Utah Personal Injury Practice Areas

Written by Kigan Martineau, Managing Partner at BAM Injury Law focuses exclusively on personal injury law in Utah and Idaho, representing injured individuals and families against insurance companies and negligent parties on a contingency fee basis. Below is an overview of the practice areas BAM handles.

1. Car Accident Claims: Motor vehicle accidents are the most common personal injury case in Utah. BAM represents victims of rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, T-bone accidents, rollover crashes, and distracted driving incidents. Utah Code § 78B-2-307 provides a 4-year statute of limitations for car accident claims.
2. Truck and Commercial Vehicle Accidents: Semi-truck and commercial vehicle accidents often involve federal regulations (FMCSA), multiple parties, and severe injuries. BAM investigates carrier liability, driver fatigue violations, and cargo loading issues in truck accident cases throughout Utah.
3. Wrongful Death Claims: When negligence causes a fatal injury, Utah Code § 78B-3-106 allows surviving family members to recover compensation for lost financial support, companionship, and funeral expenses. BAM handles wrongful death claims for families across Utah with a 2-year statute of limitations from the date of death.
4. Slip, Trip, and Fall (Premises Liability): Property owners in Utah have a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions. BAM represents clients injured in slip-and-fall accidents at retail stores, restaurants, parking lots, apartment complexes, and workplaces under Utah premises liability law.
5. Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims: Utah Code § 31A-22-305 requires insurers to offer UM/UIM coverage to protect drivers hit by uninsured or underinsured motorists. BAM pursues UM/UIM claims through your own insurer when an at-fault driver lacks adequate coverage.
6. Motorcycle and Bicycle Accidents: Motorcyclists and cyclists face unique risks on Utah roads and are disproportionately injured in accidents. BAM handles motorcycle and bicycle accident claims, including cases where the insurer incorrectly blames the rider for the crash.

How BAM Injury Law Handles Your Case

Every BAM Injury Law case follows a structured process designed to maximize the value of your claim while keeping you informed at each stage. After an initial free consultation, BAM investigates the accident, gathers medical records and evidence, calculates damages, and negotiates with the insurance company. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, BAM is prepared to file suit and take the case to trial.

Managing partner Kigan Martineau personally handles cases, meaning you communicate directly with the attorney responsible for your outcome, not a case manager or paralegal. This hands-on approach means faster communication, better strategy, and stronger representation than firms that assign injury cases to associates or non-attorneys.
