Damages Our Personal Injury Attorney Can Win for You

How We Maximize Your Personal Injury Compensation

Compensation in a personal injury case is always awarded for specific reasons. An experienced lawyer can consider all ways in which an accident has impacted your life to build a case for maximum compensation. The more experience your lawyer has, the more likely they are to know how to increase your compensation value by building a strong argument for damages.

The personal injury lawyers at Strong Law Firm have a track record of securing compensation that reaches six and seven figures. In a successful case in Washington state, our attorneys can win a settlement that covers both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are compensation for your expenses that have an actual dollar value. Personal injury compensation typically rests largely on the economic damages amount established by your attorney. Some of the most common examples of economic damages included in personal injury compensation include:

  • Medical and rehabilitative bills.
  • Lost wages and earnings from being unable to work and lost business opportunities.
  • Property damage.
  • Burial costs.
  • Costs of substitute domestic services.

Depending on the circumstances, economic damages can be gained for significant amounts, especially when future costs and losses are considered. Economic damages for injuries resulting in disability or the inability to return to work can compensate a family for items like future medical costs, the cost of lifetime care, or the injured person’s anticipated lifetime earnings.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are awarded for damages that do not have a specific monetary value. Instead of reimbursing you for a financial cost or loss, these are intended as compensation to help offset the ways in which an injury has negatively impacted mental and emotional health and overall quality of life. Non-economic damages can be harder to prove, but when they are awarded, they can be for substantial amounts.

Some of the most common items claimed as non-economic damages in personal injury cases include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of companionship or consortium
  • Disability or disfigurement
  • Mental or emotional distress
  • Injury to reputation and humiliation
  • Destruction of the parent-child relationship.

It is always difficult to know in advance how much your personal injury case is worth. Even if you have an idea of the financial impact of the accident, personal injury clients are often surprised by how a lawyer can maximize compensation. This is particularly true when it comes to non-economic damages. The suffering that has accompanied an accident may mean that an experienced personal injury attorney in Tacoma is able to argue for a much larger compensation value than you may have expected based on economic damages alone.

Amounts of Damage Awards in a Personal Injury Case

The number of damages awarded for personal injury can vary greatly, from thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the specific factors of your individual case. Consideration is made for:

  • The circumstances of the accident and the degree of fault of the negligent parties.
  • The amount of property damage and the costs you incur.
  • The severity and permanence of your injuries.
  • Whether you will need continuing care.
  • Whether you can return to work in the future.
  • The availability of insurance and assets of the defendants.
  • The individual judge and jury involved.
  • How well your attorney can negotiate a settlement or litigate your case.

According to Washington statute RCW 4.56.260, there are limits to noneconomic damages awards. Limits are set by multiplying 0.43 by the average annual wage and by the life expectancy of the person incurring noneconomic damages. However, this figure for life expectancy shall not be less than fifteen years, and juries are not to be informed of the limitation.

When you contact us, our Strong Law attorneys can provide an estimate of what your case should be worth. No matter what the situation, we know how to build strong cases that consider all of your expenses and damages, such as lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.

Our Personal Injury Lawyers Must Prove Negligence

Compensation Depends on Proving Negligence

To win your case, our personal injury lawyers must prove that the other party, the defendant in the case, was negligent or at fault for causing the injuries you received. The other party can only be held responsible for the costs of your injury if your lawyer can prove they acted negligently.

Proving negligence legally means showing the following elements:

  • Duty: The defendant owed you a duty of care not to cause harm.
  • Breach: The defendant breached this duty by actions or failure to act.
  • Cause: The defendant’s breach caused your injuries.
  • Damage: You suffered damages as a result.

Everyone has a duty of care to act responsibly to avoid harming others. Examples of breaching duty and causing harm include:

  • A drunk driver ran a red light and crashed into your car.
  • A surgeon amputated the wrong limb.
  • Your car’s airbags were defective and sent metal through your body.

Regardless of the cause, we will strive to find all liable parties and hold them responsible.

Common Questions Clients Ask Our Personal Injury Lawyers in Tacoma

Suffering from a severe personal injury can leave you with many questions. Here are answers to some frequent questions we have heard at Strong Law.

What does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Tacoma?

Our Tacoma personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, so we typically charge no fees until you are awarded damages, and then the fees then will come from your damage award. You have enough to worry about financially in the aftermath of your accident, so attorney fees, a percentage of the settlement, will not be added to that list.

What if I am partially to blame for the accident?

According to statute RCW 4.22.005, if you are partially to blame for the accident, your award would be reduced by the proportion of fault you bear. However, our Tacoma personal injury attorneys can still help you collect compensation that is in proportion to the defendant’s degree of fault. For example, if your case is worth $100,000 and you are 10 percent at fault, the award you receive could be $90,000.

Is there a time limit for filing a case?

Washington has a statute of limitations, a deadline within which you must file your lawsuit in the state’s civil court system, or you may be permanently barred from recovering any compensation for your injuries. Washington’s statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of your accident or injury.

Who can be held liable in a personal injury claim?

Anyone who is at fault or negligent for causing your injury can be held liable, depending on the circumstances involved. In some cases, there may be multiple parties who can be named as defendants in a personal injury claim. For example, in a trucking accident, the commercial truck driver who caused an accident and the trucking company they work for might be to blame, or a manufacturer if the truck or its parts were defective and caused the crash. We want to find all responsible parties, as they all may have insurance and assets.

What if a death occurs from the injury?

If the injury results in death, we can file a suit for wrongful death. Wrongful death cases can be thought of as personal injury cases where family members or the personal representative of the deceased bring a claim for their loved one who can no longer bring it themselves.

You can receive answers to specific questions about your injury by arranging a free consultation with the experienced personal injury lawyers at Strong Law Firm.
