Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, & Car Accident FAQs
Empowering you to seek the compensation you deserve.
Every case is unique, and damages from case to case can vary; however factors like medical costs, lost wages, the severity of the accident, and general damages (pain and suffering) should all be considered. Be sure to talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer to get a case evaluation specific to your circumstances.
Yes, Washington has a strict liability policy regarding dog bites/attacks. That means the dog owner is responsible regardless of whether the dog has a history of bites/attacks or not.
The statute of limitations (deadline) to bring an injury or wrongful death claim can vary depending on the circumstances. Be sure that you consult with an attorney right away to find out what the applicable statute of limitations is for YOUR case.
No. Washington requires that a court-appointed Settlement Guardian Ad Litem (SGAL) approve of any settlement(s) and/or other resolution(s) for the claims of a minor.
Washington law provides a hierarchy of only certain relatives that qualify as a “wrongful death beneficiary”; and therefore can pursue a wrongful death claim. Be sure to consult with an attorney to see if you fall within one of the allowed categories.
Nothing. Personal Injury and Wrongful death claims are taken on a “contingency fee” basis. That means that the attorney fee is based on a percentage of how much the attorney is able to recover for you, whether through settlement or litigation. No recovery equals no attorney fee, so you don’t bear the risk.
If you have Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage on your auto insurance policy, you should send your medical bills to your auto insurance and they will pay for them up to the limits of your PIP coverage, regardless of who was at fault for the accident. If you do not have PIP coverage, and/or if your PIP coverage gets exhausted (used up), you should have your medical providers bill your medical insurance and contact a personal injury attorney about your options going forward.
Yes. The property damage and personal injury claims are separate; and typically even handled by two different insurance claims adjusters.
Probably not. Your medical records can contain certain sensitive information that you may not be comfortable sharing and/or that can negatively impact your potential injury claim. Be sure to consult with a personal injury attorney to see if it makes sense for you to allow the insurance company to have direct access to your medical records/information.
Yes, you are required to pay back/reimburse your medical providers and medical insurance from any settlement or other personal injury/wrongful death recovery. A well versed, skilled personal injury lawyer will negotiate reductions on the reimbursement amount(s) as part of their representation of your injury/wrongful death claim.
Maybe. “Comparative fault” (meaning you had part of the fault) doesn’t necessarily preclude you from bringing an injury claim. Be sure to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney about your specific situation to find out what claims/options you have.
