Auto accidents happen much more often than they should in King County and throughout the Seattle metropolitan area. Most of these collisions result from another party’s negligence or wrongdoing. The following are some facts and figures about Washington State car accidents from Washington State Annual Collision Summary:
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 Snoqualmie can help.
Our law firm can help you to seek compensation for the injuries that you’ve sustained in a crash, including both your economic and noneconomic costs. Types of injuries that are common in car accidents include:
In addition to physical injuries, a car accident victim will also likely suffer medical costs, property damage costs, and lost wages and a loss of earning capacity if their injuries are severe enough to prevent them from returning to work. Psychological injuries, such as depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, also commonly develop. Finally, a victim should be compensated for the value of their pain, suffering, and emotional distress.
Determining fault in a crash is important for filing a claim against the appropriate party and recovering damages. Typically, one of three parties is to blame in a crash:
