Let me say what a long four year road this has been for myself and my family. After many failed attempts at finding a adequate lawyer, we found Ben through a great friend. After hearing what we ( I ) had been through over the past years, Ben took the reigns and new what he had to do. I was worried at first having had much bad luck in the past. Ben finally gained my trust. I can not begin to express how much this man cares and does have all his clients best...
Almost immediately upon meeting Ben we knew he was “our guy”. As we got to know him his friendly and compassionate demeanor is the real deal. Do not let that fool you either because Ben is like a “lion” protecting his brood when it came to working for my case. He is knowledgeable, professional and will work and work to get you what your case deserves. His persistence paid off and he was able to recover my full policy amount for cove...
Before hiring Mr. Cloward, I struggled to find an attorney whom I felt I could trust. He was referred to me through a friend of a friend. Mr. Cloward provided the support and trust needed when hiring an attorney. He thoroughly explained every step of the way in laymen’s terms so that I understood. He looked at all angles of the case and made sure that I was being taken care of throughout the process. Lawsuits can make a person feel exposed and vulner...
Benjamin P. Cloward- An attorney who is patient, accessible, down to earth, trustworthy, assertive, knowledgeable, and really went out of his way to help/assist me. Mr. Cloward took the time to guide me. I can’t praise his professional conduct enough. He was a lifesaver. Thank you so much for your time and attention to my spouse’s legal matter, Ben. I certainly will refer friends (and my own clients) to you in the future. With sincere appreciat...
From my initial meeting with Benjamin Cloward I was impressed. My case had an added factor, as it occured out of state. His questions with regard to the facts of the accident were things I had never considered. I was very little help with the case as I had, and still have no memory of the accident (head trauma). Ben and his team navigated through the complexities of the case, acquiring all the information they could from out of state sources. When I called...
Our firm has extensive experience handling all types of personal injury cases. Every injury is different, and each case requires a tailored legal strategy to achieve the best outcome.
A personal injury claim is a legal process that allows you to seek compensation for injuries and damages caused by someone else’s actions or negligence. The goal is to restore you to the position you were in before the injury, as much as possible, by recovering damages for medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and more.
Car accidents are one of the leading causes of injury in Utah. Victims often suffer from physical injuries, property damage, and emotional distress. Common scenarios we handle include:
The Utah Department of Health identifies distracted driving as a major contributor to collisions. We help accident victims navigate Utah’s no-fault insurance system and pursue claims against at-fault drivers for serious injuries.
Dog attacks can cause physical injuries like deep lacerations, scarring, and infections, as well as emotional trauma that may linger long after the physical wounds have healed. Under Utah’s strict liability dog bite law, owners are generally held responsible for any injuries caused by their dog, regardless of the animal’s history of aggression. These cases often require careful documentation of the attack, including medical records and witness statements.
Slip and fall accidents are often caused by hazardous property conditions, such as icy sidewalks, wet floors, or poorly lit stairways. Victims may suffer serious injuries like broken bones, head trauma, or spinal damage. Property owners are legally required to maintain safe premises for visitors, and failure to do so can result in liability.
Our team investigates slip and fall cases thoroughly, gathering evidence such as maintenance logs, surveillance footage, and eyewitness testimony to prove negligence.
When defective or unsafe products cause injuries, manufacturers, distributors, or retailers can be held responsible. Product liability cases often involve complex legal theories, such as:
Examples include defective medical devices, malfunctioning vehicle parts, and contaminated food products. These cases require detailed investigations, expert analysis, and knowledge of product liability law.
Brain injuries are among the most serious and life-altering injuries a person can experience. Victims may face cognitive challenges, memory loss, and changes in personality or mood. According to the CDC, traumatic brain injuries are most commonly caused by falls and motor vehicle accidents.
These cases often require expert testimony from neurologists, economists, and vocational specialists to calculate both immediate and long-term damages.
Spinal cord injuries can result in partial or total paralysis, chronic pain, and reduced mobility. These cases often involve catastrophic injuries that require significant compensation to cover medical expenses, home modifications, and long-term care.
A wrongful death claim seeks justice for families who have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence. These cases aim to provide financial relief for funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering. While no amount of compensation can replace your loved one, holding the responsible party accountable can provide a sense of closure and justice.
Utah top rated attorneys
Utah experiences a significant number of personal injuries each year, many of which are preventable. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, unintentional injuries remain a leading cause of death and hospitalization across the United States, accounting for 24.8 million emergency department visits annually. In Utah, similar trends are observed, with motor vehicle accidents, falls, and workplace incidents among the top contributors to injury-related hospitalizations and fatalities.
For example, falls are a leading cause of non-fatal injuries in the state, disproportionately affecting older adults and children. In 2020, falls alone were responsible for 7,500 hospitalizations in Utah, many of which could have been prevented through proper safety measures. Similarly, motor vehicle accidents cause hundreds of fatalities and thousands of injuries each year, with distracted driving, speeding, and impaired driving as the primary culprits.
By identifying the root causes of accidents, we not only help victims recover compensation but also advocate for safer policies and practices to prevent future injuries. We believe in holding negligent parties accountable and pushing for systemic changes that reduce these risks, from promoting safer workplace standards to supporting stricter product safety regulations.
If you’ve been injured in an accident, taking the following steps can significantly improve your chances of recovering fair compensation:
By following these steps, you give yourself the best chance of building a strong case and recovering the compensation you deserve.
Victims of personal injuries are entitled to various forms of compensation depending on the circumstances of their case.
Compensation for medical expenses includes coverage for:
In addition to past medical expenses, victims may also recover compensation for future medical needs. For example, someone who suffers a spinal cord injury may require ongoing treatments, home healthcare, or prescription medication for years. By consulting with medical experts, we calculate these anticipated costs to ensure you are not left financially burdened.
If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to recover:
Non-economic damages compensate for the physical and emotional toll of your injuries. These are often subjective but can be significant.
By carefully documenting your injuries and working with medical and psychological experts, we ensure that your claim accurately reflects the full scope of your suffering.
In accidents involving personal property, such as vehicle collisions, you can seek compensation for repairs or replacement costs. For example, if your car is totaled in a crash, the at-fault driver’s insurance should cover the value of the vehicle. In addition to vehicles, property damage claims can include items like bicycles, smartphones, or other personal belongings damaged during the incident.
Our goal is to ensure that every aspect of your losses—both financial and emotional—is accounted for when calculating your settlement or award.

Most personal injury lawyers in Utah work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Typically, lawyers take 33% to 40% of the settlement or award. The exact percentage depends on factors such as whether your case settles quickly or goes to trial, which often requires more extensive work. This arrangement eliminates upfront costs for clients, making legal representation accessible. Be sure to discuss the percentage and any additional costs with your attorney before signing a contract.
In Utah, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is four years from the date of the injury. This means you must file a lawsuit within that time to seek compensation. Exceptions apply in cases involving minors or government entities. For instance, claims against the government may need to be filed within one year. If injuries were discovered later (e.g., delayed symptoms from medical malpractice), the time frame might start from the date of discovery. Acting quickly ensures your rights are protected.
Yes, Utah law requires all drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. PIP is part of Utah’s no-fault insurance system and covers medical expenses, lost wages, and other related costs, regardless of who caused the accident. The minimum required PIP coverage in Utah is $3,000 per person, but additional coverage can be purchased for greater protection. While PIP covers initial medical costs, serious injuries exceeding this amount may allow you to file a claim against the at-fault driver for further compensation.
