About Dewsnup King Olsen Worel Havas

Dewsnup King Olsen Worel Havas (DKOW) is a Salt Lake City plaintiffs' trial firm established in 1990 that represents injured people and bereaved families across Utah and the Intermountain West. The firm concentrates on medical malpractice, catastrophic and brain injury, wrongful death, product liability, aviation disasters, trucking and motor vehicle collisions, oil, gas and mining accidents, and insurance bad faith. Its lawyers have obtained several record Utah results, including a $36.7 million brain injury settlement, a $25 million wrongful death verdict, an $11.2 million medical malpractice verdict, and the state's first eight figure punitive damages award at $10.5 million in a product liability case. DKOW served as lead counsel for victims of the 2007 Crandall Canyon coal mine collapse and manages opioid litigation for 18 of Utah's 29 counties, recovering more than $60 million.
