Always Remember Comparative Fault Laws
Your personal injury claim will move along much smoother if you do two simple things: hire a lawyer and be truthful in answering their questions. Doing so will give them a better understanding of the accident in question, which will help them craft the best argument. Perhaps the most important question you will be asked is whether or not you were partially liable for the accident in question.
This is not meant to be an accusation; instead, it has to do with a set of Washington laws known as comparative fault. Essentially, comparative fault states that liability for an accident can be distributed between all parties, so long as the total reaches 100. If you are assigned a percentage of fault, your end settlement will be reduced by the same percentage. Additionally, any party with over 50 percent of the liability will not be able to recover anything. So, if you know that you were partially at fault, it’s best to tell your attorney as soon as possible, so that you are not caught off guard.

What Types of Damages Can Vancouver Accident Victims Recover?
Every case has a unique settlement because every accident is different. No two cases will have the exact same injuries, so there are no set guidelines for awarding damages. For the most part, your settlement will rely on three factors: the severity of your injuries, the type of accident involved, and the skill of your attorney. If you aren’t very injured, you won’t recover very much regardless of who your lawyer is. However, the more severe the injuries get, the higher the stakes become, and a good attorney becomes invaluable.
All damages are generally divided into two categories–punitive and compensatory. Less than one-tenth of cases will feature punitive damages, as they are reserved for the most brutal examples of negligence. For the most part, only cases involving death or serious injury (paralysis, cancer, etc.) will discuss punitive damages. The defendant’s financial ability will also be taken into account, as these are steep fines that not everyone could reasonably pay.
Conversely, compensatory damages are the standard forms of compensation for physical and emotional injuries. They typically include:
- Medical costs
- Property damage
- Lost wages, damage to future earnings
- Disability
- Loss of enjoyment
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship
As a general rule, non-economic damages are always harder to recover than economic ones. That is because economic damages can be easily tallied (medical bills, property damage, lost wages), whereas non-economic damages such as loss of enjoyment are heavily dependent on evidence and attorneys’ techniques. However, when you come to Van Law Firm, that is not something you have to worry about.
