Our Bellevue motorcycle accident lawyers are your fiercest advocates. We fight for justice, and we don’t quit when pursuing the settlement or verdict you deserve. Call Herschensohn Law at (206) 588-4344 for help in protecting your rights.
Seeking Compensation After a Motorcycle Accident in Bellevue, Washington
Motorcycle accidents can cause life-altering, and even deadly, injuries. If you were injured in an accident, our Bellevue personal injury lawyers can handle all the details of your case.
Motorcycle accident victims can recover compensation for economic losses, such as:
- Medical expenses, including your hospital stay, surgery, rehabilitation, and costs related to your care, such as transportation to and from appointments, domestic help, or equipment to assist you in daily living
- Property replacement or repair, including your motorcycle or any personal property damaged in the accident
- Income you lost during recovery
- Loss of future earnings if you’re unable to generate the same income you made before the injury
You may also recover non-economic damages, which are more subjective and don’t come with a set price, such as:
- Mental anguish, such as anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- The physical pain and suffering you felt as a result of your injuries
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Loss of life enjoyment if your injuries stop you from participating in hobbies or activities you once loved
If you lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, please accept our condolences. In Washington, certain individuals may pursue compensation in the case of wrongful death. Compensation can cover many economic and non-economic losses.
Our Bellevue motorcycle accident attorneys have helped hundreds of crash victims. We know what to look for as we help you identify all of your losses. It often becomes an emotional journey when you start to realize the impact one accident has had on your life, and we’re here to help you through that whether you’re the victim or the loved one of a victim.

Statute of Limitations in Bellevue, WA, To File a Personal Injury Lawsuit
If negotiations with the insurance company do not result in the settlement you deserve, our team of lawyers may recommend that you file a personal injury lawsuit. We may even file a lawsuit and an insurance claim simultaneously. However, you have a limited amount of time to submit a lawsuit in Bellevue, WA. Under RCW § 4.16.080, you typically have three years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
There are sometimes exceptions to the statute of limitations that give you even less time to submit your case. To protect your right to compensation, you should get started on your case as soon as possible. Getting started early also means your lawyers will have more time to gather evidence, speak to witnesses, and fill out all the necessary paperwork.
