William Enoch Andrews is a personal injury attorney in Salt Lake City. He represents people seriously hurt in vehicle collisions, and families who have lost someone in one. He works across Utah, from the Wasatch Front to St. George and Moab.
Most attorney bios ask you to take their word for it. William wrote his down. He published a 126 page book on how Utah car accident claims actually work and gives it away free, so you can read it, test it, and argue with it before you ever pick up the phone.
His firm philosophy is integrity, compassion and excellence. His business philosophy is shorter. Take good care of people and the money will follow.
Call him directly at (801) 322-4878. The consultation is free and there is no fee unless he recovers money for you.
He focuses on injury and wrongful death claims arising from vehicle collisions, and he is explicit in his book about why the focus is narrow. Focus allows for excellence, and personal injury law contains several distinct areas within it.
William Andrews Injury Attorney handles the following case types.
Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and collisions involving commercial trucks, semi-trucks and eighteen wheelers. These are the bulk of the practice.
Each carries different rules. A motorcyclist has no personal injury protection benefit in Utah because PIP does not cover riders. A pedestrian claim frequently turns on a comparative fault argument about where someone crossed. Our practice areas page covers each in detail.
Deaths from car accidents happen at the scene and they happen months afterward. Both give rise to a claim, and where a death follows a long hospitalization there may be two claims running on two different clocks.
He takes these cases and writes about them with unusual directness, describing it as an honor to help families through what he calls a very hard time in their lives. Our page on fatal motor vehicle claims explains how they are structured.
Utah Code section 18-1-1 makes a dog's owner liable for injuries the animal causes. He cites that statute himself in his book and takes these cases, which are usually claimed against the owner's homeowner insurance rather than any auto policy.
Comparative fault still applies to them, so a claim is not automatic simply because a bite occurred. What the injured person was doing at the time still matters.
He earned his law degree from the University of Iowa College of Law in 2003 and holds a Bachelor of Science from Weber State University, completed in 2000.
Elite Lawyer named him an Elite Lawyer in 2024 and he has held that listing since. The firm posted the announcement to its video page.
The book is called 8 Wrong Turns That Will Wreck Your Utah Car Accident Case And How To Prevent Them. All 126 pages are free and you can download it today.
It is not a marketing pamphlet. Long sections tell readers things that give away his own bargaining position, including that you may take a damaged vehicle to any licensed repair shop you choose rather than the one an insurer directs you to, and that NADA is the place to check whether a total loss valuation is fair.
The eight wrong turns themselves are about timing and information. Waiting too long. Settling too fast. Not seeing a doctor. Not talking to a lawyer. Talking to an adjuster. Trusting the insurer. Hiring outside the specialty. Carrying too little coverage. Our book page walks through each one.
Chapter 5 deals with insurance, and it is where most people discover they misunderstand their own policy. It explains what personal injury protection actually pays, why $3,000 in medical benefits runs out faster than anyone expects, and what underinsured motorist coverage is for.
That chapter connects directly to the results he has published, because in nearly all of them the second policy that paid was the client's own underinsured coverage. Readers who take one thing from the book usually take that.
The final chapter is about laughing, his collection of funny ties, and quotes from people involved in car accidents. It sits oddly against a book about serious injury and that appears to be deliberate.
Injury claims run for months or years while someone is in pain and worried about money. A practice that acknowledges the human weight of that is describing something real about how it operates, and the chapter reads as sincere rather than as a marketing device.
Virtually all of his cases arrive by referral. He lists the sources in his book as past clients, current clients, medical doctors, chiropractic doctors, other attorneys who do not practice injury law, and people who know him outside of work.
That referral pattern is the most informative fact on this page. A practice fed by past clients and by the doctors who treated them is being judged by people who watched the work from the inside.
Clients speak with him. The practice is not structured around volume, and he is critical in his book of firms that treat injured people as income streams rather than individuals.
That structure has a trade-off worth stating plainly. A practice built on direct attorney contact does not take every case that calls, and he is explicit in his book about the cases he declines as well as the ones he takes.
He coordinates rental vehicles for clients and works with insurers to extend rental periods where treatment requires it. He refers clients to a repair shop he trusts.
None of that is legal work and none of it appears on a fee agreement. It is included here because it is what the day to day of an injury claim actually consists of for the person living through it.
The office is at 299 S Main Street, Suite 1310, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. He takes cases throughout the state rather than only along the Wasatch Front.
Utah's crash burden is not evenly distributed. Salt Lake County accounts for roughly 26% of traffic fatalities and Utah County around 12%, while the rural counties see about 17% of crashes and roughly 40% of fatalities. A claim from a highway collision outside Moab is a different case from a claim from a Salt Lake City intersection, and both are handled from the same office. Our locations page lists the areas served.
Hurt in a Utah vehicle collision, or lost someone in one? A conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. William Enoch Andrews will tell you whether your claim is worth pursuing and whether you need a lawyer to pursue it, including when the answer is no.
Bring the crash report if you have one. Bring your own insurance declarations page too. In most of the results he has published, the second policy that paid was the injured person's own underinsured motorist coverage, and that page is where it shows up.
There is no fee unless he recovers money for you. If you want to see how he thinks before you call, the free book spells it out over 126 pages.
Call (801) 322-4878 or reach him through the contact page to talk about what happened.
