The aftermath of a motor vehicle accident can last a long time.

Types of Damages for a Car Accident

You have the right to pursue economic and noneconomic damages for your auto accident, such as:

Wrongful death. Nothing can replace a loved one, but you do have the right to pursue compensation for their death.

Medical bills. You can pursue compensation for the medical bills you incurred immediately following the car accident, as well as any future medical treatment and expenses you’re likely to face going forward.

Lost wages. In the days and weeks following the accident, you likely had to take time off work. Whether these were paid or unpaid days off, you can be compensated for these lost wages. And if you’re unable to return to work in your chosen career or to any type of work due to a disabling or severe injury, you can also be compensated for your future lost wages.

Pain and suffering. The emotional distress, physical pain, and change in your quality of life have value and are noneconomic damages you can pursue.

Property damage. In addition to your car, you can recover compensation for any personal property that was damaged in the accident, like your personal computer or cell phone.

Disfigurement or disability. You also have the right to compensation for physical injuries that carry a lasting impact, like traumatic brain injuries or severe scarring.

Why Hire a Tacoma Car Accident Attorney

If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Tacoma or anywhere in Pierce County, you may be facing mounting medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about your future. While you are not legally required to hire a car accident lawyer, working with an experienced Tacoma car accident attorney can make all the difference in protecting your rights and ensuring you receive the full and fair compensation you deserve.

Insurance companies often prioritize their bottom line over your recovery. They may offer quick settlements that are far too low to cover long-term medical expenses, lost wages, or future care needs. They may pressure you to accept a settlement soon after your accident, but the extent and seriousness of your injuries may not be known for weeks or even months. Settling with the insurance company too soon could impact your ability to pursue the compensation you need to recover from your car accident.

Hiring a Tacoma car accident lawyer can help preserve your legal rights. Your attorney will handle the insurance company for you from negotiations to settlement to trial if necessary, allowing you to focus on healing and recovering.

An experienced car accident lawyer levels the playing field and will:

Represent you in court if the insurance company refuses a fair settlement

Investigate your crash and gather evidence

Handle all communication and negotiations with the insurance company

Accurately calculate the value of your auto accident claim
