Common Questions Regarding Car Accident Claims
Answer:
After a car accident, your safety is the priority. Move to a safe area if possible, call 911 to report the accident, and seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene by taking photos, gathering contact information from witnesses, and exchanging insurance details with the other driver. Finally, contact an experienced car accident lawyer to discuss your rights and next steps.
Answer:
In Washington State, you typically have three years from the date of the car accident to file a personal injury claim or a property damage claim. This is known as the statute of limitations.
Answer: In Washington State, you typically have three years from the date of the car accident to file a personal injury claim or a property damage claim. This is known as the statute of limitations.
Answer:
Yes, you can still file a claim in Washington State even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Washington follows a pure comparative negligence system, which allows you to recover damages regardless of your level of fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault, your total recovery will be reduced by 20%.
It’s important to have strong legal representation, as insurance companies may attempt to assign more fault to reduce your settlement. I can help gather evidence and advocate for your rights to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Contact me today to discuss your case.
Answer:
If the other driver is uninsured, you may still have options for compensation. Many insurance policies include uninsured motorist coverage that can help cover your damages. Additionally, you may be able to pursue a personal lawsuit against the driver. An attorney can help identify all possible avenues for recovery.
