Holding Employers and Corporations Accountable After Workplace Catastrophes

Labor, Mining & Industrial Accident Lawyers in Utah

Trial-Tested Representation for Workers Hurt in Industrial Accidents Across Utah

Industrial, Mining & Workplace Injuries Are Complex — and Employers Fight Hard

Accidents at mines, oil fields, construction sites, and industrial facilities often involve multiple parties — employers, contractors, equipment manufacturers, and insurers — each with experienced defense teams. Workers injured in these catastrophic events frequently face pressure from insurers and company lawyers seeking to minimize responsibility.



At Mortensen & Milne, our Utah labor, mining, and industrial accident attorneys take over the legal burden early, preserve critical evidence, document safety violations, and build a trial-ready case that holds every responsible party fully accountable.

Trial Preparation Drives Real Results

Defendants and insurers know which firms are prepared for court. Our reputation as courtroom-ready litigators gives our clients leverage and credibility from the outset. We pursue full justice — not quick, lowball offers that leave injured workers and their families undercompensated.

What You Need to Know About Workplace Injury Claims in Utah

Who Can File an Industrial Accident Claim?

Injured workers — or families of workers killed on the job — may pursue legal claims beyond workers’ compensation when negligence, defective equipment, or third-party liability is involved. Our attorneys explain your options clearly.

What Damages Are Recoverable?

Compensation may include medical expenses, future care costs, lost wages, disability, pain and suffering, and — in fatal cases — wrongful death damages.

How Long Do You Have to File?

Many workplace injury claims outside workers’ compensation are subject to strict deadlines. Acting quickly helps preserve evidence and protect your rights.
