Your Questions & Answer
Why do insurance companies blame injured motorcyclists for causing accidents?
Insurance companies often try to blame injured motorcyclists for causing accidents to decrease the amount of compensation they may have to pay. Washington State follows the concept of comparative negligence when determining how much compensation injured victims may be able to receive in personal injury cases. The amount the victim receives may be reduced by the percentage of fault they are assigned if they are found to be partially responsible for the accident. Subsequently, insurers often try to place more blame on the victim to avoid paying large claims.
What are considered catastrophic injuries?
Catastrophic injuries are typically any injury that leaves the accident victim permanently disabled and in need of lifelong care. Some qualifying injuries include spinal cord, amputations, and traumatic brain injuries. Catastrophic injuries often result from motorcycle or pedestrian accidents and can have a devastating effect on families. The exorbitant cost of caring for victims can quickly create a financial crisis for their families. Therefore, anyone who has suffered catastrophic injuries caused by negligence must hire a skilled Seattle personal injury lawyer who can protect their rights.
How long does a family have to file a wrongful death lawsuit?
The Washington state statute of limitations allows families of wrongful death victims up to three years to file a claim. If a wrongful death claim is filed after the three-year time limit has expired, the case will be thrown out by the court. Although three years seems like a long time, it can quickly pass. Additionally, witnesses may move, or their memories fade, making it challenging to prove your case. If you have tragically lost a close family member due to wrongful death, you must hire an experienced attorney immediately who will protect your rights.
Can a personal injury lawsuit still be settled out of court?
Often, when an insurance company is unwilling to negotiate with a personal injury lawyer, the next step is to file a lawsuit to try and recover compensation. However, many injured victims are unaware that even if a personal injury lawsuit is set to go to trial, it can still be settled out of court. A skilled personal injury lawyer can continue negotiating with the insurance provider to try and obtain a financial recovery that will sufficiently meet the client's needs.
