Types of Car Accident Cases We Work On

With decades of combined legal experience behind our name, our Silverdale car accident attorneys have seen it all. Types of car accident cases that we work on include:

Head-on crashes. Head-on crashes are by far the deadliest type of crash.
Rollover crashes. Like head-on collisions, rollover accidents are uncommon, but deadly when they do occur.
Multi-vehicle crashes. Crashes involved multiple vehicles–i.e. pile-ups–can be complicated and make it difficult to determine fault.
Single-vehicle crash. If you’ve been in a crash that only involved your car, we can help you to determine whether or not someone else could be held liable.
Rear-end crashes. While most people assume that the rear driver is always to blame in a rear-end collision, this isn’t necessarily true.
Side-swipe, T-bone accident, intersection accidents, and more. We work on all car accident cases and feel confident in our ability to represent you.

You Deserve to Be Compensated

When you or a loved one has been in a crash that’s caused by the negligence of another party, you deserve compensation. Our lawyers in Silverdale will aggressively advocate for your right to compensation for:

Your past and future medical expenses related to your car accident injuries;
The value of your lost wages and loss of earning capacity;
Property damages costs you’ve incurred;
The value of your pain, suffering, and emotional distress; and
Any other economic or noneconomic injuries you’ve suffered.

We improve your chances of recovering your full compensation award by working hard to investigate your case and gather evidence of the other party’s fault, accurately and completely calculating your damages, and aggressively represent you during the claims negotiations process. While most car accident claims settle out of court, our lawyers have litigation experience.

How Do I Seek Financial Compensation After a Car Accident in Silverdale, 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 Silverdale can help.
