Types of Cases We Handle

Types of Personal Injury Compensation Available in Vancouver, WA

Accurately calculating damages in a personal injury claim is crucial for securing the full financial support you need to recover from your injuries. Overlooking certain losses or underestimating the impact of your injury can significantly affect your quality of life moving forward. Our experienced Vancouver personal injury attorneys can help you identify every aspect of your damages and develop a strong case to seek the compensation you deserve.

Below are the types of compensation you may be eligible for in a personal injury claim in Vancouver, WA:

Medical expenses. You may be compensated for costs related to medical treatment, such as hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, medication, and any ongoing care needs. This also includes travel expenses for medical appointments and future treatment estimates for long-term injuries.
Lost wages. If your injury has caused you to miss work, you may recover compensation to cover lost income. This includes wages already lost and any impact on your future earning potential if the injury affects your ability to return to your previous job or work altogether.
Pain and suffering. Beyond quantifiable financial losses, injuries often cause physical pain and emotional distress. Compensation for pain and suffering acknowledges the toll an injury takes on your overall well-being, covering physical discomfort, anxiety, depression, and loss of enjoyment in daily activities.
Property damage. If your personal property was damaged in the incident – such as your vehicle in a car accident – you might be entitled to repair or replacement costs. Property damage claims can also cover items like cell phones, clothing, or other belongings affected during the incident.
Disability and rehabilitation. If your injury leads to a permanent disability, you may receive compensation for specialized equipment, home modifications, and other expenses related to accommodating your new lifestyle. Rehabilitation costs, like therapy or retraining for new job skills, are also included.
Loss of consortium. Injuries that disrupt relationships with family members or intimate partners may qualify for compensation under loss of consortium. This acknowledges the emotional toll and strain your injury places on personal relationships.
Wrongful death damages. If a loved one loses their life due to negligence, surviving family members can pursue damages for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and financial contributions the deceased would have provided.

Types of Personal Injury Claims We Handle in Vancouver, WA

Our trial attorneys have a deep understanding of the complexities involved in many types of personal injury claims. If you’re not sure whether you have a case for compensation, we urge you to reach out and discuss your situation with us. After listening to your story and determining whether you have a claim, we can start thoroughly investigating what happened, gathering vital evidence, and building a strong strategy tailored to your unique situation.

Our team at Palace Law can assist with personal injury claims involving:

Bicycle accidents. Bicycle accidents frequently occur due to negligent drivers. If a motorist’s failure to yield the right of way, distracted driving, or otherwise reckless behavior resulted in a collision, you may have grounds for a claim.
Brain injuries. A brain injury can have life-altering consequences, affecting everything from physical abilities to cognitive functions and emotional well-being. You may have a personal injury claim if your brain injury was caused by an accident or unsafe conditions resulting from someone else’s negligence.
Car accidents. Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury claims. If the crash is a result of another driver’s negligence – such as speeding, texting while driving, or disregarding traffic signals – you might be entitled to pursue compensation.
Dog bites. Washington follows a strict liability rule for dog bites. This means the owner is typically responsible for any injuries caused by their dog, regardless of whether the dog has previously shown aggressive behavior. If a dog bites you in Vancouver, you were in a lawful location, and you did not provoke the dog, you might have a valid personal injury claim to recover damages.
Motorcycle accidents. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable in accidents due to their lack of physical protection. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash caused by another driver’s negligent or reckless actions, such as failing to see you in a blind spot or driving under the influence, you could have a claim.
Pedestrian accidents. Pedestrians hit by vehicles may suffer serious injuries and often have grounds for a personal injury claim. These accidents frequently happen at crosswalks when drivers fail to yield to individuals on foot. If a motorist is speeding, distracted, or under the influence and strikes a pedestrian, they can be held liable for damages.
Slip and fall accidents. You may have a slip and fall claim if you suffered injuries after falling on someone else’s property due to hazardous conditions that the property owner failed to address. Common causes include wet floors, poor lighting, uneven surfaces, or icy walkways that weren’t properly cleared. Washington law holds property owners accountable if they knew – or reasonably should have known – about the danger and didn’t take action to fix it.
Wrongful death. “Wrongful death” refers to when someone loses their life due to another party’s negligence or intentional actions. This could include fatalities from vehicular accidents. Certain surviving family members may pursue a claim to recover financial and emotional damages, such as loss of income, medical expenses, and loss of companionship. State law allows specific parties, including the personal representative of the deceased’s estate and immediate surviving relatives, to file these claims.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Vancouver, WA

Will My Vancouver Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?

Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlements without needing to go to court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may go to trial. We are fierce negotiators who can work to obtain a just settlement. We are also effective litigators and can provide honest advice on when it may be in your best interest to go to court, especially if the insurance company refuses to offer an acceptable settlement amount.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire an Attorney for My Personal Injury Claim in Vancouver, WA?

Our personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don't pay anything upfront. Instead, our firm takes a percentage of your settlement or court award. In other words, you owe our firm nothing unless we win!

Can I Still Seek Damages If I Was Partially Responsible for an Accident in Vancouver, WA?

Thanks to the state of Washington’s comparative negligence laws, you can still seek and secure some compensation even if you were partially responsible for an accident. Under the state’s system, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if you’re found to be 20% responsible for the incident, your total damages will be reduced by that amount, meaning you would recover 80% of the compensation you’re entitled to. You can pursue partial compensation even if you are more than 50% to blame for the accident, though, again, your compensation will be reduced by your level of fault.

Determining fault can be complex, and insurance companies may attempt to shift more blame onto you. We are familiar with these tactics and are prepared to fight for the best possible outcome, even when you share responsibility for an accident.

What Should I Expect During My Initial Consultation?

During your free consultation, we will discuss the details of your accident, your injuries, and any evidence you’ve already collected. We can explain how Washington law applies to your case and outline the legal process. Our team will also be able to determine whether you have a strong personal injury claim and advise whether we’re prepared to take your case.

Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims in Vancouver, WA

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in the state of Washington is generally three years from the date of the injury. This means you must file your claim within three years of the date of your accident.

Missing this deadline will likely prevent you from recovering any compensation, so don’t wait to start the legal process. Getting in touch with us promptly gives our Vancouver personal injury lawyers more opportunity to preserve evidence and contact witnesses while their memories are fresh.

We can help you explore your legal options when you suffer life-altering harm due to negligence. Call (253) 544-5935 or contact us online today.
