Attorney Advertising Disclosure
Some law firm listings on this page are paid advertisements. Compensation affects where and how law firms appear, including order of appearance.
How Law Firms Appear
“Best,” “Top-rated,” and “Top” describe the order of our listings: law firms that pay for placement, including Verified firms, appear first. On our directory pages, other firms are ordered by their reviews. See How Listings Are Ordered.
Law firms labeled as “Verified” participate in Elite Litigators’ Verified Program, which is an attorney advertising program and includes compensation for advertising or enhanced placement. See our Verified Program Disclosure.
Elite Litigators displays a Verified badge next to these law firms. Badges are not displayed for law firms that are not Verified.
Inclusion, labeling, placement, or participation in any Elite Litigators program does not constitute and does not imply an endorsement, recommendation, guarantee of results, or that the quality of legal services provided by any law firm is greater than that of other lawyers or law firms.
Displayed numerical scores are proprietary ratings calculated by Elite Litigators based on aggregate consumer feedback, including publicly available reviews, client reviews submitted to our platform, professional milestones such as experience and case results, and qualitative factors evaluated under our proprietary methodology. Ratings do not guarantee a specific outcome for your case, nor do they imply that a firm’s services are superior to those of others with different ratings or law firms not rated.
Elite Litigators’ ratings are calculated on a state specific basis, meaning a law firm’s score may differ from state to state. With the exception of Southern California and Upstate New York, which are treated as separate rating jurisdictions, ratings are calculated at the state level and are comparative to and influenced by other law firms evaluated within that same jurisdiction. Ratings are not calculated at the city or metropolitan level, and firms operating in multiple cities within a state are evaluated using data aggregated at the state level.
Elite Litigators assigns ratings only to law firms participating in its Verified Program. Law firms that are not verified may appear on the platform but are not rated.
Reviews and ratings are two distinct measures on this platform. Reviews are an automated average of client feedback and third-party review data, shown for all listed law firms whether or not they participate in advertising. Ratings are the numerical scores described above; they are shown only on certain pages and only for law firms participating in Elite Litigators’ Verified Program.

Elite Litigators is a legal marketing platform owned and operated by Elite Litigators Inc., a Georgia corporation, and its affiliates where applicable, and provides attorney advertising and informational content, not legal advice. Elite Litigators does not operate a lawyer referral service.
Attorneys listed in specific practice area sections are not certified as specialists or experts in any legal practice area unless specifically stated and certified by an ABA-accredited organization authorized by their jurisdiction.
No case outcomes are guaranteed. Results vary depending on the facts of each individual case, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
References on this website to ‘No Win, No Fee,’ ‘Don’t Pay Unless You Win,’ or similar terms are intended as general explanations of contingency fee arrangements. The specific terms offered by any individual law firm may differ. Although many contingency fee agreements provide that no attorney’s fees are owed unless compensation is recovered, some agreements may require clients to pay certain litigation expenses or case costs even if no recovery is obtained. Attorney’s fees, litigation costs, and client responsibilities are governed by the written agreement between you and the law firm you choose to hire. Each law firm independently determines its own fee structure and representation terms. You should carefully review the law firm’s engagement agreement and discuss any questions directly with the attorney before hiring them.

The results achieved in any particular case depend on the unique facts, circumstances, evidence, applicable law, and numerous other factors. Every legal matter is different, and no case outcome is guaranteed. Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome, and you should not expect to obtain the same results in your own case. Any recovery you may receive will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of your case and the law firm you choose to represent you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wrongful Death in Utah
What is a wrongful death claim?
A wrongful death claim is a legal action pursued when a person's death is caused by the negligence, misconduct, or wrongful act of another individual, company, or entity.
Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit?
Typically, immediate family members such as spouses, children, or parents of the deceased can file a wrongful death lawsuit. In some cases, other dependents or representatives of the estate may be eligible to file as well.
What damages can be sought in a wrongful death case?
Damages that can be sought in a wrongful death case may include medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, loss of future income, loss of companionship, and emotional pain and suffering.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit?
The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit varies by jurisdiction. It's essential to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure compliance with the applicable deadlines.
How can a wrongful death attorney in Utah help me?
A wrongful death attorney in Utah can provide guidance, investigate the circumstances of the death, gather evidence, establish liability, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent your interests in court if necessary.
What is the burden of proof in a wrongful death case?
The burden of proof in a wrongful death case typically requires demonstrating that the defendant's negligence or intentional misconduct directly caused the death, and that the death has resulted in damages.
Can criminal charges be pursued alongside a wrongful death claim?
Yes, in some cases, if the actions leading to the death involve criminal behavior, such as homicide or manslaughter, criminal charges may be pursued separately from a wrongful death claim.
How long does a wrongful death lawsuit in Utah take to resolve?
The timeline for resolving a wrongful death lawsuit in Utah can vary widely depending on various factors, including the complexity of the case, negotiation efforts, and court availability. It may take months to several years to reach a resolution.
What is the difference between a wrongful death claim and a survival action?
While a wrongful death claim seeks damages on behalf of the surviving family members for their losses, a survival action is brought on behalf of the deceased person's estate to recover damages that the deceased would have been entitled to if they had survived, such as medical expenses or pain and suffering.
What does the Verified badge mean?
Verified means a law firm participates in Elite Litigators' Verified Program, a paid advertising program. Verified law firms are listed ahead of non-Verified law firms in search results. Verified status is not a recommendation, an endorsement, or an evaluation of a firm's abilities by Elite Litigators. Learn more about the Verified Program.
