Christian Cueva is a personal injury attorney at Robert J. DeBry & Associates who represents injured Utahns in serious accident and wrongful-death cases. Born and raised in Lima, Peru, before making his home in Utah, he is fluent in Spanish and English and proud to serve Utah’s Spanish-speaking community. He works on a contingency fee basis, so there is nothing to pay unless he wins.
His litigation practice concentrates on the highest-stakes cases, and his results include a multi-million-dollar jury verdict in Utah’s Federal District Court and multiple seven-figure settlements. Hablamos español y estamos aquí para ayudarle.
Christian studied history and political economy at the University of California, Berkeley, earned a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Utah, and received his Juris Doctor from the university’s S.J. Quinney College of Law. He was admitted to the Utah Supreme Court and the Utah Federal District Court in 2014, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2016, and the California Supreme Court in 2018.
That broad admission and courtroom experience allow him to take on complex, high-value cases, and to try them when insurers refuse to offer fair value. Many of his most significant settlements remain confidential under client agreements.
Christian believes every client deserves to understand their case in their own language. He communicates clearly and directly, in English or Spanish, and prepares each case as if it will be tried, because that readiness is what drives real results.
A multi-million-dollar federal jury verdict, and the willingness to try any case that deserves it.

Christian handles car, semi-truck, and commercial-vehicle crashes, building strong liability cases and pursuing full value.
From construction and train accidents to electrocutions and other catastrophic injuries, Christian takes on complex cases with multiple responsible parties.
Christian represents families in wrongful-death and premises liability claims with diligence and compassion.
Utah generally allows four years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, but only two years for wrongful death, and claims against a government entity carry even shorter notice requirements. Because evidence fades and deadlines run from the date of the accident, it pays to talk with an attorney early.
Under Utah’s modified comparative fault rule, an injured person can still recover if they are less than 50 percent at fault, though the award is reduced by their share. Insurers often argue the injured person shares blame, so building strong evidence of the other party’s fault is central to how Christian approaches every case.
Every case starts with a free, no-obligation consultation, available in English or Spanish. Christian reviews what happened, explains how Utah law applies, and lays out your options. From there, the team gathers records and evidence, deals with the insurance company directly, and prepares the case for trial if a fair settlement is not offered.
The firm is licensed in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming and provides statewide representation, with attorneys who travel to injured clients who cannot come to the office. You can meet the rest of the team on the Robert J. DeBry attorneys page.
