Seeking justice for victims

Being involved in a serious car accident can change your life forever. You may be left with debilitating injuries, medical debt, and mental trauma.

However, it’s important to remember that victims have rights. Under Washington law, those injured in a car accident because of another party’s negligence or wrongdoing can seek justice through the legal system.

With the help of an experienced personal injury attorney, they can file a lawsuit which, if successful, may result in a significant award of damages.

Victims should file as soon as possible; Washington State imposes a three-year statute of limitations on personal injury cases.
