What is my case worth?
The value of your personal injury or wrongful death claim depends on many factors such as the severity of your injuries when you will be able to return to full-time work, and what past medical bills have been incurred at the time of settlement. Some personal injury and wrongful death claims are worth millions of dollars, but others are worth very little. It is hard to determine the value without consulting personal injury attorneys experienced in personal injury settlements.
Do I have a personal injury case?
As previously mentioned, every personal injury case is different. The only way to determine if you have valid personal injury claims against another party for your injuries sustained from an accident or incident is through contacting our experienced Seattle Injuries Law firm today. If it is determined by personal injury attorneys in our personal Injury Law firm that you may have a personal injury case, they will see to it that every step of the personal injury claims process is handled with care and diligence.
Can I be compensated for pain and suffering?
Almost every personal injury case has personal injury damages which include compensation for physical pain, mental anguish, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, medical bills paid at settlement or trial plus future medical care not covered by insurance. However, your prior personal injuries can impact how much you will be compensated for pain and suffering. The more injured that you are now over past injuries the higher amount you can receive in personal injury damages.
Can I be compensated for damaged personal property?
The personal injury attorneys in our personal injury law firm handle many cases where individuals are injured because of another’s negligence. Personal injuries not only impact the victims’ personal lives but also their personal property. If personal items were lost or destroyed due to someone else’s actions, you may have a claim for damages against the negligent party to replace your personal belongings.
It is important that personal injury lawyers are consulted before moving forward with any legal claims for compensation. Once you have contacted an attorney, if they determine that you do indeed have a case, they will help you every step of the way throughout your personal injury claim.

What do personal injury attorneys charge?
Personal injury attorneys in our personal injury law firm take personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning that there are no legal fees unless a personal injury settlement is won. This allows individuals who have been injured to hire an attorney without taking money from savings or home equity loans. If the personal injury case does not result in a personal injury settlement, personal injury attorneys in our personal Injury Law firm will not receive any payment for their services.
Once you have hired a personal injury lawyer to represent your claim, we will work diligently and vigorously to ensure that maximum compensation is received.

How long will it take to settle my personal injury case?
Every personal injury claim is different. Some personal injury cases do settle quickly while others can take several months or years depending on the injuries and how complicated a personal injury settlement is. It is important that personal injury attorneys are consulted early in the personal injury claim before evidence has been lost, memories fade and witnesses disappear.
How much compensation can I expect for my personal injuries?
In most personal injury cases, damages are paid according to a monetary amount. While it is hard to determine what each case will result in, personal injury damages which include compensation for personal injuries sustained in an accident include pain and suffering, future medical care, both mental and physical, property damage and sometimes lost wages or loss of earning capacity.
What personal injury cases does your personal Injury Law firm handle?
The personal Injury Attorneys in our law firm handle all types of personal injury cases.
