Firm Dossier · Salt Lake City · Published October 25, 2026
Five truck accident firms that take Salt Lake City cases, checked like a hire, not reviewed like a product.
A semi-truck claim in Utah turns on carrier records that can disappear within weeks and on a $3,000 no-fault threshold, so the firm check matters before the first insurer call. Every detail below is tied to the source it came from.

Before you sign: what the numbers mean after a Salt Lake City truck crash
1
1 of 5: firms here publish a no-fee-unless-recovery term on the page we read
Swenson & Shelley Law states clients pay attorney fees only if it recovers compensation. The other four mention a free consultation or case review but do not print fee terms on the truck page, so ask each for the contingency percentage and the cost terms in writing.

$3,000: in medical bills before you can claim pain and suffering in most Utah crashes
Utah is a no-fault state. Your own PIP pays first, and a claim for general damages against the driver or carrier generally needs more than $3,000 in medical expenses, a fracture, or a permanent injury, disfigurement or death. Recovery is also barred unless the defendants’ fault exceeds yours.

$0: what an FMCSA SAFER carrier lookup costs
The USDOT number on the cab door opens the carrier’s federal registration and inspection history in the SAFER system, free. It tells you which company you are dealing with before any adjuster calls, and it is the first record a truck lawyer will ask for.

Swenson & Shelley Law
Drivers who want a Sugar House office and a lead attorney who once defended insurers
Why it made the list
Swenson & Shelley Law keeps its Salt Lake City office at 2150 South 1300 East in Sugar House and publishes a page for Salt Lake City truck accident attorneys that names I-15, I-80 and the I-15/I-80 interchange. The firm states co-founder Kevin Swenson has practiced more than 30 years and represented insurance companies until 2010, when he switched to injured people. Its truck page lists the records it goes after: driver qualification files, electronic logging device data, inspection reports, maintenance files and dispatch information. Co-founder Brian Shelley is licensed in Utah and California, and the firm runs further offices in St. George, Cedar City and Orem.

Your first-call script
QWhich attorney will handle my truck case day to day, and is it run from the Sugar House office?
QHow soon will you send the carrier a preservation letter, and does it cover ELD and dash camera data?
QKevin Swenson defended insurers early in his career; how does that change your approach to the carrier’s adjuster?
From the reviews we read
+ Clear answers from the first call+ Staff keep clients informed+ Organized case handling~ 38 reviews, a modest base
Reviewers on the Salt Lake City profile describe clear answers from the first call, staff who keep them informed, and an attorney who stayed organized through the case. No negative review appeared in the set we read, which is worth weighing against a base of 38 reviews.
Fit and watch-outThe only firm here that prints its fee terms and a Salt Lake County office on the same truck page. The trade-off: the firm runs offices across Utah, Arizona and Idaho, so confirm who works your file locally, and its career and results figures are its own statements.
02
Ben Crump Law, PLLC
Families who want a national firm’s name on a claim and are comfortable with a toll-free intake line
Why it made the list
Ben Crump Law, PLLC is a national injury and civil rights firm with a page for Salt Lake City truck accident lawyers in its areas-we-serve section. The page explains that liability can reach past the driver to the company that owns the truck, and in some cases a government agency, and it walks through how insurance settlement offers should be reviewed before acceptance. It lists a toll-free number and a free consultation. It does not list a Salt Lake City or Utah office address, and we found no Google Business Profile for the firm in Utah, so where a Utah case would be worked is a question for the first call.

Your first-call script
QWhich Utah-licensed attorney would appear for me in Salt Lake County, and is that attorney in your firm or a partner firm?
QWhere would my case be worked day to day, and how would I meet the team in person?
QHow do you split fees if a Utah co-counsel firm is brought in?
From the reviews we read
We found no Google Business Profile for this firm in Utah, so we did not summarize review themes. The firm’s profiles in other states describe a different client base and are not a fair read on a Salt Lake City truck case.
Fit and watch-outA recognizable national name and a page that explains carrier liability plainly. The trade-off: no Utah office or Utah profile we could confirm, so ask who will actually handle the case and whether a local firm is involved.
03
King & Burke, P.C.
Workers hurt in or by a truck on the job who need workers’ comp and a third-party claim together
Why it made the list
King & Burke, P.C. runs its injury website under the name Workers Compensation Utah, and its page for a Salt Lake City truck accident lawyer is written for people hurt while working: drivers, passengers and job-site workers struck by trucks. It points to dump trucks around the Inland Port and airport construction and to delivery trucks on city streets. The firm states it handles both the workers’ compensation claim and any third-party injury claim against another driver or company, and that it has handled these cases for 30 years. The office is on Murray Holladay Road in Holladay, and consultations are free, according to the site.

QI was not on the clock when the truck hit me; do you take non-work truck cases, and how many a year?
QIf I was working, how do you coordinate the workers’ comp claim with the claim against the trucking company?
QWho at the firm handles the third-party truck claim, and does that attorney try cases?
From the reviews we read
+ Plain explanations of the process+ Clients feel protected through the case+ Free guidance even when declining~ 12 reviews, a small base
Reviewers describe an attorney who explains the process in plain terms and makes clients feel protected through a long case, and one notes hours of free guidance even when the firm did not take the matter. The base is 12 reviews, small enough that one bad experience would shift it.
Fit and watch-outA clear choice when the crash happened on the job and both claims need one firm. The trade-off: the truck page is built around workplace injuries, and the website brand differs from the firm name on Google, so confirm the firm handles ordinary motorist truck claims.
04
Mortensen & Milne
Catastrophic or fatal commercial vehicle cases where trial preparation and product defects may matter
Why it made the list
Mortensen & Milne is based on Main Street in downtown Salt Lake City and publishes a page for truck and commercial vehicle accident lawyers in Salt Lake City. It covers semi-truck and 18-wheeler crashes, delivery and fleet vehicles, buses and passenger carriers, maintenance failures and underride crashes involving missing or faulty guards. The firm states it represents only victims, never trucking companies, and that it prepares every case for trial. Its wider practice includes wrongful death and defective product claims, which can matter when a truck crash involves a failed part. The site offers a free case review and lists verdicts it reports, which are its own figures.

QWhich attorney would handle my truck case, and has that attorney tried a commercial vehicle case to verdict?
QDo you look at underride guards and truck parts for a product claim in addition to the driver and carrier?
QWhat is your contingency percentage, and how are reconstruction and other case costs handled if we lose?
From the reviews we read
+ Steady communication+ Quick answers to questions+ Care with child and family cases~ 33 reviews
Reviewers describe steady communication, quick answers to questions and careful handling of cases involving children and older family members, with several naming the attorney who handled their file. No negative review appeared in the set we read, against a base of 33.
Fit and watch-outStrong fit for the most serious crashes, where a trial-ready posture and product claims can change the outcome. The trade-off: fee terms are not on the truck page, and the reported verdicts are the firm’s own figures from other cases.

True North Injury Law
Crashes with delivery, garbage, tow or rental trucks rather than long-haul semis
Why it made the list
True North Injury Law lists a downtown Salt Lake City office on South Main Street on Google, while its main truck accident lawyer page is written for South Jordan and the southern valley. What sets it apart is the set of separate pages for smaller commercial trucks: delivery trucks, garbage trucks, construction trucks, tow trucks, U-Haul rentals and FedEx, UPS and Amazon vehicles. The firm states it has about 10 years of experience and works with accident reconstruction specialists on truck cases. It invites readers to schedule a consultation but does not publish fee terms on the truck page.

Your first-call script
QWhich office would I meet in, the downtown Salt Lake City address or South Jordan?
QHow many delivery or rental truck cases have you handled, and who was the defendant in those?
QWhat is your fee percentage, and what costs come out of a settlement?
From the reviews we read
+ Regular case updates+ Attorney who listens closely+ Kind front-desk staff~ Nine reviews, the smallest base
Reviewers describe regular case updates, an attorney who listened closely and front-desk staff who were kind on the phone, and one fellow injury lawyer vouches for the lead attorney. The base is nine reviews, the smallest here.
Fit and watch-outUseful when the truck was a delivery van, garbage truck or rental rather than a tractor-trailer. The trade-off: the main truck page targets South Jordan, fee terms are not published, and the review base is the smallest in this group.
04
Six things to settle before you sign with any truck accident firm
Fee agreement in writing. Get the contingency percentage, whether it rises if a lawsuit is filed, and how case costs are paid if there is no recovery, all in the signed agreement.
Named handling attorney. Write down which Utah-licensed attorney will run the case day to day and who covers it when that attorney is in trial.
Preservation letter timing. Ask when the firm will send the carrier a written demand to keep ELD data, dash camera video, driver files and maintenance records.
PIP and threshold plan. Ask how the firm will handle your own PIP claim and how it will document whether your injury clears Utah’s $3,000 threshold.
Work claim coordination. If you were on the job, confirm the firm will coordinate the workers’ compensation claim with any claim against the trucking company.
License check. Look up the handling attorney in the Utah State Bar Licensee Directory before you sign.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in Utah?
+
Most Utah personal injury lawsuits must be filed within four years, and wrongful death claims generally within two years. Crashes with a city, county, state or UTA vehicle need a written notice of claim within one year.
Can I sue the trucking company after a Salt Lake City crash?
+
Your PIP coverage pays first. You can generally claim pain and suffering from the driver or carrier if medical expenses exceed $3,000 or you suffer a fracture, permanent injury, disfigurement or death, and only if their fault is greater than yours.
Which firm on this list publishes its fee terms?
+
Swenson & Shelley Law states clients pay attorney fees only if it recovers compensation. The other four offer a free consultation or case review but do not print fee terms on the pages we read.
Which firm here focuses on workers hurt by trucks on the job?
+
King & Burke, P.C., through its Workers Compensation Utah site, handles workers’ compensation and third-party claims together for workers injured in truck crashes.
Where is the Salt Lake City office of Swenson & Shelley Law?
+
Swenson & Shelley Law lists its Salt Lake City office at 2150 South 1300 East, Suite 530, Salt Lake City, UT 84106, with the phone number (801) 447-5464.
Does the order of this list mean one firm is better?
+
No. Swenson & Shelley Law holds the first slot as a paid placement, and the order of the other four is not a ranking. Compare firms on the questions above before deciding.

Method and sources
How we checked these firms+
This is a shortlist of five law firms with truck accident pages that serve Salt Lake City, not a ranking. For each one we read the page supplied and the firm’s own site for office, phone, truck focus, fee terms and named attorneys, then checked its Google Business Profile for address, phone and review count, and read the review text itself.
Where a firm publishes a result, a career figure or a claim about its clients, we say it is the firm’s own statement. Where two sources disagree, or we could not confirm something, we say so in the entry. The Utah rule summaries come from the Utah Code itself.
