Before you file that insurance claim…

Two people with the same insurance, and the same damages in a crash, may receive very different insurance proceeds.

Why? Because dealing with insurance is complicated:

👮 It matters how the police report was filed
🩺 It matters how you track expenses and medical bills
💬 It matters what you say, or don’t say — to the insurance company, driver, the police, etc.
And the list goes on…

Insurance companies won’t walk you through every little step. They don’t have the time, plus they’re incentivized to pay you a minimum!

The attorneys at Flickinger • Boulton • Robson • Weeks do have the time, they do want to help, and they are experts at it.

They will take your case no matter how small. Their commitment is to help people in Utah County get proper and fair compensation whenever they are injured.

Call them at (801) 500-4000 if you have any questions. You will always get their best effort – and you’ll never have to pay out of your own pocket!

📍 Their main office is right here in Provo: 3000 N University Ave, Suite 300, Provo
📍 They also have an office in South Jordan: 10393 S. Temple Dr., Suite 103, South Jordan

Fat Daddy’s Pizzeria sits right in the heart of downtown Provo — and they really have a great thing going on. They sell thin‑crust New York–style pies with hand‑tossed dough and lots of creative toppings (gnocchi, wings, milkshakes, and more…).

👩‍🍳 Janine Coons — The Heart of Fat Daddy’s: The story goes something like this, one day Janine was just helping a friend with an Italian restaurant, and then suddenly she owned Fat Daddy’s Pizzeria! There’s a little more to it than that (national pizza publication, PMQ, tells her story) but that’s the gist. As she puts it, “I spent 2023 trying to figure out who I was and what I was doing…”

Thanks to a lot of creativity and some help from her team, Janine has been become the warm, relatable “face” of her business. She’s even created blogs like “A Day in the Life of a Pizzeria Owner”!

🍕 “Funnest” Pizza Spot in Town: You probably have seen their events (Fantasy Trivia nights, May the 4th Star Wars night), but even on a day where they don’t have a special event, it’s a special treat to eat there. It might be the coolest looking pizza parlor around with a 1980s feel in a turn-of-the-century space.

📍 Fat Daddy’s Pizzeria - 223 W Center St, Downtown Provo

We spotlight local businesses for free! There is a small waiting list, so if you’re interested just email us soon at [email protected]
