Orem Mother and 4 week-old Infant involved in Utah Rollover Car Accident
In the space of 6 months, Hailey was a victim of two different Utah car accidents. The first occurred when she was rear ended by a motorist who was texting. The second automobile accident was much worse. Hailey was t-boned by a teenager who was speeding across traffic lanes. The force of the impact caused Hailey’s Toyota Camry to roll 4 times. Hailey’s four week old infant was in the back seat. To make matters worse, Hailey’s husband was stationed in Iraq. Due to the nature of his deployment, Hailey was not guaranteed frequent contact with her husband. Hailey was on her own to make all the decisions surrounding her infant and her medical treatment and personal injury claims.
Hailey’s first impression of the insurance company was bad. Hailey’s baby girl was still in intensive care when Hailey was being pressured to purchase a new car within two to three days. She wasn’t clear about her policy coverage and she didn’t feel that she was getting straight answers from her insurance adjuster. Hailey needed help and fast. Hailey remembers feeling fearful that being a young mother and without her husband, personal injury lawyers and insurance adjusters may try to take advantage of her. She states, “I had been hit twice by negligent drivers in less than a year. The first law firm I worked with dropped my case because they were afraid it was going to be too difficult to handle both claims. During one of the most stressful times in my life, Kenny Christensen took both my cases and got excellent settlements for me. During the entire process, Mr. Christensen kept me updated and informed about my case. He made himself available to answer my questions and explain my legal options. I was treated like a person. I know that I made the right choice. I highly recommend The Christensen Law Firm.”
Hiring an Experienced Utah Personal Injury Attorney
Despite our attempts to be safe drivers, accidents still happen. Attorney Ken Christensen remembers Hailey’s plight very well. He states, “Hailey was wise to realized that it was not right for her be pressured by her former attorney to settle her first case prematurely.” Mr. Christensen is passionate about fighting for people who might be considered underdogs. If Hailey had listened to her former counsel and complied with their legal advice to drop the case; Hailey would have been in a far worse position. For one, she would be responsible for the additional medical bills she incurred as her personal injury protection benefits were exhausted quickly. The Christensen Law Firm, PLLC, was able to settle both of Hailey’s personal injury claims, made sure all her bills were paid and ensured that her property damage portion of her claim was resolved in a just manner.
