At Flickinger & Sutterfield, P.C., in Provo, Utah, we believe that everyone deserves to have the law on their side. It is not surprising to hear people say that they don't want to make a claim against a negligent party because of a morality concern. However, if you have been injured by another person or corporate entity, they have a moral obligation to be responsible for the full and fair extent of your injuries they have caused, including the dollar value the courts place on your pain and suffering under Utah law. While money damages for pain and suffering is an imperfect way to address the harm someone else's negligence has caused you, it is the best our legal system can do to fully compensate you.
Insurance Companies Are Not Charitable Organizations
Insurance companies are in business to make money. Period. They don't want you to know it, but it's the truth. In fact, most of them make a great deal of money from monthly premiums paid by people just like you; who they hope will never need to file a claim. When a policyholder or injured party files a fair claim, it is usually for exactly the amount of real financial damages. Insurance adjusters know that the amount they offer for a claim is often far less than the client may be entitled to. The insurance company will do everything possible to protect its profits for shareholders 3,000 miles away. How? By denying legitimate claims or trying to settle for substantially less than the actual amount of damages.
Why Hire a Lawyer? Because Justice Is Worth Fighting For.
The fact is, you don't need a lawyer to file an insurance claim. You just need a pen and the insurance forms. The insurance company will be happy to supply both for you. You need a lawyer to protect your rights and financial interests. You have already been victimized once by a negligent party. The last thing you deserve is to be victimized again by a national corporation with billions of dollars in financial assets.
Most of our clients walk through our doors because they feel they have no other choice to protect their finances. Often, individuals feel as if they're backs are against the wall, and they face financial crisis. Most people have strong moral principles and believe that right is right. Most tell us that they never thought they would have to sue anyone — ever. But they find themselves with no other option to protect their rights.
And that is why Flickinger & Sutterfield is here. In a perfect world, nobody would be injured by someone else's negligence or misconduct. Insurance companies would pay quickly and fairly for legitimate claims. Justice would be served and, who knows, maybe lawyers wouldn't be necessary. But until that day arrives, we are here to protect your rights.
