If you’ve been injured in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, we understand how overwhelming this situation can be. At Salt Lake Injury Law, our dedicated team is ready to handle your claim from start to finish, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—your recovery.
How We Can Support You
Thorough Investigation
We begin by thoroughly investigating your case. This includes gathering crucial evidence like accident reports, photos of the scene, and medical records. Preserving this evidence is vital for building a strong case and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Utah’s DUI Laws
In Utah, drivers with a blood alcohol content (BAC) over 0.05% are legally prohibited from driving. We also recognize that other parties may be responsible, such as establishments that serve alcohol to minors or visibly intoxicated individuals. Under Utah’s dram shop law, these vendors can share liability if their actions contributed to the accident.
Common Injuries from DUI Accidents
DUI accidents can lead to severe injuries, and it’s essential to seek medical attention immediately. Here are some injuries that can occur in such an accident:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Symptoms like confusion, dizziness, or persistent headaches after an accident could indicate a TBI. Early treatment is crucial to prevent long-term issues.
Broken Bones: From hairline fractures to complete breaks, injuries of this kind often require medical intervention for proper healing. Recovery can be lengthy and may affect your ability to work.
Crush Injuries: These injuries occur when the body is trapped in the vehicle and can cause significant damage, including broken bones and internal injuries.
Burns: Car accidents can result in fires, leading to burns or smoke inhalation injuries. These can range from minor to severe and may require extensive medical treatment.
We’re Here to Fight for You
Proving that your injuries are due to the at-fault party’s negligence can be challenging, but it’s easier in DUI cases where police test the driver’s BAC.

We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay us unless we win your case. Plus, we offer free case consultations. During this time, we can discuss your options and what steps to take next.
