Top 5 Truck Accident Attorneys in Salt Lake City, UT (2026)

Attorney Dossier · Salt Lake City · October 2026

Five firms that take Salt Lake City truck crash cases, checked on office, fees, published results and reviews.

A semi crash case is decided by records the carrier controls, such as driver logs, ELD data and maintenance files, and those records can be lost within weeks. The firm you pick, and how fast it moves, matters more than in a car case.

Before you sign: what the numbers mean after a Salt Lake City truck crash

1
0 of 5: firms here publish their contingency percentage
All five say there is no fee unless they recover, and Waddoups Law adds a net settlement guarantee. None prints the percentage or how case costs are handled if the case is lost. Ask for both in writing before you sign, and ask whether the percentage rises if the case goes to trial.
SOURCE · Firm websites, read October 2026
2
4 years: to file an injury lawsuit in Utah; 2 years for wrongful death
Utah Code 78B-2-307 generally allows four years from the crash for an injury suit, and a wrongful death claim generally has two years. If a government truck such as a plow or city vehicle is involved, Utah Code 63G-7-402 requires a written notice of claim within one year.

$0: to look up the trucking company’s safety record
FMCSA’s public SAFER system shows a carrier’s USDOT number, inspection history and out-of-service rates at no cost. Federal rules also set minimum liability coverage of $750,000 for most interstate general freight carriers under 49 CFR Part 387, so ask any firm how it plans to find every policy that applies.

The 5 firm dossiers

Waddoups Law Personal Injury Attorneys

Families after a fatal or catastrophic semi crash who want a small trial firm with a written fee guarantee
Why it made the list

Waddoups Law is a family-run injury firm on Fort Union Boulevard in Midvale, about 10 miles south of downtown, led by George T. Waddoups, who has practiced since 1982. Its page for Salt Lake City truck accident attorneys lists a $58.5 million jury verdict in a wrongful death case involving a semi-truck and a $1.6 million settlement in a semi-truck case with disputed liability, both the firm’s own figures. The page also lists the records it asks carriers to preserve after a crash: dashcam video, driver logs, onboard computers and dispatch records. Fees are contingency-based, and the firm says a client’s net settlement will be more than its fee percentage, or it reduces the fee.

QHow soon after I sign will you send preservation letters for the ELD, dashcam and maintenance records?
QHow does the net settlement guarantee work on my case, and how are case costs counted?
From the reviews we read
+ Clear explanations from Riley+ Fast paralegal updates+ Compassionate handling~ Few truck cases among the reviews

Reviewers keep naming Riley Waddoups for explaining each step and answering questions quickly, and several describe the paralegal team as fast with updates. Clients also describe George and Riley as compassionate. Most reviews we read came from car accident and other injury clients rather than truck cases, so the review base says more about service than about trucking results.

Fit and watch-outA good fit for a serious or fatal truck crash where trial experience and a written fee promise matter. The trade-off: the office is in Midvale rather than downtown, and with a small attorney roster the firm cannot staff as many cases at once as the large Salt Lake firms here.

Siegfried & Jensen

People who want a high-volume Utah firm with several offices and a Spanish-language site
Why it made the list

Siegfried & Jensen is the largest firm on this list by reviews and offices. It lists two Salt Lake City offices, 5664 S Green St and 32 Exchange Place downtown, plus offices in Ogden, Orem, Layton, Logan, St. George, Boise, Spokane and Seattle. Its Utah truck accident lawyer page says the firm has served Utah for over 30 years and has recovered more than $1.2 billion for clients, its own figure, and it covers 18-wheeler, dump truck, garbage truck, overloaded truck and underride crashes. It offers a free case evaluation by call or text and publishes a Spanish-language version of its truck page.

QWhich attorney, not case manager, will be responsible for my truck case?
QDo you take truck cases to trial yourselves or refer them out?
QWhich of your two Salt Lake City offices would handle my file?
From the reviews we read
+ Steady case updates+ Named case managers+ Repeat clients~ Team-based handling

With about 2,400 Google reviews on its Green Street office alone, this is by far the largest review base here. Reviewers name case managers and attorneys such as Nathan Harris, Nick and Kaylee Taylor for steady updates and smooth settlements. Several are repeat clients. The reviews we read describe a team process, so expect to work with several people.

Fit and watch-outSuited to someone who values scale, many locations and Spanish-language help. The trade-off: a high-volume firm runs cases through teams, and its truck page does not list a truck-specific verdict or settlement.
03

Mortensen & Milne

Catastrophic truck cases that may need a trial firm with product and underride defect work
Why it made the list

Mortensen & Milne is a trial-focused firm in the McIntyre Building at 68 S Main Street in downtown Salt Lake City. Its page for truck and commercial vehicle accident lawyers in Salt Lake City says it represents only victims, never trucking companies, and it lists a $36.75 million single-plaintiff trucking verdict in Nevada and a $10 million result in 2022, both its own figures. The firm also handles product liability and crashworthiness claims, which matters in underride crashes where a car slides beneath a trailer. Its truck page lists bus, delivery fleet, maintenance failure and inadequate driver training cases.

From the reviews we read
+ Reviewers name their attorney+ Clear explanations+ Quick replies~ 33 reviews, a small base

Reviewers name attorneys directly, especially Alan Mortensen, Lance Milne and Chris Cheney, and describe clear explanations and fast replies. At 33 Google reviews the base is small, and some reviews cover other matters such as a conservatorship, so it says less about truck work than about client service.

Fit and watch-outStrong for a catastrophic crash with possible vehicle defect claims and a real chance of trial. The trade-off: the review base is small, and the published truck figures include an out-of-state verdict.

RamRock Injury Law

Clients who want fast intake, a case-status portal and a firm that also handles Arizona and Texas crashes
Why it made the list

RamRock Injury Law works from 5353 S 960 E in the Salt Lake City and Murray area, and it also lists Arizona and Texas practice pages. Its Salt Lake City truck accident attorney page focuses on multi-party liability, naming the driver, the carrier, the maintenance company, part makers and cargo loaders as possible defendants, and it walks through hours of service, cargo securement and maintenance rules. It charges no upfront fee and says it is paid only if it wins. The page lists a $750,000 settlement as a sample result but does not say whether it was a truck case.

QWas the $750,000 result on your site a truck case, and do you have Utah truck results?
QWho manages medical bills and lien paperwork on my file?
QDoes your portal show deadlines and the documents you still need from me?
From the reviews we read
+ Quick first response+ Case portal with phase FAQs+ Regular updates~ One report of missed documents

Many reviewers say RamRock answered first when they called several firms, and some mention a client portal with a FAQ for each phase of the case. One recent reviewer said documents and medical bills were not handled properly before they moved to another attorney, so ask who manages the file.

Fit and watch-outA good fit for someone who wants quick responses and online case tracking. The trade-off: no truck-specific result is published, and one reviewer reported gaps in file handling.

Moxie Law Group

South valley and Utah County residents who want a women-led firm with a detailed federal-rules page
Why it made the list

Moxie Law Group is a women-led injury firm with Utah offices in Pleasant Grove and Sandy, not Salt Lake City proper. Its Utah truck accident lawyers page, reviewed in September 2026 by managing attorney Kara H. North, spells out the federal rules that decide fault: hours-of-service limits under 49 CFR Part 395, the 0.04 alcohol limit for commercial drivers, and the $750,000 minimum liability coverage for general freight carriers. It also notes the one-year notice rule for claims against a government truck such as a plow. The firm works on contingency, offers free consultations and has a Spanish-language community page.

QWould my case be handled from Sandy or Pleasant Grove, and can we meet in Salt Lake City?
QHow many truck cases has the firm taken to trial?
QIf a government vehicle is involved, when will you file the notice of claim?
From the reviews we read
+ Named attorney and paralegal team+ Frequent updates+ Fixed a prior lawyer’s problems~ Offices outside Salt Lake City

Reviewers name attorneys Kara North and Alyssa Wood and paralegals Rachel and Jessica, describing frequent updates and patient explanations. One client said the team fixed problems a previous attorney had created. Another said the firm declined a case over a conflict but was clear about why.

Fit and watch-outStrong on explaining the federal trucking rules and on communication. The trade-off: there is no Salt Lake City office, and the truck page publishes no truck verdict or settlement.

Six things to settle before you hire a truck accident attorney

Fee percentage in writing. Get the contingency percentage, and whether it changes if a lawsuit is filed or the case goes to trial, in the signed fee agreement.
Costs if there is no recovery. Ask who pays for experts, accident reconstruction and records if the case is lost, and whether costs come out before or after the fee.
The attorney on your file. Name the attorney responsible for your case, not only the case manager, and ask how often you will hear from them.
Preservation letters. Ask when the firm will send preservation letters for ELD data, dashcam video, driver qualification files and maintenance records.
Bar record. Look up the lead attorney in the Utah State Bar licensee directory to confirm active status and any public discipline.
Referral or co-counsel. Ask whether the firm will keep the case or refer it to another firm, and how the fee is split if it does.
05
