As soon as you hear the screeching tires, the crunch of metal and feel the severe jolt from a car ramming into your vehicle, you have a number of decisions to make. Do you want the police to come to the scene? Do you have all the information you will need about the other driver and their insurance? Do you want an ambulance? Which hospital should you go to? Where do you want your car towed? Should you call to the insurance company? Do you give a taped statement? What lawyer should you hire?
Attorney Tim Nodland has been handling car accident and injury cases for almost two decades and has vast experience in this field. Our office can help you decide all the important issues in your case and help you document the important facts that will be necessary to successfully bring your claim to the insurance company.
You need a skilled personal injury attorney to assist you. We can communicate with your health care providers, prepare a proper medical and legal summary of your case and most importantly, stand between you and the insurance company while you are healing. We can ensure that a fair settlement is reached at the conclusion of your case. You want an experienced attorney on your side when you go through a major accident or injury. An attorney can help you find your way through the maze of paperwork, help you see through the insurance company tricks and tactics meant to deny you a fair settlement and an attorney can help you maximize your final recovery. Insurance adjusters spend every day all day, year after year, dealing with accidents. Their job is to protect the insurance company profits not to help you. They will start off being nice, if that doesn’t get you to do what they want they will try and baffle you with confusing language and make you jump through hoops and if that doesn’t work they will become belligerent and intimidating to you. Insurance adjusters are rewarded for getting you to sign a release and accept a very low amount for your injury and want to get this done early before you get a chance to talk to an attorney.
Insurance companies have attorneys working for them, why shouldn’t you have the same advantage? It is important that you hire someone who is an expert in personal injury law who can work with you to develop a winning strategy for your case. Our law firm takes most cases on a contingency fee basis which means we don’t charge any attorney’s fees unless and until we recover a settlement or award on your case. Washington law allows us to advance any case preparation costs as long as this amount is paid back from the settlement.
This decision is a “no brainerâ€. You need to hire a qualified attorney if you are injured because of someone else’s negligence, recklessness or intentional act that hurt you or someone you love. You need an attorney that has a reputation for being smart, honest, tough and who will treat you with dignity and respect.
