If you have suffered burns due to the negligence of someone else, you should be financially compensated for what you have had to endure and any expenses that have resulted.
The best way to proceed with a personal injury claim is to hire a Salt Lake City burn injury lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates to represent you and file a lawsuit on your behalf. This will allow you to preserve your legal rights and to seek compensation while you are still recovering from your injuries.
Valuing Your Claim
Your Salt Lake City burn injury lawyer will be able to properly estimate what your claim is worth. To do so, we will need to review how your injuries have impacted your life. A few of the things we will discuss are as follows:
- Medical Expenses – We will review your medical records and the bills associated with them. We will also speak with your doctor to determine how much care you’re likely to need in the future. This will allow us to determine what your true medical expenses are.
- Lost Income and Wages – If your injuries are so severe that you have been unable to work, you will be entitled to compensation for your lost wages.
- Caregiver Expenses – If you must hire someone to provide at-home care for you, daycare for your children, or even to help around the house because you are physically hindered by your burns, you could be compensated for this expense.
- Pain and Suffering – A severe burn injury is bound to cause you serious pain—both physical and emotional. Although this is a non-economic damage, you can still be compensated for it.
After reviewing all of these items and any additional expenses you have accrued, your Salt Lake City burn injury lawyer will be able to properly value your claim.
Settling Your Case
We will prepare a demand letter and send it to the insurance company. If they agree to the terms, we can settle your case out of court.
If they will not negotiate in good faith, going to court will be in your best interest. Once there, a jury will determine the true value of your claim, and a court-rendered verdict will allow you to receive the monetary compensation necessary to enable your recovery.

Client Reviews
“I was concerned with all the paperwork”
Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"
My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"
I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"
I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"
My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
