Car Accident Attorneys in Tacoma, WA

Car accidents are complicated legal matters involving several parties and many moving parts. Not only must you deal with the other driver(s) involved in the wreck, but you also must deal with insurance companies. Below is a brief outline of the parties involved in car accident cases, as well as the damages to which you may be entitled and other pertinent information.

The Many Parties Involved in Car Accident Cases

There are a number of parties involved in a car accident in addition to the drivers involved. For example, your attorney will communicate with the car insurance companies. Washington is an at-fault car insurance state, meaning injured drivers can recover compensation from the other driver’s insurer. In addition to notifying your insurer of a wreck, be sure to contact the other driver’s insurance company.

It is possible that you will have to speak with any law enforcement officers who responded to the scene and medical staff who may have provided treatment. This may be the case if you suffer serious injuries and must establish the cause of the accident, that your injuries are accident-related and the extent of your damages, including medical bills.

Recovering Car Accident-related Damages in Tacoma

Each car accident is a unique case, and drivers may suffer various injuries and damages. You may be entitled to recover compensation that pays for your medical expenses. These expenses often include costs associated with surgery, hospitalization, doctor visits, medications, physical therapy and more. Other damages you may pursue in your car accident liability claim may include lost wages, as well as pain and suffering damages.

If the other driver involved in the car accident was uninsured, you may recover compensation from your own insurance policy, depending on the coverage you have. For example, you may recover from your uninsured motorist insurance or your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. The former provides compensation if the other driver is uninsured, while the latter provides compensation for medical expenses, regardless of fault.

Further, if the other driver fails to compensate you for your damages, the state of Washington allows you to report uncompensated damages within 180 days of the collision. If the other driver does not compensate you, the state may suspend the person’s driver’s license.

Talk to an attorney to go over the various types of damages to which you may be entitled, as well as the avenues available to you to recover compensation.

Maximum dedication from start to finish. I don't know where to begin. To sum it up in short words, STRONGLY RECCOMEND. Everyone that I was engaged with seemed to be very experienced, professional, friendly, and straight to the point. I'm telling you Daryl and all his associates will help you to any extent they can. If you find yourself in a compromising position, these are the people you want on your side. I did a lot of "shopping around" and Daryl was the most affordable, and compassionate about his work. I will save you the days of phone calls and meetings, no need to look further. Daryl Graves, is simply the best.

First off let me say I have never been so scared in my life as when I got arrested and charged with two felonies. What's worst of all is the crimes I was accused of I did not commit. I was facing five years behind bars minimum. I was given a public defender which I didn't hear from at all for a whole week. Thus starting my quest to find a good lawyer. I needed to find a lawyer I felt confident would represent me well. I went to seven different lawyers accompanied by my brother, before speaking to Mr. Graves. I heard all similar things from the seven previous lawyers. They all seemed more interested in getting paid then proving my innocence. My first meeting with Mr. Graves we spoke for about two hours about my options and what his plan of attack would be. I felt very comfortable in his skills, ability and experience. My brother who accompanied me during this process felt Mr. Graves was the best for the job. My case dragged on for almost a year and each step of the way Mr. Graves kept me updated. He was very prepared for different scenarios that might have risen and gathered as much information about the case as he could. After almost a whole year of dealing with my case it ended with a dismissal! I could not have been more joyous and relieved and I owed it all to Daryl Graves. If your looking for a lawyer with grit and honesty Mr graves is someone highly worth considering. Lastly, on a personal note, I was very impressed with him not only as a lawyer but as a human being.
