Car Accident Statute of Limitations in Washington State

The "Statute of Limitations" (SOL) is a law that sets a strict time limit on when a legal claim or action may be commenced. After the SOL has expired the legal action (lawsuit) is forever barred -- No Exceptions. In Washington State the SOL for many types of personal injury cases including car accidents is three (3) years from the date of the accident. However there are exceptions to this time limit depending upon the facts involved.

You should immediately consult with an experienced car accident lawyer to make sure you know when the statute expires in your car accident case. DO NOT WAIT TO CONSULT WITH OR HIRE AN ATTORNEY. Even though your SOL may not expire for a long time, you may still want to promptly hire a car accident attorney to protect or maximize the value of your claim and increase the odds of a favorable outcome.

In many cases the experienced car accident attorney who is hired early in the claims process can help you avoid mistakes that may harm your case and perform work to greatly enhance the value of your claim.

Dealing With The Insurance Company After Your Automobile Accident

Although insurance companies and many lawyers consider automobile accident claims routine, that just isn't true. Every car accident and every individual injured in an auto accident is unique. Seattle car accident attorney Christopher Davis knows that a wide variety of injuries can result from a car wreck. Auto accidents may be caused by the negligence on the part of another driver, someone hauling a trailer, a truck driver or trucking company, a motorcycle, or the design and condition of the road or highway.

Insurance companies want you to believe that handling auto accident claims is a simple matter that does not require the assistance of a personal injury attorney who specializes in MVAs. But you should know that insurance adjusters are trained to reduce the amount of a settlement that you are paid. The only way to make sure that you get a fair settlement or award is to have a Seattle car accident attorney who understands the insurance system, is well prepared and experienced in trying these cases in court, and of course, will do everything possible to fight for your rights.

Understanding Automobile Accident Injuries

Part of providing excellent legal services for victims of motor vehicle collisions is understanding their injuries (such as whiplash, back injuries, neck pain, shoulder injuries, etc.) and medical treatment (chiropractic, injections, physical therapy, massage, etc.) needs. Mr. Davis will often consult with medical experts from all over the country. These physicians may review medical records; examine clients; assess any relevant pre-accident medical history; or act as expert witnesses during trial. A complete understanding of the medical situation helps us to maximize client’s financial compensation for medical bills, injuries, etc.

Automobile Accident Statistics

There were an estimated 6,420,000 car accidents in the US in 2005. There were about 2.9 million car accident injury cases and 42,636 car accident deaths. An average of 115 persons die each day in car accidents in the United States -- one every 13 minutes. According to the World Health Organization about 3000 people die in car accidents each day worldwide.

Studies by the Insurance Research Council have shown on average, automobile accident injury claimants who hired a car accident lawyer received a settlement that was three and a half times better than they would have if they had tried to negotiate on their own.
