Kelly H. Macfarlane

Kelly attended Dixie College, and graduated from Weber State College in 1984, cum laude, in Economics and was named the Most Outstanding Graduate in the School of Economics and the Most Outstanding Male Graduate for the entire School of Business. He graduated from the University of Utah College of Law in 1987 where he worked on Law Review. His practice has emphasized complex insurance disputes, product liability, catastrophic injuries, and the reduction of liens on personal injury cases. He has spent his legal career at Christensen & Jensen before starting his own firm to try and concentrate his practice on helping the injured.  Kelly receives most of his catastrophic injury cases through referrals from former clients. He considers this the best compliment he could ever receive. As he passes thirty years practicing law, Kelly considers his previous work in the insurance defense industry to be his greatest asset. Kelly is adept at working with difficult insurance policy language and obtaining coverage where it seems to be limited. He fights until he has found a way to succeed, and in the case of representing injured plaintiffs, until he has been able to obtain the fullest possible recovery for his client. Kelly has directed numerous clients to settlements over $1 million and multiple clients to settlements in exess of $4 million.  He has worked on over 20 brain injury cases and 8 quadriplegic or paraplegic cases and a two double amputation cases.Kelly also performs product liability defense work for sports equipment manufacturers which requires him to practice in over 30 different jurisdictions in the United States.  This is why Kelly is so proficient in the area of Product Liability for Plaintiff cases.  He has practiced extensivly in this area for over 30 years. More importantly, he lost his leg in a motorcycle accident when he was 17 and broke his back in a car accident and had severe facial scarring soon after this.   None of these accidents were his fault and so he has great empathy for those who have been injured and knows what you are going through.  Finally, despite all this experiencem, Kelly has disrupted the market by offering his services at 25% for injury cases that settle before the filing of a complaint (Product liability and Medical Malpractice cases excluded).  He has mastered the ability to settle cases before large hospital liens or health insurance reimbursments are required saving clients thousands of dollars from beign deducted from their settlements.
