A car accident can strike at any time. Maybe you were pulling out of the grocery store parking lot when someone rear ended you, or possibly you were sideswiped while travelling down the highway. Regardless of how the accident happens, you are probably shaken up and unsure of what steps to take next.
In Washington, injured motorists can receive compensation when someone else is responsible for the collision. But you will probably need an Everett, WA car accident lawyer to help you fully realize the maximum amount of compensation possible.

Negligence can take many forms, including:
Finding proof of negligence can be tricky, especially if the other driver denies doing anything wrong. In that case, accident victims usually need the help of an attorney who can search for evidence of wrongdoing.
For example, as part of our investigation, we can:

Over and over, we have seen motorists make simple mistakes in the hours and days following a collision that cost them money. They make simple mistakes that ultimately hamper their ability to get the most favorable settlement they are entitled to.
