Catastrophic Injury cases in Sandy
Catastrophic injuries — amputations, severe TBIs, paralysis, major burns — happen in Sandy from high-speed crashes on Interstate 15, Interstate 215, and SR-209 (9000 South), construction accidents, and serious premises incidents across Salt Lake County.

The evidence that decides injury claims
- Photos of the hazard and the scene — before it's repaired, cleaned, or melted away.
- An incident report — made to the business or property manager, with a copy or reference number.
- Medical records from day one — gaps in treatment become the insurer's argument.
- Witness names and numbers — collected before everyone scatters.
- What you were wearing — footwear matters in fall cases; keep it unaltered.
- A simple log — symptoms, missed work, and expenses as they happen.
How a participating law firm may review your situation
After you submit a free case review, your request is delivered to a participating Utah law firm — participating firms are paid advertisers, and each firm independently determines whether it can assist you. The firm may contact you to learn more and explain how Utah claims generally work. There is no cost to request a review, and submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
What information to prepare
- The date and location of what happened
- Any report or exchange of information, if you have it
- Photos of the scene, vehicles or equipment, and any injuries
- Names and contact info for any witnesses
- Records of medical treatment you have received
- Insurance or employer information, as applicable
Why quick action matters in Utah
Utah generally allows four years from the date of injury for most personal injury lawsuits — longer than many states — but wrongful death is two years, and claims involving a government entity require a written notice of claim within one year under the Governmental Immunity Act. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.

How is a catastrophic case different from a normal injury case?
