Choosing the right attorney can make a significant difference in the outcome of your claim. At Lance Bingham, we understand that a serious injury affects every aspect of your life, from your health and finances to your family's future. Our legal team is committed to providing personalized representation, honest guidance, and aggressive advocacy throughout every stage of your case.
When you hire Lance Bingham, you can expect an attorney who will thoroughly investigate your accident, preserve critical evidence, work with medical and financial experts when necessary, and negotiate directly with insurance companies on your behalf. If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to take your case to court and fight for the compensation you deserve.
We also believe that quality legal representation should be accessible to everyone. That's why we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
The steps you take after an accident can affect both your recovery and your legal claim. Acting quickly can help preserve evidence and protect your right to compensation.
After an accident, you should:
Insurance companies often begin investigating a claim immediately after an accident. While adjusters may appear helpful, their goal is frequently to resolve claims for as little money as possible. Without legal representation, you may accept a settlement that does not fully cover your current and future losses.
A personal injury lawyer can protect your interests by investigating the accident, identifying all liable parties, gathering evidence, calculating the full extent of your damages, negotiating with insurance companies, and representing you in court if necessary. Having experienced legal counsel also allows you to focus on your recovery while your attorney handles the legal process.
Car accidents are among the most common causes of serious injuries in Utah. Whether your crash involved distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, or another form of negligence, Lance Bingham can help you pursue compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. These cases may involve multiple liable parties, including trucking companies, drivers, maintenance providers, and cargo loaders. Our firm investigates every aspect of the collision to build the strongest possible claim.
Motorcyclists have little protection during a collision, making serious injuries common. If another driver's negligence caused your motorcycle accident, Lance Bingham can help you pursue compensation while protecting your rights against unfair assumptions about motorcycle riders.
Bicyclists are especially vulnerable when motorists fail to share the road safely. We represent injured cyclists who have suffered serious injuries because of negligent drivers, unsafe roadway conditions, or other acts of negligence, helping them seek the compensation they deserve.
Pedestrians often suffer life-changing injuries when struck by motor vehicles. Whether the collision occurred in a crosswalk, parking lot, or along a roadway, our attorneys work to hold negligent drivers accountable and pursue full compensation for injured pedestrians.
Dog attacks can cause serious physical injuries, permanent scarring, emotional trauma, and costly medical treatment. If you or a loved one was bitten by a dog in Utah, Lance Bingham can explain your legal rights and pursue compensation from the responsible party.
Drivers who choose to operate a vehicle while impaired place everyone on the road at risk. If you were injured by a drunk or drug-impaired driver, we will aggressively pursue compensation and work to hold the negligent driver accountable for the harm they caused.
Aviation accidents often involve complex investigations and multiple potentially responsible parties. Whether the accident involved a private aircraft, charter flight, or another aviation-related incident, our firm is prepared to handle these challenging claims with careful attention to detail.
Boating accidents can result in severe injuries caused by operator negligence, excessive speed, equipment failures, or unsafe conditions. Lance Bingham represents individuals injured in recreational boating accidents and works to recover compensation for the losses they have suffered.
If someone else's negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to recover compensation for both your financial losses and the personal impact the accident has had on your life.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include:
An experienced Utah personal injury lawyer can evaluate your claim and pursue the full compensation available under Utah law.
Not every car accident or personal injury case involves only one responsible party. In some situations, both the injured person and another party may share responsibility for what happened. Utah follows a modified comparative fault rule, which means you may still recover compensation as long as your percentage of fault does not exceed the combined fault of the defendants. However, any compensation you receive is generally reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you are awarded $100,000 but are found to be 20% at fault, your recovery would generally be reduced to $80,000. Determining fault is often one of the most contested issues in a personal injury claim, making a thorough investigation essential to protecting your right to recover compensation.
After an accident, the insurance company may offer a settlement before you fully understand the extent of your injuries or the long-term impact on your life. While accepting an early offer may seem tempting, it often does not account for future medical treatment, ongoing rehabilitation, lost earning capacity, or the full value of your pain and suffering.
Once you accept a settlement, you are generally required to release the insurance company and the at-fault party from further liability. This means you may not be able to seek additional compensation if your condition worsens or unexpected expenses arise later.
Before accepting any settlement offer, it is wise to have an experienced personal injury attorney review the proposed agreement and determine whether it fairly reflects the value of your claim.
In most cases, Utah law gives injured victims four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death claims generally have a two-year statute of limitations.
Certain cases, including those involving government entities, may have shorter deadlines or additional notice requirements. Speaking with an attorney as soon as possible can help protect your right to seek compensation.
You may have a personal injury case if someone else's negligence caused your injuries and you suffered damages as a result. Every case is different, so the best way to determine whether you have a valid claim is to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney who can evaluate the facts of your situation.
At Lance Bingham, we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront attorney fees, and we only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf. This allows you to pursue your claim without worrying about paying legal fees while your case is pending.
The value of a personal injury claim depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost income, future treatment needs, pain and suffering, and whether you have permanent disabilities or impairments. An attorney can review your case and provide a better estimate based on your specific circumstances.
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
Negligence occurs when someone fails to exercise reasonable care and causes another person to suffer injuries. To succeed in a personal injury claim, you generally must show that the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, caused your injuries, and that you suffered compensable damages as a result.
Most personal injury claims are resolved through settlement negotiations before trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, filing a lawsuit and presenting your case before a judge or jury may become necessary. At Lance Bingham, we prepare every case as though it may proceed to trial so we are ready to advocate for you at every stage.
If you were injured because of someone else's negligence, you deserve experienced legal guidance and an advocate who will fight for your best interests. An experienced Utah personal injury lawyer can explain your rights, handle the insurance companies, and pursue the compensation you need to move forward.
