Car accidents can take a tremendous toll on all areas of your life. There is the physical impact, which can result in injuries, life-altering disabilities or the untimely loss of a loved one. There is the financial impact – the medical bills, repair bills, lost paychecks from missed work, and other bills related to the collision. And there is the emotional impact, which can leave invisible scars that last a lifetime.
Dealing with all of these repercussions and overbearing insurance companies can be overwhelming, to say the least, and if you think the insurance company is on your side, think again. The unfortunate reality is that the company is prioritizing its own bottom line, which means minimizing your payout. You may even run into insurance hurdles such as delays and ungrounded denials.
Experiencing a personal injury can be overwhelming, but taking the right steps immediately afterward can protect your health, legal rights, and ability to seek compensation.
Seek Medical Attention
Your health comes first. Seek immediate medical attention after an accident, even if injuries seem minor. Hidden issues like concussions or soft tissue damage may surface later. A doctor’s evaluation ensures timely treatment and strengthens your case with documented medical records.
Consult with an Attorney
A skilled personal injury attorney protects your rights while you focus on recovery. We handle legal complexities, ensuring your claim is filed correctly and on time.
Investigation
Our experienced Seattle injury attorneys thoroughly investigate your claim, collecting critical evidence like medical records, police reports, and witness statements to build a strong case for fair compensation.
Demand & Negotiation
We negotiate with the at-fault party’s insurance company to secure a fair settlement. While many smaller cases resolve here, our team pushes for the maximum compensation you deserve. We fight to maximize your settlement.
Settlement or Lawsuit
If negotiations fail, we file a lawsuit against the responsible party. During the discovery phase, we exchange evidence and strengthen your case, keeping you informed every step of the way. Washington’s statute of limitations is typically three years- don’t delay.
Trial
Most cases settle before trial through strategic negotiations, saving you time and stress. If a fair settlement isn’t reached, our skilled litigators are prepared to fight for you in court. Ready to discuss your case? Call is today for a free consultation.
To file a successful personal injury claim, we must typically prove:
- Evidence of Injury: Medical records, bills, or photos documenting your injuries and treatment.
- Proof of Negligence or Fault: Evidence showing the other party’s negligence or responsibility, like police reports, witness statements, or photos of the incident scene.
- Details of the Incident: A clear account of what happened, including date, time, location, and circumstances of the injury.
- Damages Documentation: Proof of losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, or other costs related to the injury.
Even if you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, our team is here to evaluate your case with care and clarity.
