What is Personal Injury?

Personal injury refers to any harm or damage caused to an individual’s body, emotions, or reputation. The injury is often a result of someone else’s negligence, carelessness, or intentional actions, and personal injury victims may be entitled to compensation for their damages. An injury law firm can evaluate the case and determine if there is a valid claim. A WA personal injury lawyer will gather relevant information and provide an assessment of the potential outcome. They provide the necessary resources to advocate for victims to receive compensation for their losses.

What are Washington Personal Injury Laws?

Washington personal injury laws include contributory fault laws, which play a significant role in determining damages in a personal injury case. The legal system follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning that the amount of damages you can recover will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. Washington negligence laws demand certain elements to make a successful personal injury claim, including duty, breach of duty, cause in fact, proximate cause, and damages. The statute of limitations demands that personal injury claims be filed within 3 years from the day you were injured.

What is Leaving the Scene of an Accident in Washington State?

Leaving the scene of an accident in Washington denotes a situation where a driver involved in a collision departs without providing assistance or reporting any personal injuries, fatalities, or property damage. Under RCW 46.52.020, the driver has a duty in case of personal injury or death or damage to attended vehicle or other property. Penalties for leaving the scene of an accident can be severe, including jail time and fines.

What is the Washington State Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury?

The Washington statute of limitations offers three years following a personal injury to file a lawsuit. Various scenarios can impact the application of the statute of limitations, such as underage victims, the discovery rule, and evasion of justice. The statute of limitations encourages timely dispute resolution and grants plaintiffs adequate time to discover their injuries, ascertain the full extent of their injuries, and determine who might be legally responsible.

What If I’m At Fault for the Accident?

While you have the right to pursue financial compensation from the at-fault party and insurance company for your car accident, pedestrian accident, or other injury claim, Washington State law allows you to recover damages even when you’re at-fault or partially at-fault. The State uses comparative negligence law, which means whatever you’re awarded will be reduced by the percentage you’re at fault for the accident. For example, if a judge rules you’re 25% responsible for the car accident, your award will be reduced by that amount.

Having a personal injury lawyer by your side can ensure that you aren’t blamed for more of the car accident than you should be. The legal team at Anderson Law Injury Attorneys will gather evidence, such as:

Physical evidence
Witness testimony
Photos, videos, security, and dashcam footage
The car accident report or police report
Medical records and doctors’ reports
