How do I know if what happened to me is really medical malpractice or just a bad outcome?
This is the question we hear most often, and it is exactly the right one to ask. A bad outcome is not automatically malpractice. The legal question is whether your provider's conduct fell below the standard of care — and that determination requires a review of your medical records by a qualified expert in the relevant specialty. We conduct that review as part of our case evaluation so you have a real answer before you commit to anythin
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Utah?
Utah's statute of limitations for medical malpractice is generally two years from the date of the negligent act or the date you discovered the harm, whichever is later, with an absolute outer limit of four years from the date of the act. This is shorter than Utah's general personal injury window. If you are uncertain whether your deadline has passed, contact us immediately — we confirm this during a free consultation.

We handle medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover on your behalf. There are no
Can I sue a hospital, not just the individual doctor?
Yes. Hospitals can be held liable for negligence by their employed staff, for systemic failures in care protocols, and for negligent credentialing of physicians they allow to practice on their premises. Whether liability rests with an individual provider, the institution, or both depends on the facts of your case — which is part of what we assess during our evaluation.
What if I am not sure I have enough evidence to pursue a case?
You do not need to arrive with evidence in hand. We obtain and review your medical records, engage expert witnesses, and build the factual record. Your role is to tell us what happened and to give us the authorization to investigate. We take it from there.
Do you handle medical malpractice cases outside of Davis County?
Yes. We represent clients across Northern Utah, including Weber County and Salt Lake City, and we handle cases statewide. If the negligence occurred in Utah, we can evaluate your claim regardless of where you are located.
