What Damages Can You Recover After a Car Accident in Washington?
After a car accident, you might suffer various losses and expenses. If another driver was at fault, they could be held financially responsible for the costs you incurred.
You may be able to recover economic and non-economic damages, including, but not limited to:
- Lost wages
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
How Long Will It Take to Resolve My Car Accident Claim?
Because every car accident case is unique, there isn't a simple answer to how long the process will take.
One of the first steps is filing a claim with the at-fault driver's insurance company. It will then begin an investigation into the accident to determine whether or not their policyholder was responsible for the collision.
After the insurance company's investigation, it will go into negotiations with you and your Kitsap County attorney. Often, these companies focus on protecting their financial interests and will do what they can to pay out as little as possible or nothing at all. This is why it's crucial to have a lawyer with you who will be focused on protecting your best interests. At Glisson & Morris, that is exactly what we will do for you.
If you, your lawyer, and your insurance company are unable to negotiate a fair settlement, you might be able to pursue a lawsuit court. However, this can increase the time it takes to complete your case, as a judge or jury will decide on the outcome.
