Injured In Utah

Claims for wrongful death can arise from a wide variety of circumstances and scenarios. A claim for wrongful death can be based upon any form of negligence, including: auto accidents in Utah; personal injury or civil rights violations under Utah law. For example, medical malpractice alone can result in claims based on:

• death due to prescription drug overdose in Utah;
• death because of bowel injury during surgery and sepsis in Utah;
• undiagnosed cancer or illness.

Because of the wide variety of claims which can give rise to a lawsuit for wrongful death under Utah law, there are several different statutes of limitations which can apply. Additionally, a defense against a personal injury lawsuit may not apply to the same claim for wrongful death in Utah. Due to the complexity in this area of law, it is critical that a lawyer experienced in handling Utah wrongful death claims is contacted to make sure that the rights of heirs, children, parents and spouses are preserved to the fullest extent possible.
