Washington Personal Injury Lawyers

Fighting on Behalf of Our Clients Since 1994

If you sustained an injury or developed an illness due to another person's negligent actions, do not hesitate to call Tamaki Law immediately. You might be entitled to compensation for the losses you suffered. We can review the circumstances of the incident and advise you about the available legal options to hold the negligent party liable. You should not be financially responsible for your medical care, surgical costs, prescription medications, and other expenses if your actions didn’t contribute to your injury in any way.

When you’re injured in a car crash, at work, or on someone else’s property, you could face long-term complications. The injury you suffered might lead to disability, requiring daily assistance to perform everyday tasks. If you’re suffering from chronic pain or loss of mobility, it can diminish your quality of life and disrupt your daily routine.

At Tamaki Law, our Washington personal injury lawyers understand the adverse effects of getting hurt in an accident or from dangerous conditions. You probably feel disoriented and in shock. You don’t know the steps you should take next or how you’re going to afford your treatment. The expenses incurred following a personal injury can cause financial strain and lead to massive debt.

You won’t have to face this devastating experience alone. We will be there for you every step of the way to provide the support and guidance you need. You can depend on our legal team to advocate for your rights and work hard to try to recover the maximum available compensation. We understand the importance of receiving the money you’re owed from the at-fault party. They were responsible for your injuries and should suffer the consequences of their wrongdoings.

Compensation You Could Recover in a Personal Injury Case

You can seek compensation for your past and future losses when you file an insurance claim or lawsuit. These losses might include:

  • Medical Bills
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Lost Wages
  • Lost Earning Capacity
  • Damage to Personal Property
  • Loss of Consortium
  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life

If you choose to sue the negligent party for the losses you suffered, you must observe the statute of limitations. This is a strict timeframe for filing a lawsuit in court. Generally Washington enforces a three-year statute of limitations. That means you must initiate your case within three years of the injury or incident. Once this deadline passes, you could lose your right to seek compensation. Every claim should be analyzed on a case by case basis regarding the statute of limitations because there are exceptions to the three-year statute of limitations.

Do I Need to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

You should not consider handling your case without hiring a lawyer. Studies have shown that represented accident victims typically receive higher compensation than individuals who take on their case alone. If you’re worried about the cost of retaining legal services, you should call Tamaki Law immediately.

Our Washington personal injury lawyers take cases on a contingency fee basis. That means we don’t charge upfront fees or costs. You won’t have to pay our legal fees unless we secure compensation for you. If we lose your case, you’ll never owe us money.

When you hire a lawyer after an accident, you won’t face the burden of confusing paperwork, accident investigations, or evidence collection. We can take care of everything on your behalf so you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
