Practice Areas Description

We have successfully handled a wide range of personal injury claims, including:

- Head Injury

A head injury may be as simple as a bump on the head, or it may involve a more complex traumatic brain injury. Head—and particularly brain injuries—in Salt Lake City can be debilitating and recovery can be physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially exhausting.

- Traumatic Brain Injury

In Salt Lake City Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) catastrophically changes the lives of individuals and families every year. Salt Lake City TBIs are complex, not always immediately apparent, and can be profoundly disabling. As a brain injury law firm in Salt Lake City, we have helped victims struggling with the effects of traumatic brain injuries.

- Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents, including accidents involving cars, motorcycles, trucks and buses, are the most common cause of serious injury in the United States, resulting in hundreds of thousands of injuries and deaths. If you have been injured or have lost a loved one due to a vehicle accident that someone else caused, you may be entitled to recover damages. Potentially recoverable damages include medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages. At Robert B. Sykes & Associates, P.C. we have successfully litigated several cases resulting in six and seven figure settlements on behalf of clients located throughout Utah. Insurance companies vigorously defend motor vehicle accident cases. We are prepared to fight hard for justice for those who have been injured, and are willing to try cases in court if fair settlements are not offered.

- Defective Tires

Injuries caused by defective tires can be devastating. Typically, a victim will be driving along at normal speeds, the tire will fail (blow out), and the vehicle goes out of control and crashes. Very serious injuries, including brain injury and quadriplegia, often result. Commonly, the car will roll over and the occupants will also suffer roof-crush injuries. Defective seatbelts that do not hold you in place can add to your injuries. Tire cases are complex and the tire companies fight hard. At Robert B. Sykes & Associates, P.C. we have successfully litigated several cases and achieved $1,000,000+ results for victims of serious injury throughout Utah. We are prepared to fight hard for justice in this area, and are willing to try cases in court if fair settlements are not offered.

- Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice does not happen only in a doctor's office or hospital emergency room. For more than 30 years, our firm has represented individuals who have been injured as a result of nursing and medication errors. Unfortunately, it's a tragedy that happens all too frequently. Every day nurses and other health care professionals across the country commit acts of negligence that can result in serious and permanent injuries for the unfortunate patient. Whether it involves a pharmacist filling the wrong prescription, or a nurse's mistake resulting from her failure to properly read a patient's chart, medical malpractice in the U.S. results in millions of dollars of additional medical expenses for injured patients, and a lifetime of pain and suffering, both for the patient and for his or her loved ones.
