Decades of Experience Fighting for Tacoma Car Accident Victims
While you may utter a plethora of colorful words at the responsible driver after being hurt in a car accident, we have just one term for it: Negligence. Our lawyers are skilled at gathering evidence, developing a legal strategy, and proving the four essential elements of a claim based on negligence, which include:
Duty:
Drivers have a legal obligation to exercise care in operating their vehicles on Washington State roadways;
Breach:
A motorist breaches this duty by engaging in risky behavior behind the wheel, such as by speeding, using the phone, operating the radio, or ignoring traffic rules;
Causation:
There must be a link between the responsible driver’s actions and the accident which caused your injury; and,
Damages:
You suffered losses because of your injuries, and you are entitled to compensation for them.
Along with our finely tuned knowledge and legal skills, the Alliance Law Group has access to a team of experts to assist in proving these elements. We work with medical professionals, special investigators, financial advisers, and other experts to make these four elements clear.
Recovering Compensation for Your Losses
If you are confused about how to put a price tag on your suffering after a car accident, don’t fret: We know exactly which factors impact your compensation and what it takes to succeed in your claim. You will be working with an insurance company to seek:
- Costs related to medical treatment for your injuries;
- Lost wages if you cannot work due to your condition;
- Pain and suffering, which is a legal concept referring to how your injuries impact your quality of life;
- Losses based on your personal relationships; and,
- Other compensation depending on your unique situation.
However, keep in mind that there are some limitations on your compensation after a car accident, including:
Time Restrictions:
Washington’s statute of limitations requires you to file a lawsuit within three years, or you are forever barred from suing the negligent driver. The clock starts running on the day of the accident.
Comparative Negligence:
You don’t get to recover compensation if your own actions contribute to the car accident. The state law on comparative negligence will reduce your financial award by the percentage attributable to your fault.
