What do distracted driving accidents, sideswipes, and head-on collisions have in common? They, like most other car accidents, all stem from someone else’s negligence.
Fortunately, that negligence gives you the right to hold a liable driver financially responsible for the losses you sustained in a recent accident. You can work with a Tacoma car accident lawyer to start building your claim.
Phillips Law Firm has secured hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements on behalf of its personal injury clients since the firm’s opening.
Our Tacoma personal injury lawyers can represent you throughout your fight for financial aid, making it that much harder for insurers and liable parties to deny you support. You can book a free car accident case consultation today.
Wait to Accept a Car Accident Settlement
It can cost a lot of money to recover from a serious car accident. However, you don’t have to take sole responsibility for the affiliated bills. You have every right to hold another person’s insurer accountable for your financial recovery.
In some cases, the person responsible for your car accident (or their insurance company, usually) may immediately offer you what’s known as a settlement or an amount of money that, ideally, will account for the cost of your recovery. While their first offer may seem generous, our Tacoma car accident attorneys often recommend that you wait to accept them.
Why wait? Unfortunately, these offers rarely account for the full value of your losses. Most of the time, liable parties and insurers make these offers in hopes that you won’t come back asking for the actual support you need to recover. We encourage you to share a settlement offer with an attorney so you can determine whether or not you need to go back to the negotiating table.

Let Tacoma Car Accident Lawyers Talk With Insurers on Your Behalf
It’s not always easy to navigate the complex world of fault and insurance policies in the wake of a serious collision. Insurers will often take advantage of your stress and disorganization to offer you insufficient settlements or even deny an insurance claim outright.
If you want to get ahead of these attempts to complicate your financial recovery, why not work with an experienced attorney? Phillips Law Firm has decades of experience helping clients file insurance claims and speaking with insurance claims adjusters.
That experience can help us identify an insurer’s attempts to minimize your losses or deny your claim. We can subsequently fight back and make sure you have the chance to ask for the financial aid you deserve. If an insurer won’t cooperate, we can take them and a liable party to civil court on your behalf.

We Can File Your Claim Before Your Statute of Limitations Expires
Washington State breaks down its personal injury statute of limitations in Wash. Rev. Code § 4.16.080(2). This statute states that anyone interested in filing a personal injury claim in the wake of an accident needs to complete their claim within three years of the accident in question.
In other words, you have until the third anniversary of your car accident to take legal action against the person responsible for your losses (or their insurance company). If you miss your filing deadline, you put your right to financially recover at risk.
The best way to stay ahead of your case’s statute of limitations is to ask an attorney to help you manage your filing timeline.
