After you’re injured, it can feel like your life is an endless parade of hassles and hardships. Call a Moses Lake injury lawyer who can lighten the load.

Washington is a beautiful state where natural wonders abound. If you suffer a serious injury, none of that matters until you’re back on your feet. And if your debts build up, you may not get back to the life you were accustomed to for a long time.

When someone’s negligence causes an accident that leads to you getting hurt, that person owes you justice in the form of monetary compensation. To get what you’re owed, you’ll likely need a Moses Lake personal injury lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates.

Case Types

Personal injury cases come in all shapes and sizes. Regardless of how you got hurt, we’ll work to discover the unique cause of your accident. We have to determine the cause to deduce who is at fault.

Some common types of personal injury claims filed in Moses Lake involve the following:

  • Car accidents, motorcycle wrecks, and truck crashes
  • Premises liability (animal attacks, drowning, and slip-and-fall accidents)
  • Product liability (design, manufacturing, or marketing defects)
  • Construction and work accidents
  • Medical malpractice

Injuries

Each accident type can cause a wide variety of injuries. Your Moses Lake injury attorney will work closely with your doctors to evaluate the extent and likely duration of each injury. We’ll make sure these are all indicated in your case so nothing is overlooked during negotiations and court.

Common injuries include the following:

  • Blows to the head causing traumatic brain injuries
  • Vision and auditory damage
  • Disfigurement and scarring
  • Neck, back, and spine trauma causing paralysis
  • Broken bones
  • Amputations
  • Organ damage
  • Internal bleeding
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Your Compensation

Once we have defined your injuries and damages, we’ll be able to estimate a value for each of them. This can be difficult for damages that may last far into your future or others that are non-economic and somewhat subjective, but we have the experience necessary for this task.

Your personal injury lawyer in Moses Lake may help you seek compensation for the following:

  • Current and estimated income loss or diminished earning capacity
  • Short- and long-term medical costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of consortium
  • Property damage
  • Punitive damages

Comparative Negligence

Washington follows the doctrine of comparative negligence to assign blame to multiple parties in personal injury claims. That means you, the plaintiff, can be found to share fault for your injuries.

Under this rule, if you win $100,000 but are 10 percent to blame for your injuries, then you’ll get $90,000. Your 10 percent of the blame is subtracted from your award. The upside is that you can still recover some compensation even if you share a substantial portion of the blame with the defendant.
