Do I qualify to file a personal injury claim?
Some common types of accidents that we handle include the following:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Vehicle accidents
- Dog bites/attacks
- Premises liability (slip and fall)
- Medical malpractice
- Wrongful death
How to File a Personal Injury Claim
In most cases, the state of Washington’s statute of limitations only allows you three years from the date of your injury (or the date of its discovery in cases of medical malpractice) before you may no longer file a claim for damages. For this reason, it is important to file as soon as possible.
For example, if you were in a traffic accident where a negligent driver abruptly changed lanes and knocked your vehicle off the road, causing you to suffer a spinal cord injury, you could file a claim against that driver’s insurance company for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. This case would require that you have evidence to prove the car’s driver was negligent in checking for nearby vehicles.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do for My Injury Claim?
Your injury would not have occurred without that negligent driver. You deserve compensation. When you hire one of the Tacoma personal injury attorneys at Daryl Graves Law, PLLC to help negotiate your claim settlement, you are hiring an ally whose focus is fighting for all of the compensation you are owed.
We can act as your representative when negotiating with the insurance company, helping with issues such as:
- Gathering evidence to prove the other party’s negligence
- Contacting witnesses to provide testimony to support your claim
- Preparing estimates of your current and future medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional damages
- Researching other methods of compensation aside from the primary insurance company
- Reviewing settlement offers and negotiating for a full and fair amount
Communicating with Your Attorney for Peace of Mind
When you have a lawyer from Daryl Graves Law, PLLC taking care of the details of your case, along with all of the correspondence with the insurance company, you can rest easier knowing a professional has your best interests at heart.
Many accident victims are reluctant to contact an attorney because they are wary of attorney fees. The majority of personal injury attorneys, including our lawyers, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you will not pay your lawyer unless you receive a settlement or judgment, in which case they earn a percentage of the final amount.
