Car accidents can upend your life in an instant. It’s overwhelming, from the shock of the crash to the stress of medical bills, lost wages, and out-of-pocket expenses. At Snohomish Law Group, we understand how a car accident can impact your well-being and financial stability.
That’s why we’re committed to fighting for the compensation you deserve—based on results, not empty promises.
Establishing Driver Liability in Washington State
Most car accidents result from driver negligence. To prove this in court, you must demonstrate four key elements: duty of care, breach of that duty, causation, and damages.
For example, a driver who texts while behind the wheel breaches their duty to drive safely. If their distraction leads them to run a stop sign and hit another car, they are likely liable for the victim’s injuries.
Successful claims often result in compensation for both economic and non-economic damages:
- Economic damages include medical bills, lost wages, and other direct financial impacts.
- Noneconomic damages, such as pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment of life, reflect the emotional toll an accident can take.
Time is Limited – Act Now
In Washington, you have three years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. While that might seem like plenty of time, evidence can quickly disappear, and memories fade.
Insurance companies often begin building their defense at the scene, so consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
At Snohomish Law Group, we work swiftly to investigate your case, gathering eyewitness accounts, debris analysis, and other expert opinions to support your claim.
