Why You Should Take Legal Action
- You Can Prevent Harm to Others
Without legal action, negligent medical professionals and others may face relatively minor consequences for serious harm. YHM can help you make it known that negligence has consequences, which can prevent similar harm to others. - You Deserve Justice
Negligence by doctors, motorists, and other parties can quickly lead to financial devastation for victims. You don’t deserve to suffer for others’ mistakes. Let YHM help you achieve the justice you deserve. - No One Will Do It For You
While the state will take action in criminal cases, it’s up to victims to take action in cases of medical malpractice, car accidents, and other personal injury cases. YHM is ready to represent you and your family with fact-based litigation.

A $5 Million Victory
One of Our Many Successes
In 2021, attorneys Ashton Hyde and John Macfarlane secured a $5,000,000 jury award for clients whose mother died after doctors improperly withdrew life-sustaining care.
The jury found that her doctors failed to adequately explain to the family that her health was improving and that she would likely make a good recovery. Instead, the doctors certified her as terminal and agreed to withdraw life support.
YHM invites you to take a closer look at this case to learn how our approach to medical malpractice and personal injury cases makes it possible for truth and accountability to triumph for the benefit of victims.
Pursuing Justice for Utah's Hispanic Community
A significant portion of the Salt Lake City area's population is native Spanish speakers.

Associate attorney McKay Corbett and the entire team at Younker Hyde Macfarlane are here to help. We are a bilingual law firm advocating for the marginalized so they can achieve justice.
“Anyone can get injured, but a lot of times, people who are the most marginalized suffer the most. I like being able to help those people.”

How Long Do Malpractice Cases Take?
No two cases are the same. It takes time and investigative work for an attorney to prepare a case, and insurance companies will often want to drag out proceedings for as long as possible, which places the average case time at three years or more. If you're considering filing a medical malpractice claim, work with a team that is prepared to see your case through and stand by your side every step of the way.
