Rear-end collision on I-15 near University Parkway
Three-vehicle chain reaction on northbound I-15 at the University Parkway merge. Our client was the lead car. Initial ER imaging was inconclusive; symptoms worsened over the following weeks into a confirmed cervical disc herniation.
The trailing driver's carrier called it 'soft tissue,' tied its offer to early ER notes, and discounted later imaging as 'unrelated.' A common Utah I-15 rear-end playbook.
Resolved before trial after a second mediation. The settlement was structured to address both ongoing care and future earning loss.
- Pulled the EDR (event data recorder) download from the trailing vehicle to nail speed and brake timing.
- Coordinated medical care through providers familiar with documenting delayed-onset injuries.
- Brought in the treating neurologist's records and a vocational analysis to anchor future-care valuation.
