Seattle/Tacoma Personal Injury Attorney

Personal injury may be caused by many types of accidents. Such injuries often involve complex legal, medical, or technical issues. Insurance companies work hard to limit their exposure or liability when a serious injury or death occurs. Their attorneys often vigorously fight every aspect of a claim. A skilled, aggressive attorney can often make the difference between generous compensation and virtual rejection of your claim. A prompt, thorough investigation is essential to the successful preparation of an injury claim. Any delay in investigating runs the risk of losing crucial information.

Victims of personal injury are entitled to financial compensation for their medical and property expenses, lost wages and incidental costs caused by the accident. In addition, they may be entitled to additional damage for future loss and expenses, pain and suffering, or other issues. If you are unaware of the full range of compensation the law provides, you surely will not receive it all.

If you are injured, you may be tempted to accept the first offer that comes along from an insurance company. This temptation can be especially strong if you are unable to work, or if you are facing large medical bills from your injury. It is important that you resist this temptation. While the amount they offer you may seem generous, it likely that the offer is far less than you need or are entitled to receive for your injuries. In fact, by accepting any money, you may be cutting yourself off from ever receiving any more-you may settle your case permanently without even knowing it.

In addition, settling quickly may mean that you don't know the full extent of your injuries. Some injuries take time to develop to their maximum extent. You may not know how badly you have been injured for a year or two after the accident. A quick settlement is seldom in your long-term best interest.
