When someone dies because of another person's or company's negligence, Utah law allows surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death claim. These cases are among the most serious we handle — and we approach them with the gravity and care they demand. Our goal is to hold the responsible party fully accountable and obtain every dollar of compensation the law provides for your family's loss.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Utah?
Utah's wrongful death statute allows a personal representative of the estate to bring the claim on behalf of surviving heirs — typically a spouse, children, or parents of the deceased. We assist families in establishing the proper legal representative and structuring the claim to include all available damages.
Damages in a Wrongful Death Case
Recoverable damages include: medical expenses incurred before death, funeral and burial expenses, lost wages and future earning capacity, loss of companionship and consortium, and pain and suffering experienced by the deceased before death. We work with economic experts and grief counselors to put a full and fair dollar value on your family's loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in Utah?
Utah's statute of limitations for wrongful death is generally two years from the date of death. Claims against government entities have shorter deadlines. Do not wait — evidence is preserved and cases are built most effectively when started early.
