If you have suffered a personal injury as a result of the negligence or wrongful conduct of another, our attorneys at Budd Bay Law, P.S. work vigorously to obtain settlements and verdicts that compensate you for injuries and damages.
Types of Personal Injury Cases
Our lawyers handle all types of personal injury and wrongful death cases in Olympia and surrounding communities. Personal injury spans a wide scope of accidents and injuries that include auto accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents on unsafe property, catastrophic injuries, construction accidents and other sources of injury. Some accidents may provide grounds for legal action due to another’s negligence. By comparison, with cases involving a dangerously defective product, courts hold companies strictly liable.
Trying the Case and Proving Negligence
If you have been injured due to the negligence of another, you are entitled to recover compensation for the damages inflicted on you. Negligence is the failure to exercise reasonable care that results in injuring someone else. In WashingtonState, as long as the defendant has some percentage of negligence in causing your injury, you can recover damages. Recoverable personal injury damages include current and future medical expenses, present and future lost income, and compensation for less tangible damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment of life.
To obtain fair compensation, an attorney must convince the jury that the defendant was at fault and substantiate the nature and extent of your injuries. The defendant’s insurance company lawyers may argue that you were to blame for causing the accident, or that your injuries are either exaggerated or the result of a prior occurrence. In effect, opposing counsels vie to win the verdict. However, at any point parties can negotiate a fair settlement.
