Types of Personal Injury Compensation Available

A personal injury claim allows you to seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover tangible, measurable losses that you incur as a result of your injuries. These include things like medical bills, property damage, and lost wages. They are easier to calculate because they are directly tied to specific monetary costs.

Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are harder to quantify. These involve losses tied to your quality of life, such as pain, emotional distress, or loss of enjoyment in activities. While economic damages focus on financial recovery, non-economic damages acknowledge the deeper emotional and psychological toll of your injuries.

Our personal injury attorneys in University Place can fight to get you full compensation for all economic and non-economic damages, including:

Medical expenses
Lost income
Reduced earning potential
Property damage
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

We are prepared to provide solutions-oriented representation for a wide range of personal injury claims. If you’re not sure whether you have a strong case, we encourage you to get in touch. Our team can review the details of what happened, determine who is liable, and review your options for recovering compensation.

Our team at Palace Law can assist you with many types of personal injury claims, including those involving:

Bicycle accidents. Due to the lack of protective barriers afforded by motor vehicles, bicyclists are more vulnerable to direct impact and are at a higher risk of sustaining severe injuries.
Brain injuries. Brain injuries can occur as a result of several types of accidents, such as car crashes and falls. Severe brain injuries can lead to cognitive impairments, memory loss, difficulties with concentration and decision-making, and even changes in behavior and personality. The impact on an individual's quality of life can be significant, affecting their ability to work, perform daily tasks, and enjoy activities they once loved.
Car accidents. If a car accident is caused by the negligence or reckless behavior of another driver, such as speeding, distracted driving, or running a red light, the victim may have a personal injury claim against that driver.
Dog bites. According to state law, a dog owner is strictly liable for any injuries caused by their dog biting another person, regardless of the dog's previous behavior or the owner's knowledge of its aggressive tendencies. This means that if a person is bitten by a dog in the state of Washington, they may have a legal right to seek compensation for damages such as medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages. However, it's important to note that the victim must be lawfully present in the location where the bite occurred and must not have provoked the dog.
Motorcycle accidents. Motorcyclists are vulnerable to catastrophic injuries in accidents, often requiring extensive medical treatment and long-term care. The lack of protective barriers and the smaller size of motorcycles make riders more susceptible to severe injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and fractures.
Pedestrian accidents. Pedestrians are more exposed to the impact of vehicular collisions and are at a greater risk of sustaining serious injuries. Even at lower speeds, accidents involving pedestrians can result in life-altering consequences, including head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and internal organ damage.
Slip and fall accidents. When someone slips, trips, or falls due to hazardous conditions like wet floors, uneven surfaces, inadequate lighting, or neglected property maintenance, the consequences can be devastating. Common injuries from slip and fall accidents include broken bones, sprains, head and spinal injuries, and even long-term disabilities. If it can be proven that the property owner failed to maintain a safe environment, knew about the hazardous conditions but did not address them, or should have reasonably foreseen the danger, the victim may have a valid legal claim.
Wrongful death. Wrongful death refers to when an individual's death is caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party. It is a tragic event that not only leads to the loss of a loved one but also imposes significant emotional and financial burdens on the surviving family members. Wrongful death claims aim to seek justice and compensation for the damages caused by the responsible party's actions or omissions. These claims typically cover a range of losses, including medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in University Place

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?

Our personal injury lawyers in University Place generally take these cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and don’t owe us anything unless we help you win your case. Our legal fees are a percentage of the compensation we help you recover.

Can I Still Recover Damages If I Was Partially Responsible for an Accident on Cirque Drive?

Under the state of Washington’s pure comparative negligence rules, you are eligible to recover damages regardless of how much blame you carry – whether it's 1% or even 99%. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you by the court.

For example:

If you are found to be 25% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 25%. If your total damages are $100,000, you would receive $75,000.
If the court determines you are 75% at fault, you can still recover 25% of your damages. If your total damages are $100,000, you would receive $25,000.

How Long Does It Take to Settle a Personal Injury Claim?

The timeline for resolving a claim depends on factors like the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and negotiations with insurance companies. Some cases settle within months, while others, particularly those that proceed to court, may take substantially longer.

Our goal is to get you the full and fair compensation you are entitled to under the law, which can sometimes be achieved through negotiation. In other cases, we may need to take your case to trial to secure a fair outcome. Our team can keep you updated on case progress and timelines from start to finish.

Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Cases in University Place

In Washington State, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of the injury. This means you typically have three years from the date you were injured to take legal action. Failing to file within this timeframe will usually result in your case being dismissed, so it’s a good idea to get legal advice as soon as possible. The sooner you reach out to our team, the sooner we can start investigating your case and preserving evidence.

I had an outstanding experience working with Ciana on a personal injury matter. Without her expertise, I would have never realized that I even had a case.

She guided me through every step with professionalism and care, ensuring I understood the process and felt supported. Thanks to her diligence and expertise, what could have been overlooked became a well-handled case. I highly recommend Ciana to anyone needing a knowledgeable and dedicated legal professional.
