As per the Department of Highway Safety, motorcycle accidents in Utah have been rising, and the data spells bad news for insurance companies. These companies and lawyers of the at-fault party often start negotiations by denying the claim and alleging that the victim was negligent or at-fault.
There is little point in going at it alone and presenting the merits of your case to insurance companies and the at-fault party. To represent your case, you need a reputed motorcycle accident law firm in Utah that specializes in personal injury cases. But how will you find one?
Here is a step-by-step guide that can help:
Part A: Short-listing Utah-based Motorcycle Accident Law Firms
There are about 488 personal injury lawyers in Utah and your first task is to create a list of high-quality and reputed legal firms.
You can’t be referring to a legal directory, because all you will end up in is reading glorious introductions, which can lead you to believe that every listed lawyer is the best there is.
You also can’t be asking for references from your friends and relations because that will restrict your choices. The recommendation bias can force you to work with a lawyer without exploring better candidates.
You can always approach the Utah State Bar and obtain a list of motorcycle accident law firms – but it may end up confusing you. That’s because listings will be more or less the same as in a legal directory, and as you know, too many options can overwhelm and force you to make mistakes.
One of the best ways to shortlist a motorcycle accident law firm in Utah is to use the search engine. Quality and reputed law firms own a quality website and believe in investing in content that helps people become more informed litigants.
Shortlist only the law firms that offer a free initial consultation.
