Car Accident FAQs

  • How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Washington?
    In Washington, there is a statute of limitations for filing personal injury claims, generally three years from the car accident date. This timeframe applies to seeking compensatory damages for injuries, property damage, and other losses incurred. Prompt legal action is crucial to securing the evidence and testimony necessary to support your claim. Engaging with a car accident lawyer in Bellevue soon after the accident can help ensure all deadlines are met, and your legal options remain viable.
  • What compensation can I expect from a car accident claim?
    Compensation can vary significantly based on the specifics of your case. Generally, you can claim for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and punitive damages in severe cases. Our attorneys atCarpenter & Zuckerman will conduct a thorough review of your situation, evaluating all relevant factors, such as the extent of your injuries, impact on your life, and liability, to estimate potential compensation and build a strong claim tailored to your needs.
  • Should I speak to the insurance company after the accident?
    While you must report the accident to your insurance company, limiting your communication and avoiding providing detailed statements before consulting with a car accident attorney in Bellevue is advisable. Insurance companies may attempt to diminish your claim to reduce payouts. Our team can guide you in interactions with insurance firms, ensuring your rights are protected, and you are not pressured into accepting an unfair settlement.
  • Will my car accident claim go to court?
    While many car accident claims are resolved through settlements, some may necessitate litigation if a satisfactory agreement cannot be reached. With the expertise of 40 trial lawyers, Carpenter & Zuckerman is equipped to handle all aspects of litigation, from negotiations to courtroom proceedings. We aim to achieve the best outcome for you, whether that involves a favorable settlement or pursuing your interests in court.
