Graham Personal Injury Lawyer

We’re Dedicated to Pursuing the Settlement You Deserve in Graham

Treatment and other costs associated with recovering from an injury can put financial strain on not just you, but also your family. If you are injured and unable to work, you may feel anxious about paying your bills and caring for your loved ones. However, if another party’s negligence caused your accident, you can seek compensation for your losses, which may include:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are items that have specific monetary values attached to them. These are the most straightforward damages you can recover following your injury, and they can include:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Lost earning capacity
• Property damage costs (if applicable)
• Out-of-pocket costs, such as transportation arrangements

These damages are easy to place a monetary value on because they come with receipts, bills, pay stubs, or other easily accessible documentation.

Non-Economic Damages

It is not as easy to place a monetary value on non-economic damages, but when added to your settlement, they can greatly increase the value of the compensation you receive. Non-economic damages include:

• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Loss of enjoyment of life

When you speak with a lawyer, it is important that you explain everything that has changed in your life since your accident. Do not disregard certain hardships you experienced; you can likely recover damages for every challenge related to your injuries.

How Much Can I Recover Following an Injury in Graham?

Your claim’s worth will depend on the nature of your injury, what caused it, and the long-term ramifications for both you and your family. While every personal injury claim is different, we are committed to ensuring that you receive optimal compensation.

In the past, we have helped our clients secure settlements of over $1 million for various personal injuries. We hope to bring a fair and swift resolution to your case, too.

How Can Herschensohn Law Help?

After you suffer an injury, securing damages can feel overwhelming. While recovering, you may not have the time or the energy to also file a claim or lawsuit. However, with our personal injury lawyers by your side, you can alleviate stress and put yourself in a good position to recover damages.

We can support your injury claim by:

Proving Negligence and Liability

The most important factor when determining whether you have a claim is negligence. In the state of Washington, the injured party must prove that the responsible party was negligent in their actions.

The other party is negligent when they:

• Owe a duty of care to others;
• Violate that duty of care;
• Cause an accident; and
• Injure another person.

Our lawyers can prove negligence by reviewing documents related to your accident. This documentation could include police reports, security camera footage, eyewitness testimony, and any other valuable information that can prove that the other party was responsible for your injuries.

Adhering to the Statute of Limitations

In Washington, you have three years to file your lawsuit, as defined in RCW 4.16.080. If you do not adhere to this time limit, then you may be unable to recover any damages for the injuries you suffered.

At Herschensohn Law, we will work quickly and thoroughly on your behalf to file your claim within the necessary timeframe.

Getting the Settlement You Deserve

At Herschensohn Law, we have a reputation in the state of Washington for doing everything necessary to get our clients the compensation they deserve. This means that we will go to court and represent you, if your situation calls for it.

We have helped our clients reach successful verdicts even after getting unfair offers from insurance companies. We will always act in a way that will benefit our clients the most, even if it means going to court.

What Should I Do After Suffering a Personal Injury in Graham?

Your first priority after suffering injuries should be seeking medical attention. Visiting a healthcare provider puts you on the road to recovery and secures much-needed evidence to bolster your claim.

Other considerations in the aftermath of your accident largely depend on your situation. However, we recommend that you:

• Refer all settlement offers to your lawyer. The insurer hopes that you’ll accept a low settlement. Your lawyer can evaluate all offers and ensure you accept one that meets your needs.
• Consider your legal options. You’re not alone after suffering an injury. With our team’s advocacy, you can focus on your recovery without worrying about the claims process.
• Keep all information related to the accident. There’s no such thing as a small piece of evidence. Every shred of information stemming from your accident and injuries matters. Keep records of all insurance-related communications, settlement offers, and doctors’ visits.

After learning your story, our team can offer further insight into your next steps and legal options. As noted, we offer free case reviews where you can connect with our firm and learn more.

Types of Personal Injury Cases Our Attorneys in Graham Handle

Our firm offers unyielding legal support in the aftermath of:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

These accidents include cars, trucks, boats, and motorcycles. The claims adjuster may contact you shortly after getting injured. While recovering from an injury, the last thing you want to do is deal with them––and with our team’s advocacy, you don’t have to. We manage all dealings with the insurance companies so you can focus your full energy on healing.

Bike Accidents

In Washington, bicyclists have rights when it comes to riding. However, not every driver respects bicyclists’ rights to the road.

Injuries from bike accidents can be severe. Traumatic brain injury, broken bones, and infections will all require significant medical treatment. We can seek compensation for your trauma via an injury claim or lawsuit—whichever method best suits your situation.

Pedestrian Accidents

Similar to bike accidents, pedestrian accidents can result in life-altering injuries. You should always be alert when crossing a street, as drivers may not be.

Distracted driving is becoming more prevalent in our communities, as drivers text and talk on phones while operating motor vehicles. These dangerous habits can put the safety of all those they share the roads with, including pedestrians, at risk.

Slips, Trips, and Falls

Every property owner, whether they own a home or business, must ensure the premises are safe for guests. If someone gets injured, they can hold the property owner liable for their losses. We manage premises liability cases arising from:

• Slippery floors
• Poorly lit areas
• Stairways without rails
• Exposed wiring
• Debris or clutter in a walkway
• Overgrown foliage

Workplace Injuries

If another party’s negligence caused your on-the-job injury, you could file an injury claim or lawsuit to recover damages workers’ compensation doesn’t cover.

Product Liability

When you purchase a product, you expect to remain safe––even if it doesn’t work as efficiently as advertised. For instance, if you used a coffee maker that exploded, leaving you with serious burns, you could sue the product’s manufacturer.

These cases can get complicated because corporations have billions of dollars and high-powered legal teams to combat product liability claims. In that instance, you want a lawyer who will go head-to-head with these representatives without hesitation. You can learn more about working with our product liability team during your free, no-obligation case review.

Maritime Accidents

If you are a maritime worker, then we can help you recover damages following an injury.

We can help you determine whether you should recover compensation under the Jones Act or the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, then ensure that you are properly compensated.

Wrongful Death

If your loved one passed away as a result of another person’s negligence, you and other surviving members have legal options. You can file a claim or lawsuit to recover damages associated with:

• Lost income
• Loss of companionship
• Burial fees
• Mental anguish

We understand that unexpectedly losing a loved one can pose many challenges in your life. We manage these cases with tact and compassion, supporting you in each phase of the legal process.
