Fighting for Justice in the Heart of Utah County: Your Dedicated Provo Personal Injury Team

Provo is named after a French-Canadian Trapper. Established in 1849, Provo is over 170 years old. Over the years, Provo has transformed into the third-largest city in Utah. Today, Provo is a bustling city located about 45 miles south of Utah’s capital, Salt Lake City. Provo is home to Brigham Young University and several scenic sights such as Bridal Veil Falls, Mount Timpanogos, and the Timpanogos Cave National Monument.

It’s no wonder Provo was ranked the second-greatest place to live in America. For the most part, Provo is a very safe city: it’s estimated that Provo is safer than 35% of cities. However, since Provo is so large, the rates of violent crime differ dramatically.

In some parts of Provo, the chances of a violent crime occurring are 1 in 657. Yet in other places, it can be as high as 1 in 164. Therefore, our mission is to protect those who have been injured and keep the communities around us safe.

Whether you were involved in a multi-car pileup near the University Avenue exit on I-15 or a pedestrian accident near the BYU campus, Moxie Law Group understands the unique traffic patterns and legal landscape of Provo.

Navigating Provo’s Busiest Intersections Provo is a vibrant, growing hub, but with that growth comes increased risk on our roads. We see frequent accidents at high-traffic areas such as:

• University Parkway & State Street: A hotspot for commuter fender-benders.
• The I-15 “Provo Segment”: Where heavy construction and merging traffic often lead to high-speed rear-end collisions.
• Bulldog Blvd & 500 West: Areas with high foot traffic from students and local residents where pedestrian safety is a constant concern.

Provo is unique because of its large student population (BYU) and outdoor tourism (Bridal Veil Falls/Provo Canyon).

• For Students: We understand the complexities of being injured while away from home, dealing with student insurance, and loss of educational time.
• For Outdoor Enthusiasts: Injuries sustained near Provo Canyon or Utah Lake require a firm that understands premises liability and recreational vehicle accidents.

Provo Personal Injury Attorneys to the Rescue

There are many ways people become injured in Provo. Many times, these accidents are caused by the negligent, or carelessness, actions or inactions of another person. When that is the case, injured individuals can file an injury claim against the negligent party to recover financial compensation for their hospital expenses, pain and suffering, and more.

The type of claim you file will depend on the type of accident you were involved in. Our skilled Provo personal injury lawyers have extensive experience handling many different types of claims, including motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, workplace accidents, product liability, dog bites, medical malpractice, and more.

If your case goes to trial, it will likely be heard at the Provo Fourth District Court on Freedom Blvd. Our attorneys are familiar with local court procedures and the specific nuances of Utah County juries. We don’t just know Utah law; we know how it’s applied right here in Provo.

What Does a Provo Personal Injury Attorney Do?

A Provo personal injury attorney works with personal injury victims of medical malpractice, wrongful death, motor vehicle accidents, and other types of accidents, to get the injured party monetary compensation for their injuries. When a person is injured in a car accident that wasn’t their fault, they’re going to need medical treatment. Some car accidents may result in broken bones, whereas other car accidents result in more severe injuries.

These severe injuries may include spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, and other catastrophic injuries. The insurance company may offer you a settlement but, since the insurance company isn’t always looking out for your best interests, insurance claims aren’t always enough to cover the injured party’s medical bills or future expenses that are a result of the injury.

Personal Injury Attorneys Level the Playing Field

Imagine this: you’re involved in an auto accident where the at-fault party is drunk. You’ve been severely injured due to someone else’s negligence. Everyone knows drunk driving is bad, including the at-fault party, yet they still chose to drive under the influence and now you’ve got hospital bills, lost wages, and plenty of other damages.

If the attorney doesn’t have a good understanding of the legal system, especially personal injury, and Utah law, the injured party may be stuck dealing with all these expenses by themselves.

You Need an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer

No two cases are alike. In order to win your personal injury case, you need an attorney that has a deep understanding of Utah and personal injury law. At Moxie Law Group, our attorneys have handled a wide variety of injury cases. And we’ve got the experience necessary to handle your personal injury case too.

However, it’s important to us that victims of negligence are treated fairly by insurance companies. If you’ve sustained injury due to the conduct of a negligent person, the legal team at Moxie Law Group is here for you. Though most personal injury cases don’t go to trial, our law firm isn’t afraid to go to court.

In fact, insurance carriers know us as the law firm that isn’t afraid of a personal injury lawsuit.

Damages Available

Regardless of whether you were injured in a slip and fall, or have to file a lawsuit after a car crash, you can claim compensation for your injuries. The compensation you receive is intended to restore your health and make you as whole again as possible. The bulk of the compensation awarded in personal injury claims is known as special damages, also known as economic damages.

These damages have an actual dollar value, so they are fairly easy to calculate. The most common special damages in injury claims are as follows:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Loss of earning capacity
• Property loss
• Loss of household services

Not all losses sustained in an accident have a concrete dollar value, but they are still losses you deserve compensation for. Damages for these losses are known as non-economic damages or general damages. The most common general damages are as follows:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment
• Loss of consortium
• Disfigurement

In very rare cases, punitive damages are also sometimes awarded. Punitive damages are not meant to compensate you or make you whole again. The sole purpose of these damages is to punish the negligent party.

Punitive damages are rarely awarded in Utah, but they may be available if the defendant acted with gross negligence or extreme misconduct. If you are awarded punitive damages, you will receive the whole of the first $50,000. Any damages awarded in excess of that are split between you and the state, making Utah’s law on punitive damages unique from many other states.

The Statute of Limitations For a Personal Injury Claim

Like other states, all personal injury claims in Utah are subject to the statute of limitations. This is a time limit on your claim. To successfully recover damages after an accident, you must file your claim within four years of the accident.

If you do not file your claim within that time, the insurance companies and the courts will likely throw out your claim and you will lose your legal right to claim compensation now, and in the future.

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim in Provo?

If you have sustained an injury due to the negligence or intentional actions of another party, you likely have a valid claim. In Provo, this often involves car accidents on University Avenue, pedestrian incidents near BYU campus, or workplace injuries. To win a case, we must prove that the other party had a responsibility to act safely, failed to do so, and directly caused your injuries. A free consultation with our legal team can help clarify the specifics of your situation.

What types of compensation can I seek in a Provo personal injury case?

Victims in Utah are entitled to seek both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover tangible financial losses such as hospital bills, future medical expenses, and lost wages if you are unable to work. Non-economic damages compensate you for intangible losses like pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and a decreased quality of life. Our goal is to ensure your settlement reflects the full extent of your physical and emotional recovery needs.

What is the statute of limitations for filing an injury claim in Utah?

In Utah, the general statute of limitations for personal injury is four years from the date of the accident. However, certain circumstances can drastically shorten this window. For instance, if your claim involves a government entity, such as a city-owned vehicle or a dangerous condition on public property in Provo, you may have as little as one year to file a formal notice of claim. Waiting too long can result in the loss of your right to compensation.

Will I have to go to court for my personal injury case?

Most personal injury cases are settled out of court through aggressive negotiation with insurance companies. However, if the insurance provider refuses to offer a fair settlement that covers your total damages, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial. Having a dedicated legal team ensures that the insurance companies take your claim seriously from the very beginning.

Why should I choose Moxie Law Group for my Provo injury case?
