Aviation Crash Lawsuits: What You Need to Know
Q: How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Utah?
A: Utah’s statute of limitations for personal injury is generally four years, and two years for wrongful death. Claims involving government entities may have shorter deadlines. Contact us as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
Q: Should I still call an attorney if the NTSB or FAA is investigating?
A: Yes. These investigations don’t focus on compensating victims. You need a private legal advocate to protect your interests.
Q: What if the crash happened outside Utah?
A: We represent Utah residents injured anywhere in the U.S., as well as out-of-state clients injured in Utah aviation incidents.
