, where I-15 traffic, the Bangerter Highway interchange, and busy arterials like 12300 South and Highland Drive feed a fast-growing commuter city. Add Corner Canyon trails, winter road conditions coming off the benches, and heavy construction traffic, and injury claims here take many forms. Cases are generally filed in Utah's Third District Court in Salt Lake County, and Utah's comparative fault system means responsibility can be divided among everyone involved, so insurers work hard to shift blame onto you.

Most Utah personal injury attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.

Personal injury attorneys in Utah work on a contingency fee basis — typically 33% to 40% of the total recovery. Utah’s no-fault PIP, UGIA notice, and ski-liability statute make case planning distinctive. Case expenses are typically advanced by the firm and deducted from the final recovery.

Claims tied to the Salt Lake County portion of Draper are generally filed in Utah's Third District Court. Incidents in Lehi, Alpine, or other Utah County locations fall under the Fourth District. An attorney will confirm venue based on where the crash or injury happened.

That is a standard defense in Utah, because fault is allocated among the people involved and your share can reduce your recovery. Photos, dashcam video, witness names, and the police report all help push back. An attorney can develop that evidence before it disappears.

Utah sets deadlines that vary depending on the type of claim and who the defendant is, and claims against a city or state entity carry shorter notice requirements. Missing one usually ends the case, so have an attorney confirm your specific deadline early.

Four years from the date of injury for general negligence under Utah Code § 78B-2-307. Wrongful death is two years under § 78B-2-304. Medical malpractice is two years under § 78B-3-404 with a 4-year repose. Utah Governmental Immunity Act notice must be filed within 1 year under § 63G-7-402.

Under Utah Code § 78B-5-818, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but if your fault is as great as the combined fault of all defendants you recover nothing. Utah is a 50% bar state.
