The truth about your claim

The insurance company is not on your side — by design.

When you're hurt, the adjuster's job isn't to make you whole. It's to close your claim for as little as possible. Their playbook has a name — and a decades-long paper trail.

Delay

Stall the claim, wait out your bills and your patience, and hope you settle cheap just to make it stop.

Deny

Dispute that you're really hurt — blame "pre-existing" or "degenerative" conditions, or argue low car damage means no injury.

Defend

If you push back without a trial lawyer, they dig in — because they know most firms never actually try a case.

The lowball offer

A fast check before you know the full extent of your injuries.

The recorded statement

Your words, taken early, used later to shrink your claim.

"It's just degenerative"

Pain-free people show the same MRI findings — it's not proof you weren't hurt.

The "independent" exam

A medical exam hired and paid for by the other side.

How we help

Serious injuries. Serious representation.

If you were hurt because someone else was careless, you may be owed far more than the insurer will offer.

Car Accidents

Rear-end, intersection, distracted & drunk driving crashes.

Truck Accidents

Commercial trucking cases with high stakes and big insurers.

Motorcycle

Fighting the bias riders face — and fighting for full value.

Pedestrian

Crosswalk and parking-lot injuries to people on foot.

Rideshare

Uber & Lyft crashes and their layered insurance coverage.

Slip & Fall

Premises injuries caused by unsafe, neglected property.

Catastrophic & TBI

Brain, spinal and life-altering injuries requiring future care.

Wrongful Death

Compassionate, determined representation for grieving families.

Inside Kevin Peterson's office at Apis Felix Law — bar admissions and diplomas on the wall, chairs for clients

Your lead trial attorney

Kevin Peterson

Kevin Peterson came to plaintiff's work the hard way. He lost his father to medical negligence, so he knows what preventable harm takes from a family. And after two back surgeries of his own, he knows firsthand what debilitating nerve pain feels like — and what it takes from everyday life. When clients describe their pain, he isn't imagining it. He remembers it.

Kevin has seen a lawsuit from every seat in the courtroom. Three years as a judicial law clerk put him in trial court nearly every day, learning how judges actually rule — and why. Years defending insurance companies taught him exactly how carriers evaluate, price, and fight claims. Now he puts all of it to work for injured people: he has tried cases to jury verdict — including serving on the trial team that won a $21.7 million jury verdict — and has tried insurance bad-faith cases to verdict. From the first adjuster phone call to the last word of closing argument, he understands the entire legal process because he has worked every stage of it, on every side of it.

Today his practice centers on catastrophic injuries — brain and spinal injuries, severe burns, amputations, wrongful death — along with select medical-malpractice cases, where accountability isn't about punishing good doctors: it's about advancing patient safety. Every case gets thorough preparation and one old-fashioned promise: you'll be treated the way Kevin would want to be treated.

"I represent people — never insurance companies. My job is to find the truth, tell your story, and be ready to take it all the way to a jury if that's what full justice requires."

Straight answers

Questions injured people actually ask

Plain-English answers — general information, not legal advice about your specific case. For that, the consultation is free.

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Utah or Nevada?+
At Apis Felix Law, nothing up front. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee: the consultation is free, and you pay no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. Before you sign anything, we walk through exactly how case costs work — in plain English, with no fine print and no surprises. (The complete fee terms, including the limited situations where costs can apply, are summarized at the bottom of this page.)
How long do I have to file an injury claim?+
Every injury claim has a strict filing deadline called the statute of limitations, and in some cases it can be as short as two years from the date of injury — and much shorter for claims involving government entities, which can require formal notice within months. The exact deadline depends on your state, the type of case, and the parties involved. The safest move is to talk to a lawyer promptly; the consultation is free and calling costs you nothing.
Should I give the insurance adjuster a recorded statement?+
You are generally not required to give the other side's insurance company a recorded statement, and it is usually not in your interest to do so before speaking with a lawyer. Adjusters are trained to ask questions that can shrink your claim later. Talk to an attorney first — then let your legal team handle every communication with the insurer.
What is my case worth?+
No honest lawyer can promise a number before understanding your medical treatment, your losses, and the available insurance coverage. Case value generally reflects your medical bills, lost income, future care needs, and the human losses — pain, limitations, and what the injury took from your life. We evaluate all of it and pursue full value, not the insurer's formula price.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?+
Possibly. Utah and Nevada both use comparative-fault rules, which can reduce — but do not automatically eliminate — your recovery when you share some of the blame. Whether you can recover depends on your percentage of fault, so don't assume you have no case; get it evaluated for free.
How long does a case take?+
It varies from a few months to a few years. The biggest drivers are how long your medical treatment takes, whether the insurance company negotiates fairly, and whether the case must be filed in court. Rushing to settle before you understand your injuries usually means leaving money on the table — we move as fast as your best outcome allows.
What should I do right now after a crash or injury?+
Get medical care first — your health drives everything else. Then, if you can: photograph the scene, vehicles, and injuries; save witness names and numbers; keep every document the insurance company sends you; and don't give recorded statements or sign anything before you talk to a lawyer. Then call us — it's free, and the earlier we start, the more evidence we can preserve.
Do I really need a lawyer, or can I handle it myself?+
You can handle a claim yourself — but insurance companies price claims based on who is across the table, and unrepresented claimants rarely see the file's real value. A trial lawyer changes the math because the insurer has to price in the risk of a jury. Our consultation is free, so you can find out where you stand before deciding anything.
