Car Accidents/ Motor Vehicle Accidents
It is important for you to understand that auto insurance companies—both your own and the insurer of the other party—are not on your side when it comes to looking out for your best interests after a motor vehicle accident. You need to be careful about what you sign and what you say to a claims adjuster, and DO NOT agree to a recorded statement. It may appear as if your insurance company is getting this information to help you, when in fact, the adjuster will use whatever data is available to resolve your claim for the least amount possible.
In Washington's Puget Sound area, Everett Car Accident Attorney John M. Williams can handle your injury claim for you and help you with your auto collision or total loss claim. He knows how insurance companies handle these claims and how to make sure that you get a fair settlement. Delaying the claims process by even a few days could cause problems with your case, so contact Williams Law Offices, PLLC today for your free consultation.
Auto Accident Facts and Washington's "PIP" Coverage
The leading cause of death in the United States is motor vehicle accidents. Over 42,000 people died in traffic accidents in 2006, while nearly 3 million people survived with serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, burn injuries, internal injuries, permanent disabilities, disfigurement, and paralysis because another motorist was speeding, not paying attention to the road, failed to stop at a red light, failed to yield the right of way, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or was negligent in another way.
Washington's PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage provides a minimum of $10,000 in medical coverage to the driver/policy holder and any passengers that might have been in the vehicle during an auto collision regardless of who was at fault. Even if you elected this coverage, it is astonishing how many people injured in Washington car accidents continue to experience problems when collecting their compensation from their own insurance company. Even when an injured motorist is able to use all of his or her PIP benefits, this may not cover all medical and recovery costs.
Mr. Williams will work with both your insurance company and the insurer of the liable party to reach a settlement that covers your accident and recovery expenses, as well as damages to compensate you for your injuries and loss. He also represents auto accident victims that were hurt because of a defective motor vehicle or in an SUV rollover crash, as well as pedestrians and bicyclists that were hurt in traffic accidents because of negligent motorists.
Because Attorney Williams is a former insurance adjuster, he understands how the process works from the insurance side and he can use this knowledge to your benefit. He knows how to present your case so that, rather than risk a much costlier jury verdict or a bad faith insurance claim, an insurance company will be compelled to pay you. He also, when required, will work with top accident reconstructionists and medical experts to gather the necessary evidence and testimony to solidify your case. If necessary, Everett Attorney Williams is fully prepared to litigate your Washington motor vehicle lawsuit and go to court.
