Question:

How do I pick the best attorney for my construction accident claim?

Answer:

In selecting an attorney for someone who’s been injured in a construction accident in the state of Utah, you want to consider somebody who has a lot of experience in personal injury. You also want to look at somebody who has specific training, education, and experience in commercial construction cases, because there are a lot of different components that require expertise. You’ve got to deal with the employer, the insurance company for the workers’ compensation, as well as for the other parties that are at fault, and that can become quite difficult if it’s not something you’ve done, know how to do, or have been trained to do. If you’re looking for somebody in the state of Utah, you want to consider all of those things.

Also, it’s really important that you get somebody who is a trial attorney. The construction companies in the state of Utah are frequently big entities and have a lot of money to throw at their attorneys to defend the cases. If the case is not handled properly and handled as if you’re going to trial and pushing towards trial, you’re going to lose the value of that case because they know you won’t go to trial.
