Washington follows a comparative fault system. If you are found to be partially at fault for an accident, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our process begins with a thorough investigation, which includes obtaining the police report, interviewing witnesses, and collecting initial evidence such as photographs of the accident scene and vehicle damage.
We then meticulously document all medical treatments, including doctor's visits, therapy, and medication, along with any documented lost wages. Washington has a statute of limitations for filing personal injury claims, and we ensure all legal deadlines are strictly adhered to. Our attorneys present a detailed demand to the responsible party's insurance company, outlining the full scope of your losses.
