Injuries and Damages from a Car Accident

When thousands of pounds of metal collide at high speeds, the destruction can be tremendous. Property damage, physical injuries, psychological injuries, and permanent changes to one’s quality of life and life trajectory are all possible. Common injuries that result from serious car accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries;
• Internal injuries;
• Back, neck, and spine injuries;
• Soft tissue injuries;
• Bone fracture injuries;
• Bruises and lacerations;
• Burn injuries;
• Spinal cord injuries; and
• Crush and amputation injuries.

When a person is injured in a car accident, their harm does not end with their physical injury; instead, they may also incur high medical bills and rehabilitation costs, lost wages and a loss of earning capacity, a loss of benefits that would have been earned had they continued working, a diminished quality of life, and psychological harm in the form of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. 

Getting You the Settlement You Deserve After a Crash

When you work with our experienced Silver Firs car accident attorneys at the office of the Kahn Law Firm PLLC, we will work hard to get you the settlement that you deserve and that is inclusive of the full value of your economic and noneconomic damages. We do this by:

• Proving fault: Our process will begin with a thorough investigation into the cause of your accident and what went wrong to cause the crash. We will talk to eyewitnesses, review the police accident report, assess physical damage to vehicles, and bring in accident reconstruction and other experts. We build a solid case that proves that your accident would not have occurred but for the negligence of the other party. 
• Proving damages: We’ll work with experts to prove the full extent of damages you suffered and show why you are entitled to a certain settlement value. 

Aggressively Negotiating On Your Behalf.

Once a settlement offer is made by an insurance adjuster, we will review it and then enter into settlement negotiations. We are skilled negotiators who aren’t afraid to push back. We can threaten litigation when necessary.

How Do I Seek Financial Compensation After a Car Accident in Silver Firs, WA?

Washington is a fault state, or a “tort” state, for auto accident purposes. Accordingly, after a car accident, you can file an auto insurance claim either with your own auto insurer (known as a first-party claim) or through the at-fault driver’s auto insurer (known as a third-party claim). There are benefits and limitations to each approach that you should discuss with your car accident attorney.

When auto insurance payouts are insufficient to cover your losses, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. While there is no serious injury threshold to meet in Washington State to file a lawsuit against a driver, many car accident lawsuits occur when auto insurance limits prevent an injury victim from obtaining full compensation for significant losses. If you want more information about getting started on a lawsuit, our car accident lawyers in Silver Firs can help.
