Common Personal Injury Cases in Seattle, WA

  • Car, Truck, and Motorcycle crashes are the most frequent type of personal injury claim. In Washington, well over 100,000 accidents occur each year, many of them serious or fatal. 
  • Job Injuries are some of the most devastating of the personal injuries. Lifting injuries, trip and fall, electrocution, trauma, and PTSD all ruin careers and cripple workers. 
  • Construction site accidents are serious business. Falls from heights, electrocution, being struck by an object, dangerous machines, toxic chemicals, and being pinned between a rock and a hard spot cause the most serious of construction injuries.
  • Common to almost all personal injury claims is not knowing what will happen, when it will happen, and why it is taking so long. Insurance companies specialize in delay. They know well that the more uncertain and frustrated you are, the more likely you are to take what they offer so that you can get it over with. Don’t let that happen to you. Insist that they settle your property damage claim early and get it over with. This will then give you time to complete your medical treatment as necessary, be patient, and settle your personal injury claim when medical care is complete. 

FAQs

What kind of cases do personal injury lawyers handle?

Personal injury lawyers handle accident and injury claims involving your person or property. Their job is to help you fairly assess your injuries, encourage you to do the right things to improve your case, prove the tortfeasor’s negligence, negotiate with the insurance company and their lawyers, file suit if necessary, and get the best value possible for personal injury victims. 

When should a personal injury lawyer be used?

A Personal Injury attorney should be consulted when you will benefit from legal advice about injury law. Pain and suffering, lost wages, current and future medical bills, personal injury, property damage, and how to get the best value for your claim are all important things to understand. A good Seattle personal injury lawyer can explain all this and more and help you obtain a fair result. 

How much do personal injury attorneys cost?

Personal injury attorneys from a first-class law firm will represent you on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no money upfront and no attorney fees at all unless your attorney gets you money. With a successful claim, contingent attorney fees are a percentage of your recovery. For precise details, see contingentattorney fees. Most Seattle area attorneys charge a similar rate. There are some very good personal injury attorneys in Seattle. Get a good one. 

Should I talk to the insurance company first?

In an ideal world you would talk to the insurance company first and a lawyer only if necessary. This is not an ideal world. Unrepresented persons are easy prey for skilled insurance adjusters. These adjusters have many times worked over innocent persons who only wanted a fair settlement. They are waiting for your call so they can “become your friend” and help you settle cheaply. The smart plan for you is to first get a free consultation from a personal injury attorney. Don’t feel you have to hire that attorney. Just talk about your injuries and losses. Get some expert advice for free, and then with that information, you can make decisions about whether it is best for you to talk directly to the insurance company or not. 

What is the statute of limitations in Washington State?

The Statute of Limitations is a time deadline. You have a limited amount of time to pursue a personal injury claim. Settle your claim or file a lawsuit before it’s too late. 
Different kinds of personal injury claims have different statutes of limitations. Most claims for negligence have a 3-year statute of limitations. Job injuries have a 1-year statute of limitations. Other claims may have a different statute of limitations. This is important. Don’t miss your statute of limitations. If you don’t know yours, get legal advice!
