Don’t Accept a Settlement Offer Immediately After a Car Accident

Car accidents can leave you in a difficult financial situation. If you abruptly find yourself dealing with considerable medical expenses and property damage, you may be tempted to accept financial help wherever you can get it. 

However, we highly discourage you from accepting the first settlement offer because it is likely to vastly underestimate the value of your losses. 

Instead, we encourage you to tell the party offering you a car accident settlement that you need to discuss the offer with an attorney. You can go on to schedule a free car accident case consultation with our representatives.

If you choose to work with our staff, we can:

We Can File Your Personal Injury Claim Before Your Statute of Limitations Expires

Wash. Rev. Code § 4.16.080(2) allows Washington State residents to take up to three years after a serious collision to file a personal injury claim against a liable party. You need to finalize and submit your paperwork by the third anniversary of your car accident if you want to retain the legal right to demand damages based on your losses.

Fortunately, you’re not working alone. Our car accident attorneys in Bothell can help you complete a claim with a comprehensive suite of evidence that meets or exceeds Washington State’s burden of proof.

You can discuss what this process looks like and how our team can stay on top of your filing deadlines during your free car accident case consultation.

We Use Evidence to Argue for the Support You Need

You cannot hold someone else accountable for your recent car accident unless you have evidence proving that they violated the duty of care that they owed you. Our team can connect you with professional investigators to give you the chance to secure the data necessary to make your case.

We can use several different types of evidence to argue that a liable party owed you a duty of care and then accidentally or purposefully violated that duty. The evidence that may play the most important role in your case can include:

• Electronic evidence, including cell phone and email data
• Physical debris
• Environmental damage
• Pictures from before and after an accident
• Video footage of the accident, including footage from security cameras and dash cameras
• Bystander statements
• Police reports and medical records
• Expert witness statements

Notably, the evidence most relevant to your recovery will vary depending on the circumstances that led to your accident. Once we have the most relevant evidence available to our team, we can analyze it and compile our findings into a comprehensive, appropriately formatted report. We can then submit that report to Washington State’s civil system and move your claim forward.

Filing a Personal Injury Claim Doesn’t Mean Going to Court

If the civil system moves your claim forward, don’t panic–you don’t immediately have to argue for car accident compensation in front of a civil judge. You and your Bothell, WA, car accident lawyer can instead summon a liable party for settlement negotiations.

Most car accident claims come to their natural conclusion during settlement negotiations. You can use these conversations to discuss the severity of your losses, what evidence you have of those losses’ values, and what compensation you want from a liable party. Our attorneys can keep conversations focused and prevent a liable party from minimizing your expenses.

If you can’t get a liable party to agree to provide you with a reasonable settlement, your personal injury claim gives you the right to take that party before a judge.

Then, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss the behaviors that led to your accident in front of a judge. Our team can prepare you for this process and represent you as proceedings commence.
