Each year about 500 people across Washington State lose their lives in traffic accidents. Thousands more are seriously injured, and it’s difficult to grasp what profound, long-term consequences these accidents can have on those involved. Whether an auto accident includes serious injury or loss of life, the aftermath of a vehicle crash can be extremely painful and enormously expensive. Personal injury law states that the responsible party is obligated to compensate the injured party for their negligence. You may be owed for:
Car accidents happen quickly, and the trauma of the moment can make it difficult to remember exactly what happened and why. Indeed, the actual cause may not be immediately clear to either driver, such as in the case of defective auto parts or poor road design or condition. For these reasons it’s important not to apologize for the accident even if you think you may have been at fault. You need to have an experienced car accident attorney collect all possible evidence and assemble the case to get a clear view of what really happened. There may have been multiple causes (like speeding and weather), and more than one person or entity could be partially responsible for the crash.
Car accidents often happen at high speeds and involve vehicles that weigh tons. It isn’t surprising that catastrophic injuries and even fatalities are a common result of auto collisions. While small injuries like cuts, bruises, and scrapes usually fade in a matter of days or weeks, other injuries could take months or years to heal, and others may be permanent. Some of the most common car accident injuries include:
These injuries can be painful, with recovery often extremely expensive. Costs for hospital stays, doctor visits, physical therapy, medical supplies and medication add up quickly, and injuries that keep you temporarily or permanently from your job make the financial situation even worse. And if you can no longer so some of the things you love, the cost is incalculable. A car accident attorney can help you get the compensation you need to return to your normal life as much and as quickly as possible.
What you do in the days and weeks after a car accident is just as important as what you do in the first minutes and hours. After calling for help for any injuries and collecting contact information from any witnesses or key participants, here are four important things to do to help secure justice and just compensation:
It’s common to feel overwhelmed after a car accident, especially if you’re mourning the loss of a loved one or if you’re trying to recover from painful physical injuries. Don’t let the task of seeking legal counsel and compensation fall by the wayside. Getting the settlement you deserve can help ease the stress of accident consequences, including keeping bills paid, repairing or replacing your vehicle, and continuing to run your household even if you aren’t working and receiving a paycheck.
