What we cover

Sub-specialties within this area.

Auto accidents

Car-to-car collisions, intersection wrecks, rear-end impacts, and rideshare incidents. Sub-specialty matters: a high-speed freeway collision is a different case than a parking-lot fender-bender.

Motorcycle accidents

Distinct legal terrain — insurance disputes are common, and juries can carry bias. We match to attorneys with motorcycle-specific case history.

Commercial trucking

FMCSA regulations, hours-of-service logs, multi-defendant litigation. These cases require a specialist who understands DOT compliance.

Bicycle & pedestrian

Vulnerable-user cases with their own evidence patterns (helmet use, right-of-way disputes, dooring). Specialists know which arguments hold.

Premises liability

Slip-and-fall, inadequate security, dog bites, swimming pool incidents. Recovery depends on the duty owed by the property owner — varies by visitor status.

Product liability

Defective consumer products, recalled vehicles, medical devices. Often involves expert witnesses and multi-jurisdictional issues.

Wrongful death

Surviving family claims after a fatal incident. State-specific statutes govern who can file and what damages are recoverable.

Catastrophic injury

Spinal cord, traumatic brain injury, burns, amputations. Long-tail medical costs and life-care planning are central to the case.

What to expect

Three steps to the right specialist.

  1. Tell us what happened

    A careful AI conversation walks through the facts. What happened, when, where, who was involved, what injuries, what insurance picture. You control how much you share.

  2. We identify the sub-specialty

    Not just "personal injury" — bicycle, trucking, premises, product. Granularity changes who's the right fit.

  3. Warm introduction to the right firm

    We match you to the firm on our bench whose case history fits your sub-type. You're introduced, not handed off. The firm knows about your case before they call.

What matters in your story

What we'll ask about.

  • Where the incident happened — state of injury determines which statute of limitations applies and who's eligible to represent you.
  • When it happened — Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming each have different time limits to file suit; some are as short as two years.
  • What the injuries are and the treatment so far — ER visits, ongoing care, lost wages all matter.
  • The insurance picture — your coverage, the other side's coverage, UM/UIM, health insurance subrogation.
  • Whether you've signed anything or spoken with the other side's adjuster.
  • Any evidence you already have — photos, police report, witness contacts, dashcam footage.
When time matters

Deadlines to know.

Personal injury statutes of limitations are tight in our region. Idaho is two years from the date of injury for most claims, four years for product liability. Utah is four years for most negligence claims but shorter for some specialized cases (one year for defamation-adjacent claims, four years for medical malpractice from date of discovery). Wyoming is four years generally. Cases against government defendants (city, county, state) carry shorter notice requirements — sometimes as short as 60 days. If you suspect a government entity is involved, don't wait.

Common questions

What people ask.

  • Most personal injury attorneys work on contingency — they only get paid if you recover. Standard rates in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming run 33% before suit is filed and 40% after. There's no fee for talking to us or for the introduction.
