White Center Car Accident Lawyer
Situated between West Seattle and Burien lies the unincorporated community of White Center. Do not let the community’s population of approximately 13,495 people (according to the 2010 U.S. Census) fool you, though: White Center’s location in King County (where nearly half of all traffic collisions in the State of Washington occur) means that a serious car wreck or other motor vehicle collision can befall residents of White Center just as easily as such an event could occur in other parts of the state.
The White Center car accident lawyers at Khan Injury Law, PLLC are all-too-familiar with the tragic results of car wrecks caused by another’s careless behavior behind the wheel: expensive medical bills, reductions in income, and lingering mental or emotional trauma can all take a toll on your own well being and that of your family and loved ones. Your car accident and resultant injuries may leave you unable to work and provide for your family and may limit your ability to engage in activities with your spouse and/or children that you once enjoyed. For this reason, our firm is committed to helping you and others injured in a White Center car wreck achieve justice and hold careless or reckless drivers accountable for their actions.
Succeeding in Your White Center Car Wreck Case
While most car wrecks that occur in White Center are the result of careless or reckless behavior by one or more drivers, this does not mean that you or your loved one is guaranteed to receive compensation for your injuries. In order to succeed in your case, you must show that it is more likely than not true:
- That the at-fault driver was obligated under general legal principles to drive his or her car in a reasonably careful and prudent manner;
- That the at-fault driver breached this duty by instead choosing to engage in one or more careless acts or behavior (such as by speeding, texting while driving, or driving while impaired by drugs and/or alcohol);
- That the at-fault driver’s behavior or conduct not only contributed to the occurrence of the crash but also the injuries you suffered. For example, if another driver caused a crash and you sustained minor injuries in that crash, but while at the hospital you contracted a serious infection due to the hospital’s negligence, the at-fault driver would not likely be responsible for any losses and expenses attributable to the infection; and
- That a monetary damages award in a specified amount would be sufficient to compensate you for the harm you suffered. As the victim in a White Center car wreck, it is your responsibility to allege and prove that you suffered harm as well as the amount of monetary damages necessary to address your past and future costs.
These factual propositions are best established through your own testimony as well as the testimony of eyewitnesses who may have observed the crash as well as through the presentation of evidence such as reports, diagrams, photographs, the results of reconstruction experiments, and other similar pieces of objective evidence. While having testimony and evidence admitted in a lawsuit in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington may seem daunting for most car crash victims, an experienced and knowledgeable car wreck attorney can not only help ensure essential testimony and evidence is properly admitted, but your attorney can do so in a persuasive and understandable manner. For this reason, seeking help from Khan Injury Law, PLLC as soon as possible following your car wreck can make the difference in the outcome of your case. Contact us right away.
Once you have been injured in a White Center car accident, you are likely to have many questions about your legal rights and the path forward. For example, you may wonder:
- How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit? Washington’s statute of limitations requires that car accident lawsuits be filed within two years of the date of your accident. With very few exceptions, a lawsuit filed more than two years after the date of the accident will be dismissed as being untimely filed.
- Can I recover compensation if I am to blame for the accident? In Washington, even if you are primarily to blame for the occurrence of your White Center accident, you may still be able to recover some compensation from another party who also acted carelessly. The monetary damages you receive will reflect the proportion of fault attributable to the other at-fault party.
