Why Hire a Clearfield Personal Injury Lawyer?
If you've been hurt in a crash on I-15, SR-193, Antelope Drive, Legend Hills Drive, and State Street (US-89), or anywhere in the Clearfield area, you're about to fight an insurance company with an entire playbook built to pay you less. They start that playbook the hour of the crash — before you've even seen a doctor. A Clearfield personal injury lawyer changes that math.
LawyerUp is based in Utah and built around a specific problem: most injury firms hand your totaled vehicle off to the adjuster, who then lowballs your car and quietly uses that lowball settlement to weaken your bodily injury claim. We don't. We're Utah's only dual-claim firm — we fight for your full car value and your full injury recovery in one case. Our founding partner Brad DeBry has been doing this since 1996, has tried cases across the state, and holds the state's $58.5M record personal injury verdict.
Clearfield Crashes We Handle Every Week
Clearfield sits in Davis County, with a population of ~32,000. The traffic patterns here mean certain crash types show up over and over in our intake — especially military-commuter crashes at the Hill AFB gates, I-15 collisions at the Clearfield exits, and intersection crashes on State Street.
The highest-volume corridors we see Clearfield cases from are I-15, SR-193, Antelope Drive, Legend Hills Drive, and State Street (US-89), and the hotspot in particular is the SR-193 corridor connecting Hill AFB to I-15 and the State Street (US-89) commercial spine. If you were hit there, we've likely handled something similar within the last 90 days.
Cases we take in Clearfield include:
- Car accidents — rear-ends, left-turn, T-bone, sideswipe, multi-vehicle.
- Commercial truck accidents — FMCSA regulations, driver logs, electronic control module (ECM) data preservation.
- Motorcycle crashes — fighting the anti-rider bias insurers and juries bring to these cases.
- Wrongful death — Utah Code § 78-11-7 survival and wrongful death actions.
- Slip-and-fall / premises liability — duty owed to invitees vs. licensees.
- Dog bites — Utah's strict liability under § 18-1-1 (owner pays regardless of the dog's history).
- Medical malpractice — DOPL prelitigation panel, certificate of merit, 2-year SOL.
- Property damage / diminished value — our in-house specialty.
Utah Law Every Clearfield Injury Victim Should Know
The 4-year Personal Injury Deadline — Utah Code § 78B-2-307
You have four years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit in Utah. Wrongful death is only 2 years. If the at-fault driver was a government employee or the crash involved a government vehicle (UTA, UDOT, Clearfield city), you must file a formal Notice of Claim within 1 year under the Utah Governmental Immunity Act — miss it, and the case is dead no matter how strong the facts.
Utah's No-Fault PIP Rule — Utah Code § 31A-22-307
Utah is a no-fault state. Your own insurer pays the first $3,000 of medical bills plus limited wage-loss and household-service benefits under Personal Injury Protection (PIP) — regardless of who caused the crash. You can only pursue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering after you meet the statutory threshold (medical bills over $3,000, permanent disability, disfigurement, or dismemberment). Insurance adjusters use this threshold to push lowball settlements before your medical bills finish stacking up. We don't let them.
The 50% Comparative Fault Bar — Utah Code § 78B-5-818
Utah uses modified comparative negligence. If you were 49% at fault, you still recover 51% of your damages. If you were 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance adjusters aggressively pad your fault percentage to push you above the 50% bar. A Clearfield injury lawyer fights that with police reports, scene photos, witness statements, dash-cam footage, and — when the dollars justify it — a full accident reconstruction.
Property Damage & Diminished Value
Even after your car is repaired, it's worth less on the used-car market because it now has an accident history. That difference is called diminished value, and Utah law allows you to recover it from the at-fault driver's insurer. Our in-house appraisers are BCAA-certified (through BOCAA — the national certifying body) and produce reports that settle claims without litigation. On total losses, we fight for the full pre-loss market value — not the adjuster's lowball "fair market" number.
