For over three decades, William Rawlings & Associates has been a trusted advocate for accident victims across Utah. Founded by Bill Rawlings, the firm was built on a personal mission: to understand the intricacies of insurance companies and to stand firm for those who have been injured. After relocating to Utah in 1993, the firm has grown steadily, helping thousands of clients rebuild their lives after serious injuries.
Today, we are proud to announce the next chapter in our journey. Our firm is now Porrazzo Rawlings Accident & Injury Law.
This change honors Bill Rawlings’ legacy while recognizing the leadership of Michael Porrazzo, our Owner and Lead Trial Attorney. Since taking the helm in 2020, Michael has upheld the same values of compassion, dedication, and experience—helping clients recover meaningful compensation after accidents, negligence, or misconduct.
With over 100 years of combined experience, our team has the knowledge and skill to guide clients through every step of their case, from intake to trial if necessary.
What We Do: Serving Utah’s Accident Victims
Our mission remains unchanged: to guide clients through some of the hardest moments of their lives. We handle cases such as:
- Car Accidents: Assisting victims in navigating insurance claims and securing fair compensation.

We also handle cases involving dog bites, slip and fall injuries, bike accidents, bus accidents, pedestrian accidents, personal injury cases, and motorcycle accidents—and many other personal injury matters. If you’ve been hurt in an accident, we’re here to help.
Utah’s Traffic Safety Landscape: A Call for Vigilance
Understanding the context in which we operate is crucial. Utah’s roadways continue to pose significant risks to drivers and pedestrians alike.
- In 2023, there were 26,637 injuries and 279 fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes in Utah. This equates to a crash occurring every 8.8 minutes, an injury every 19.7 minutes, and a fatality every 31.4 hours (DPS – Highway Safety).
- Motor vehicle traffic crashes accounted for 285 deaths in Utah during 2023, a decrease from 310 deaths in 2022 (IBIS-PH).
- Unintentional injuries, including those from motor vehicle crashes, were a leading cause of death and disability in Utah, accounting for 1,520 deaths in 2023 (IBIS-PH).
These statistics underscore the importance of having experienced legal representation when navigating the aftermath of an accident.
