Services
Auto Accidents
Our experienced team handles all aspects of auto accident claims, from evidence collection to insurance negotiations. We specialize in recovering compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and vehicle damage while managing all case costs upfront. With trial-ready preparation and local legal expertise, we ensure maximum settlements reflecting both current and future damages.
Dog Bites
We represent victims of dog bite injuries through comprehensive case management covering medical documentation, owner liability investigation, and insurance negotiations. Our approach addresses both physical damages and emotional trauma while securing coverage for surgical treatments, counseling, and scar management through homeowners' policies or other available resources.
Truck Accidents
Specializing in complex truck accident litigation, we analyze black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records to establish liability against major carriers. Our team pursues full compensation for catastrophic injuries including rehabilitation costs, long-term care expenses, and income loss while challenging insurance companies' settlement offers with trial-ready evidence preparation.
Pedestrian Injuries
We advocate for pedestrians struck by vehicles through thorough investigation of crosswalk violations, distracted driving, and road condition factors. Our representation includes securing immediate medical treatment coverage, documenting permanent disabilities, and negotiating settlements that account for future mobility challenges and quality-of-life impacts.
Motorcycle Injuries
Our motorcycle accident specialists counter insurance industry bias through detailed accident reconstruction and rider rights advocacy. We pursue compensation for bike replacement, visible scarring treatments, and lost earning capacity while challenging lowball settlement offers through aggressive litigation backed by extensive trial experience.

Questions
Will switching to Cockayne Law cost extra fees?
No additional costs apply when changing legal representation. We may coordinate with previous attorneys but won't charge clients extra for case transfers.
Can I claim benefits if not at fault?
Utah's PIP coverage provides up to $3,000 medical coverage regardless of fault. Our team helps maximize available insurance benefits through proper documentation.
What if the at-fault party lacks insurance?
We utilize uninsured motorist coverage from your policy to cover medical expenses and vehicle repairs, ensuring compensation when facing uninsured drivers.
How are legal fees structured?
Contingency fee basis - no payment unless we win. Fees come from settlement proceeds, typically 33-40% depending on case complexity.
What if I can't afford legal representation?
Our no upfront cost policy ensures accessibility. Case costs are advanced and only recovered if we successfully resolve your claim.
