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;

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.

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.
