Commonly Asked Questions About Car Accident Cases in Yakima
This could be your first time filing a car accident claim or lawsuit. If so, you likely have many questions about the financial recovery process. Some of these questions may include:
How Long does It Take to Get a Settlement?
There is no telling how long your case could take to resolve. Yet, one thing is certain: Van Law Firm will do everything possible to keep your case progressing. If the insurer attempts to delay your case (or the at-fault party denies liability), you have options. For example, we may file a lawsuit to compel the insurer to settle. We may find and use additional evidence to support your compensation claim.
What Are the Most Common Causes of Car Accidents in Yakima?
Driver error is the most common cause of car accidents in the country. Still, we’ll conduct an investigation to determine who should pay for your losses. Consider the following:
- A roadway hazard could make the government responsible for your losses.
- A defective car part could enable you to file a product liability claim or lawsuit.
- You could file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance policy.
Multiple parties could owe compensation for your damages. If so, we’ll pursue each of them.
What Injuries Could Warrant Compensation?
If you suffered harm in a collision, you can seek damages. The more severe your injuries, the more you can request from the liable party. We’ve recovered compensation for people suffering from:
- Broken bones
- Nerve damage
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord trauma
- Paralysis
- Lacerations
- Sprains and strains
- Whiplash
We’ve advocated for people suffering from conditions not listed above.
