How Much Will An Auto Accident Attorney Cost Me?

Most personal injury lawyers work on what is called a contingency fee. This means that their fee is dependent on whether or not your case is won. Simply put – if you don’t win, we don’t get paid. This works to your advantage, believe it or not. History has shown that the settlements are higher when the injured party from a car accident has an attorney advocating for them.

Insurance companies are for-profit businesses. They don’t want to pay for an accident, and they have a team of lawyers working to find ways to decrease the payout. At Ritchie Reiersen Law in Vancouver, we believe that each person deserves to be properly compensated for their suffering due to the negligence of others.

We work hand-in-hand with you to determine the many ways an injury from a car accident has and will impact your life. The lawyers who are working for the insurance company will not get away with underestimating the value of your injuries. We will focus on your needs and your rights and hold the negligent party responsible. Most importantly, we will fight for what is right for you, not what the insurance company wants.

Our goal is to work hard to get you the maximum compensation you deserve and help you get back on the road to recovery.

What Can I Be Compensated For After An Auto Accident?

 

Being in a car accident can be frightening and bring a lot of feelings of unease, stress, fatigue, and anxiety. A car accident will usually affect more than just your car. Auto accidents of all types can cause serious injuries to the individuals involved.

The personal injury attorneys at Ritchie Reiersen Law in Vancouver, Washington understand that determining the value the impacts of a car accident and resulting injury will have on your life can be hard to do on your own.

Damages that you can receive compensation for include, but are not limited to, medical bills, lost wages, emotional trauma, property damages, loss of enjoyment, and pain and suffering. Working closely with you we place a value on each of these things and take that amount to the insurance company for settlement.

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.
