Our Founding Partner Is in The Top 1%
The Million Dollar Advocates Forum is one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States. Membership is limited to attorneys who have secured million-dollar verdicts or settlements — a threshold fewer than 1% of U.S. attorneys ever reach.
When you're up against an insurance company's legal team, experience like this matters.

What We Do for Injured Clients
Most people don't know what a personal injury attorney actually does. Here's exactly how we go to work for you.
Investigate the Accident
We secure the police report, gather evidence, identify witnesses, and pinpoint exactly who's at fault — often catching things the insurance company missed (or hoped you'd miss).
Handle the Insurance Company
You don't take their calls — we do. We know the tactics adjusters use to minimize payouts, and we don't let them work on our clients.
Calculate the Full Value
Most settlement offers cover today's bills — not tomorrow's. We account for future medical care, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and long-term impact.
Negotiate, Settle, or Try It
Most cases settle. But insurance companies pay more to firms that will actually take them to court — and ours will. That's why our results stand up.
Compensation Utah Law Allows
Most injury victims don't know everything they can recover. Depending on your case, that may include:
Categories of Damages
- Medical bills (current & future)
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Physical & occupational therapy
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Long-term or permanent disability
- Property damage (vehicle, personal items)
Utah generally gives you 4 years to file a personal injury claim under Utah Code § 78B-2-307 — but some situations (like government claims under § 63G-7-402) have much shorter deadlines. Waiting can permanently cost you the right to recover.
Meet the Personal Injury Lead
Personal injury cases at our firm are led by our founding partner, with the full support of our five-attorney team.
Benjamin Ruesch
Ben founded the firm in December 2009 and has led its personal injury practice ever since. He has recovered millions in settlements and verdicts for injured clients across Southern Utah, focusing on complex injury claims, insurance disputes, and trial litigation.
His Million Dollar Advocates Forum Life Member status places him in a small circle of U.S. attorneys — fewer than 1% qualify. Ben speaks fluent Spanish and Portuguese and earned his JD cum laude from the University of La Verne College of Law.
Ben leads your case, supported by our full five-attorney firm — providing depth of resources and continuity you can rely on.

Every Day You Wait, the Insurance Company Gets Stronger
Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget details. Medical records get harder to tie to the accident. The sooner you have legal representation, the better your case stands up.
Common Questions About Utah Personal Injury Claims
Do I actually have a case?
Every case is different. If someone else's carelessness caused your injury — a driver, a property owner, a business — you may have a claim under Utah law. The fastest way to know for sure is a short conversation with one of our attorneys. We'll tell you honestly whether we think there's a case worth pursuing.
Should I take the insurance company's first settlement offer?
Usually no. Initial settlement offers are almost always lower than what the claim is actually worth — sometimes much lower. Once you accept, you typically can't go back for more, even if your injuries get worse. Talk to an attorney before you sign anything.
What if the other driver had no insurance — or not enough?
You may still have options through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. We review every policy you have access to and identify all possible sources of compensation, including a strategy called policy stacking in some cases.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Utah?
Utah's standard statute of limitations for personal injury is 4 years from the date of the accident under Utah Code § 78B-2-307. But claims involving government entities have a 1-year notice requirement under § 63G-7-402, and wrongful death claims have a 2-year deadline under § 78B-3-105. Don't assume you have time.
Do I need a lawyer for a "minor" accident?
Even accidents that seem minor can turn into much bigger issues — soft tissue injuries that worsen over weeks, delayed-onset symptoms, or unexpected long-term care needs. A short call costs nothing and tells you whether involving an attorney makes sense.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases resolve through settlement. But we prepare every case as if it will go to trial — and that's actually why we settle for more. Insurance companies pay attention when they know your attorney won't back down.
