There are many situations that could lead you to seek a lawyer’s assistance. Whether you have suffered from medical malpractice, been involved in a motor vehicle accident, or were injured in another way, you have legal options for recovering compensation from the liable party.
At Herschensohn Law, we are committed to our clients, no matter what types of injuries they suffered or how they occurred. We believe you shouldn’t have to pay anything stemming from another party’s negligence. Our lawyers in Chehalis handle many practice areas––and we’re confident in our ability to serve you. Dial (206) 590-6399 to learn more.
One of the most common types of personal injury claims our firm handles are car accidents, including those that involve rideshare drivers. We can help you negotiate with the insurance company and secure a better settlement than you could before. Or, perhaps you were involved in a traffic collision on a different type of conveyance, like a bike or motorcycle, or even afoot. We also handle pedestrian, bicycle, and motorcycle accidents, including single-person incidents.
Perhaps the most severe type of traffic accidents we handle involve semi-trucks. Trucking accidents often result in life-changing injuries for the occupants of the smaller vehicle and carry legal complexities that other types of collisions do not. We carefully steer you through the claims process, focusing on securing every penny you’re owed.
Have you been harmed due to unsafe conditions on another’s property? From a slip-and-fall injury to a dog bite or even a mishap on the escalator in one of the shops along the Miracle Mile, we can help you demand cooperation from the at-fault property owner.
We also help people who suffer on-the-job injuries, including maritime accidents. Accidents at sea or on the docks are often covered by a different set of laws (and may not include workers’ compensation benefits). We have deep knowledge of The Jones Act and other U.S. maritime laws that could impact your claim and are licensed to practice in both Washington and federal courts.
Finally, our services include representing families who have lost a loved one due to another person’s or party’s negligence. At Herschensohn Law Firm, PLLC , we understand that no amount of money can replace your loved one and how difficult it may feel to pursue legal action in this manner. However, a civil suit may be the only way to hold that negligent party accountable for the harm they caused. Please contact our Chehalis law firm today for a compassionate consultation with a skilled Washington personal injury attorney.
As a law firm that focuses on personal injuries, we are ready to get to work on your behalf. We advocate for Washingtonians in the aftermath of:
Car accidents are sudden, often traumatic events that can result in injury, property damage, or even death. They are commonly caused by factors like distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, and adverse weather conditions. Collisions can range from minor fender-benders to severe crashes involving multiple vehicles. Preventing accidents involves responsible driving, following traffic laws, and ensuring vehicles are well-maintained. Safety measures like wearing seat belts and using airbags significantly reduce the risk of serious injury during accidents.
Truck accidents involve collisions between large commercial trucks and other vehicles or pedestrians. Due to their size and weight, truck accidents often result in severe injuries, fatalities, and extensive property damage. Common causes include driver fatigue, speeding, improper maintenance, and road conditions. Victims may seek compensation through personal injury claims.
Pedestrian accidents occur when a vehicle strikes a person on foot, often leading to serious injuries or fatalities. Common causes include distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield at crosswalks. Pedestrians are especially vulnerable in these accidents, and victims may pursue compensation for medical costs and other damages.
A slip and fall accident occurs when someone slips, trips, or falls on another person’s property due to hazardous conditions like wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or obstacles. These accidents can lead to serious injuries, including broken bones, sprains, or head trauma. Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain safe premises, and when they fail to do so, victims may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain through personal injury claims or lawsuits.
Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility property owners have to ensure their premises are safe for visitors. This area of law holds owners accountable for injuries that occur due to hazardous conditions, such as wet floors, uneven walkways, poor lighting, or unsecured objects. If a person is injured on someone else’s property because of negligence, they may file a claim for compensation. Premises liability cases include slip and fall accidents, dog bites, or injuries caused by unsafe structures or maintenance issues.
A workplace injury occurs when an employee is hurt while performing job-related tasks. Common causes include accidents, repetitive strain, or exposure to hazardous materials. These injuries can lead to medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term health issues, often entitling workers to compensation through workers’ compensation claims or lawsuits.
The lawyers of Herschensohn Law are committed to seeing their clients receive the compensation they deserve no matter what type of injury they suffered. To learn more about our client-centered care, call (206) 588-4344.
