Kennewick Personal Injury Attorney
No matter how much care we might use to try to avoid hurting others in our day-to-day lives, a person cannot guarantee that he or she won’t end up being injured as a result of someone else’s careless or reckless conduct. Fortunately, Washington law allows negligent individuals, companies, and government agencies to be held accountable for their failure to use the proper degree of care in their dealings with other people, so if you were hurt in an accident, please call a Kennewick personal injury attorney to learn more about your legal options going forward.
Types of Personal Injury Claims
Personal injury claims are a type of civil lawsuit, wherein injured parties attempt to recover monetary compensation from the person, company, or agency responsible for their accidents. While a number of different types of accidents fall under the category of a personal injury claim, most are based on:
- Car accidents;
- Truck accidents;
- Motorcycle collisions;
- Bicycle accidents;
- Pedestrian accidents;
- Dog bites and other animal attacks;
- Injuries caused by defective consumer products; and
- Slip and fall accidents.
Although these types of claims have a variety of things in common, they do each come with their own particular requirements, so if you were hurt in an accident, it is important to speak with a personal injury attorney before proceeding with your claim.

Recovering Monetary Compensation
Being involved in an accident can be expensive, which can be particularly frustrating for those who were not at fault for their injuries. Fortunately, accident victims are not forced to shoulder the financial burden of paying for medical bills and property damage on their own. Instead, injured parties who can prove that someone else caused or contributed to an accident could recover compensation for these losses, as well as lost wages, and even their pain and suffering. However, this is only possible for those who build and present a strong case and who comply with all necessary procedural rules.
Important Deadlines
In every state, plaintiffs whose injuries are the result of someone else’s negligent, reckless, or wrongful conduct can recover compensation for their losses from the at-fault party, but only if they follow certain rules. For instance, in Washington, plaintiffs have three years from the date of their accident to file a claim against the at-fault party who caused their injuries. Those who fail to abide by these rules will almost always have their case barred by the court, meaning that they could miss out on their only chance of monetary recovery.
