The most common surgeries needed as a result of an automobile accident are spine surgeries. Two million people are permanently injured in automobile accidents each year. Many of them require costly surgery. The problem is that many times automobile insurance is not enough to pay these costs. Health care costs in the United States have increased at an average of twelve percent per year. It is predicted that health care costs will continue to increase more than ten percent for each of the next ten years. In contrast to the increasing health care costs, automobile liability policy minimums have remained constant for over a decade in Utah. Drivers are required to have a minimum of only $25,000.00 of liability insurance on their vehicle. If you or a loved one have been injured in an automobile accident and require surgery, $25,000.00 will not compensate you for that loss. Increasingly, the job of a personal injury attorney is to obtain, not only the benefits available from a defendant’s insurance carrier, but also from your own insurance carrier and to make a determination if there are any other benefits available. Many times, there are health care plans, short and long term disability, Social Security disability and uninsured/underinsured motorist benefits that your personal injury attorney can access to obtain the most favorable outcome for you. The interplay among these parties is very complex. Contrary to television advertisements that would have one believe that personal injury law is akin to winning the lottery, most personal injury attorneys spend considerable time and resources trying to find insurance coverage that will pay for your actual losses.

Here at Aaron J. Prisbrey, P.C., we have been handling these cases for almost fourteen years. We understand that when you undergo surgery there are limited resources. Through our comprehensive program, we make every effort to get full compensation for you from all sources. As surgical costs are increasing and sources of payment are decreasing, Mr. Prisbrey has written several books regarding automobile accident cases. His first book, "Ten Essential Skills Your Injury Attorney Must Have", is available free of charge to Utah accident victims only. (This book can be obtained through the website or calling our automated toll-free number.) The book focuses on some of the complexities of injury cases including what to look for in an experienced personal injury attorney who can maximize the outcome for you in high cost cases, such as when you have undergone surgery. The book is presented in a sometimes humorous, straightforward way. It is a very practical guide for injury accident victims. Mr. Prisbrey’s second book (also available through our website) is "Five Deadly Sins That Can Wreck Your Utah Accident Case". As the title suggests, Mr. Prisbrey provides a detailed analysis as to the things you need to avoid in order to maximize the possibility of a favorable outcome of your Utah auto accident case. He spends an entire chapter focusing on the problem of low coverage limits in cases such as when surgery is needed. Again, these books are available free of charge only to Utah automobile accident victims, and they can be obtained free of charge through the toll-free number or by completing the form on this site.
