Seattle Personal Injury Lawyer
Accidents can happen anytime and anywhere, and sometimes lead to life-altering injuries. Many accidents are entirely preventable and only occur because one party did not follow the law or take proper care of those around them. Being hurt by another party’s negligence can be especially frustrating as your injuries take time to heal and your medical bills pile up. However, if you did not cause the accident that led to your injuries, you have options for recovering compensation.
At Herschensohn Law, our personal injury team handles injuries that result from many kinds of accidents. We have negotiated settlements for millions of dollars, helping our clients get back on their feet and back to life like it was before the accident. When you suffer an injury at the hands of another party, our Seattle personal injury lawyers are ready to fight for the compensation you deserve.
If you suffered injuries due to another person’s negligence, you likely have a personal injury claim. Whether you were involved in a car accident, slipped and fell at work, or something else, you have a right to seek compensation from the party that hurt you.
Some of the most common types of personal injury that we handle include:
- Car, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents
- Boating injuries
- Workplace injuries
- Slip and fall accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Dog bites
- Medical malpractice
- Asbestos
- Wrongful death
If you were injured in an accident that is not listed above, that does not mean we cannot represent you. If you believe that you should receive compensation for your injuries, our personal injury lawyers are ready to hear your story and determine how they can help.
After being hurt, most personal injury clients want to know what damages they may be entitled to recover. The extent of your injuries and the severity of your accident will ultimately determine how much compensation you receive. No matter what type of accident you were involved in, most personal injury clients are entitled to both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages
Examples of economic damages include:
- Current and future medical bills
- Lost income
- Lost earning capacity
- Personal property damage
Non-Economic Damages
Examples of non-economic damages include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of companionship
The key difference between economic and non-economic damages is that one has a clear monetary value, while the other may be harder to determine. Even if a loss does not have clear monetary value, that does not mean that you cannot recover compensation. A Seattle personal injury can help calculate a fair value for your damages, including the non-economic ones.
If you are unsure if certain damages are recoverable, discuss them with your attorney. Any losses that were not present before your accident may be recoverable.

At Herschensohn Law, our clients are always our top priority. When we take a case, we work closely with the client to ensure that all their needs are met from the beginning of the legal process until the resolution. We offer free consultations to all personal injury victims, and we do not get paid unless we win. So, there’s no risk for you to contact us and discuss your Seattle personal injury case.
Determining Liability
To recover damages, liability must be proven. As the party seeking compensation, it’s your responsibility to prove that the party that injured you is liable for the damages you suffered.
The team at Herschensohn Law will review documents related to the case, including medical records, police reports, security footage, and eyewitness testimonies. Armed with this information, we can discuss your situation with experts to prove the party that injured you is liable. Once liability is determined, our focus turns to recovering damages.
Adhering to the Statute of Limitations
Per RCW 4.16.080, you must file your lawsuit within three years of the date of your injury. If you do not adhere to this deadline, your lawsuit will likely be disregarded by the court, and you will receive nothing in financial compensation. Our team of personal injury attorneys can ensure that your lawsuit is filed within the statute of limitations, allowing you to focus on what matters most – healing and getting back to your regular way of life.
It’s important that you contact an attorney as soon as possible after your injury to get the legal process started. Waiting offers no benefits after you suffer an injury at the hands of someone else.
