Washington Personal Injury Lawyers
Everyone knows that safety should come first -- but too often, it doesn't. Whether it's a car accident, a tainted meal or a catastrophic medical mistake, thousands of Americans suffer avoidable injuries every day due to someone else's carelessness or deliberate actions. The law calls the injuries that result "personal injuries," and those who cause personal injuries can be held legally and financially responsible for their actions with a Washington personal injury lawsuit.
Most people think of "injuries" as physical wounds, but personal injuries aren't just physical. They can also be monetary injuries, such as high medical bills or lost wages caused by an accident; emotional injuries like severe trauma or loss of a loved one; brain damage; or intangibles like facing life with a permanent disability. In fact, most people who file a personal injury lawsuit have more than one type of injury. Legally, they can recover damages -- payments -- for any of these injuries that they can prove. The amount plaintiffs can win varies by case, but as the Bernard Law Group's record shows, it can run into tens of millions of dollars. This money can help victims pay steep bills caused by an accident and keep people who can't work financially secure for years to come.
If you think you might be a victim of a personal injury, we strongly advise you to contact the Bernard Law Group quickly. All states maintain a time limit after which you simply can't sue; in Washington, that limit is usually three years from the date of the injury. In addition, time often destroys vital evidence, including all the documentation the incident generated, photos of the scene and of your injuries and testimony from any witnesses or participants. And victims of accidents involving large companies or insurers are sometimes subjected to aggressive or even dishonest demands to settle the case for less money than they deserve. Victims who agree to take a small monetary settlement or sign something they don't quite understand often find that they've unknowingly signed away their rights. Our experienced Seattle personal injury attorneys can protect your rights, help you build a solid case and work to win you the best possible financial result.
