Seattle Auto Accident Attorney

Frequently Asked Questions

Can accident reconstruction help me?
Accident reconstruction is a useful tool for an auto accident lawyer. By reconstructing the accident, we can determine what the actual cause of the accident was and how to prove that it was the other driver’s actions that led to the accident. This is invaluable in filing a claim and collecting compensation in an auto accident case.

What is vehicular manslaughter?
Vehicular manslaughter is a criminal offense that involves a driver causing a motor vehicle accident which leads to the death of another driver or to a passenger. This may occur through negligence, recklessness, disobeying a traffic law or may be due to drunk driving. Our attorneys take on vehicular manslaughter cases for clients in order to hold the driver responsible for the loss of your family member. We can do this by filing a wrongful death claim and working to prove their liability in the accident.

How much is my auto accident claim worth?
This will depend upon your particular case, the extent of the injuries suffered, the extent of property damage, the cost of your medical bills, whether you have lost wages from being unable to work, and emotional pain and suffering. A lawyer can review your particular situation in order to determine what your claim may be worth, and can then pursue this by taking immediate legal action.

Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?
It is never a good idea to discuss the auto accident with the other driver’s insurance adjuster, as they are most likely just trying to get information that proves your liability in the accident and clears their client’s name. Instead, consult a Seattle auto accident attorney and let a legal professional handle all communication with the insurance company – so you have the best chance of obtaining maximum compensation.

How can a lawyer help me?
A lawyer can help you by determining the value of your claim, by getting all information and paperwork prepared to file a claim, by handling all communication with the insurance company or companies involved, by negotiating a just settlement with the insurance company and by litigating your case in civil court if needed. All these actions are carried out in an effort to ensure that you receive the compensation that you are entitled to.
