Here’s what happens next

Serious injury claims involve long treatment, time away from work, and sometimes permanent changes to how you live. The biggest risk in these cases is settling too early, before anyone knows what future care will cost.

We never rush a serious injury case. We work with your providers to understand your prognosis, and we build the claim around your whole recovery.

Injuries we see

Serious injuries we see include multiple fractures, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, severe burns, internal organ injuries and injuries requiring multiple surgeries. Each one has its own recovery path and its own future costs.

Valuing future care and lost earning capacity

Serious injury claims often need input from treating doctors and, when appropriate, specialists who can explain future surgeries, therapy, equipment, home modifications and care needs. If you can’t return to your job, or can’t work at the same level, reduced earning capacity is part of the claim.

Insurance limits matter, too. When the at-fault party’s policy is too small, we look for every other source: additional policies, employers, property owners, and your own underinsured motorist coverage.

Utah law

Most Utah injury claims must be filed within four years (Utah Code § 78B-2-307). Utah uses modified comparative fault: you recover only if the other side’s combined fault exceeds yours, and your recovery is reduced by your share. At 50% or more you recover nothing (§ 78B-5-818). Claims against a government entity require a written notice of claim within one year (§ 63G-7-402).

Serious injuries such as fractures and permanent impairment generally meet Utah’s PIP threshold for claiming general damages (§ 31A-22-309).

Arizona law

Most Arizona injury claims must be filed within two years (A.R.S. § 12-542). Claims against a public entity require a notice of claim within 180 days and a lawsuit within one year (A.R.S. §§ 12-821.01, 12-821). Arizona uses pure comparative fault: your share of fault reduces your recovery but does not bar it (A.R.S. § 12-2505).

Arizona’s two-year deadline can arrive while you are still in treatment, which is one reason not to wait until you “know more” before calling a lawyer.

How Now Injury Law handles your case

You get a named case manager and a standing response window. When you call, someone picks up. When there’s news, good or bad, you hear it from us first. We get you in front of the right providers quickly, because delayed treatment hurts both your recovery and your claim, and we’ll tell you when treatment is enough.

We handle the letters to the insurance companies, the records requests and the negotiation. If an insurer won’t be reasonable, we’re prepared to file and try the case. Se habla español: our bilingual case managers Jacqueline, Janely and Noelidia work with Spanish-speaking clients in both states.

What to do after

Follow your treatment plan, and keep every appointment.
Keep a simple journal of pain, limits and missed activities.
Save every bill, receipt and explanation of benefits.
Keep records of missed work and any job changes.
Don’t sign releases or accept a settlement before talking to us.

Damages, and the math on your settlement

That’s a fair question: what can be recovered? Economic damages include medical bills (past and future), lost wages, reduced earning capacity, rehabilitation, and property damage. Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Every case is different, and we will never promise you a number.

We tell you when treatment is enough. Running up medical bills does not make a claim stronger, and we will never grow your medical bills to grow our fee. Before you decide on any offer, we show you the math in writing: the gross amount, fees, costs, liens, and what you keep.

Questions

Frequently asked

When should I settle a serious injury case?

Usually not until your doctors can describe your long-term condition. Settling earlier risks leaving future costs uncovered.

What if the insurance limits are too low?

We look for every available policy and responsible party, including your own underinsured motorist coverage.

Can I still work while my case is open?

Yes, if your doctors allow it. We document any reduced hours or lost opportunities.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle, but we prepare every file as if it could be tried.
