Do You Need a Kennewick Personal Injury Lawyer After an Accident?
While every accident is different, having a Kennewick personal injury attorney on your side consistently leads to stronger outcomes. You particularly need a lawyer if any of the following situations apply:
- Your injuries required more than one medical visit.
- You missed work due to your injuries.
- The insurance company or defendant disputes fault.
- Multiple parties were involved.
- An insurer has already made you a settlement offer.
Any of these factors means significant money is at stake, and the insurance company may try to underpay you. The most reliable way to know what your case is worth is to have a lawyer review your situation and analyze your losses.
Proving Fault in a Washington Personal Injury Case
Winning a personal injury claim requires proof of four elements. You must show that the defendant owed you a duty of care, that they breached that duty, that the breach caused your injuries, and that you suffered damages as a result. Each element requires strong supporting evidence.
Jacobs and Jacobs builds that proof piece by piece. Our attorneys establish the duty owed based on your relationship with the defendant, whether driver-to-driver or business-to-customer. We document the breach with evidence such as police reports, witness accounts, photographs, and video footage. We link the breach to your injuries with your medical records and treatment history, and we prove your damages with bills, wage statements, and expert projections of your future needs.
Washington’s Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Lawsuits
Under RCW 4.16.080, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Washington. If the statute of limitations expires, the court will almost certainly dismiss your case. Three years can pass quickly when you are focused on recovery, so speak with a Kennewick personal injury attorney as early as possible.
