Why Hire Our Personal Injury Attorneys in Salt Lake City, Utah?
Choosing among the many personal injury attorneys in Salt Lake City can be a difficult endeavor, particularly when you or a family member is suffering the consequences of a serious injury. Factors you should take into consideration before selecting a lawyer to represent you include:
1. Does the attorney have a successful track record of big wins in the courtroom and in settlement negotiations?
The key to obtaining the maximum recovery for your claim is the skill and experience of your lawyer. A history of success in the courtroom is the best assurance that your attorney has what it takes to prepare your case properly and win a big verdict at trial. If your lawyer has a reputation of large wins at trial, this track record serves as a major factor in getting your case settled favorably.
Our personal injury attorneys in Salt Lake City, Utah recently won the largest personal injury verdict in Utah history — a $16.4 million dollar jury award - on behalf of a client who was involved in a truck accident. Our attorneys also won a $7 million dollar verdict in a product liability case against General Motors, and have recovered numerous six- and seven-figure awards and settlements for our clients. The results produced by our personal injury attorneys demonstrate that we have the skills and experience necessary to get you results in your case.
2. Does the personal injury attorney work on a limited number of cases?
Many personal injury attorneys advertise throughout Salt Lake City, Utah in an attempt to increase their sphere of business. But they end up having to take on hundreds of cases at once to pay the high costs of television and radio advertising. With more cases than they can reasonably handle, they often push their clients to settle quickly for less money than their case is worth.
At Eisenberg & Gilchrist, we limit the number of cases handled by our lawyers and only take on those involving a permanent personal injury or death. Our attorneys do not advertise on television or radio in or around Salt Lake City, so we do not have big advertising expenses to cover. We devote a tremendous amount of personal attention to every one of our cases, spending the time and money necessary to secure the maximum value for each one. We aggressively pursue our clients' interests and will never encourage you to settle your case for less than its full value.
3. Does the attorney have the financial and staffing resources to take on the big insurance companies?
Prosecuting a personal injury case can be a very expensive process. Attorneys must have the financial assets to cover all the up-front costs involved in implementing a case from start to finish. Insurance companies throughout Utah and elsewhere have huge financial and staffing resources that they use to strengthen their efforts. An insurance company involved in a workers' compensation, medical malpractice, or other personal injury case will often try to force their opponents to settle cheaply by making the process of litigation too expensive and complicated for a plaintiff and their attorney.
At Eisenberg & Gilchrist, we have the financial resources and manpower to take on the big insurance companies, no matter how much time and money is required. It is not unusual for us to spend more than $100,000 out of our own pockets to finance a case to ensure that the client's interests are properly represented. In addition, we have formed an alliance with the California law firm of Brayton Purcell, one of the most renowned personal injury firms in the western United States. The combined resources of our two firms guarantee that no case is ever too large or expensive for us to handle. Our personal injury attorneys will never settle your case for less than its full value, regardless of the costs involved.
If you have sustained an injury due to the negligence or misbehavior of someone else, please contact our personal injury attorneys in Salt Lake City, Utah at Eisenberg & Gilchrist. We will evaluate your case for free and inform you regarding your right to compensation.
