Why Would I Want to Hire an Attorney After an Auto Accident?

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time and ending up being injured in a car accident is not only scary, it is downright frustrating. As the number of people living and working in Spanaway and the surrounding Seattle/Tacoma area increases, so does the number of car crashes happening each day.

If you’ve been in a car accident, you probably just want to get the insurance claims worked out and be compensated as quickly as possible. The truth of the matter, however, is that most claims don’t get resolved quickly. There are phone calls to be made, letters to write, medical and police records to compile, and injuries and damages to assess. This can be a big job. Meanwhile, the insurance company for the at-fault driver is trying to protect their bottom line and will use all the options in their playbook to pay the smallest amount possible on the claim, often leading to an early (and low) settlement offer.

Can you handle all of these things on your own and achieve a resolution you will be happy with? At Ritchie Reiersen Law, we will be the first to tell you that not all car accidents require the services of a lawyer. Individuals are, indeed, capable of taking care of insurance claims on their own. With that being said, however, we will also report that history and experience have shown us that the process of filing and resolving a claim after a car accident can be long and drawn out. In addition, the final payout is typically larger when an experienced lawyer is involved in the process than when insurance offers to settle with an individual.

The dedicated auto accident attorneys at Ritchie Reiersen Law in Spanaway know that being injured in an accident due to the negligence of others is really tough. Our goal is to help the injured party through the process of filing claims, negotiating with insurance, and ultimately feeling confident in the process and the decisions that are made. We offer a complimentary consultation for this reason – we want you to understand your options and feel empowered to move forward in the direction that you feel is best for your own situation.

I wish I would have had this book when I was hit 10 years ago. I made so many mistakes and ended up paying for it with long term injuries that weren’t covered, and the regret of looking back at the compensation I should have received for my car, my pain and my time.
