PERSONAL INJURY & PROPERTY LOSS

PRACTICE AREA / UTAH PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

Positioned to represent plaintiffs and defendants in personal injury and subrogation property loss claims, we welcome inquiries from accident victims who have suffered serious injuries in catastrophic or life-threatening accidents as well as businesses seeking personal injury liability protection.

Successful and experienced personal injury and subrogation property loss attorneys, who know how to win both plaintiffs’ and defendants’ cases, have a unique advantage in representing clients who file a claim. Those attorneys know how and why cases settle quickly, and which cases must be tried. They know how to provide what the insurance company or claims evaluator needs at the beginning of the case, and how to present that information at the right time to create the best chance of an early settlement.

Lawyers of Richards Brandt represent individuals in personal injury cases involving serious and objective injuries, including wrongful death, spinal cord injuries, quadriplegia and paraplegia, brain injuries, high-loss property damage, and other catastrophic injuries.

SUBROGATION

Subrogation is relevant in the insurance industry. Simply put, one person, the insurer, makes a payment on an obligation that is the primary responsibility of another party, the insured. An example might be, your toaster oven catches fire and burns your house or business down. The insurance company would make payments under the policy, but would ultimately recover the damages from the manufacturer of the toaster. Our attorneys represent the insurance carrier and the insured in this case.

Property loss sometimes results in insurance litigation. Working with trial attorneys is critical in finding the most favorable outcome in any litigation situation.

In the process of documenting lost or damaged items, identifying what repairs may be needed, securing estimates to repair or replace property, etc., you have to be careful about agreeing to settlements or cashing checks from your insurance carrier.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS & CORPORATE GOVERNANCE / FEATURED FAQS

Answered by:

A: To decide which entity is right for you, we look at: liability, taxation, and maintenance. Both corporations and LLC’s have limited personal liability—this means that owners are usually not responsible for business debts. However, corporations and LLC’s are taxed very differently—corporations are classified as a separate taxable entity, whereas LLC’s are typically taxed as a pass-through entity (unless you choose otherwise). And corporations and LLC’s have different levels of maintenance—LLC’s have fewer reporting requirements and can operate solely with members acting as the managers. Conversely, corporations are required to hold certain annual meetings, keep certain records, and appoint boards and officers to manage the company for the stockholders. Every situation is unique so we recommend that you consult with an attorney in making your decision. Contact our firm, Richards Brandt, if we can help you decide which entity is right for you.
