How to Calculate a Car Accident Settlement in Seattle

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

You’re expected to know plenty of things after a car crash, such as when to contact your insurance company, where to file a collision report, and how to calculate a car accident settlement. With all this on your plate, you might feel overwhelmed.

With the help of an attorney at Craig Swapp & Associates, this process won’t be so difficult. Our team can guide you and get you the compensation you need after your auto wreck.

Calculating Your Financial Damages

Damages typically come in two forms: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those that likely come to mind when you think of a car accident—monetary expenses that you’re paying because of the accident.

These are relatively easy to calculate. After all, you’ll have a hospital bill and a list of car repairs. Our lawyers can help you add up these expenses and estimate the total monetary cost of your crash.

However, this should also include future expenses. For example, if you’re going to need physical therapy after a paralyzing spinal injury, you need to include an estimate of these expenses. You’ll also need to consider the value of any income you’ll lose from being unable to work temporarily or permanently.

Determining the Value of Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are a little more complicated because they tend to be subjective. For example, while a broken leg may not be psychologically debilitating to someone with an office job, a professional athlete would likely be emotionally devastated.

Non-economic damages are intangible hardships you might have suffered because of the accident, including the following:

Mental anguish
Pain and suffering
Loss of companionship

While calculating the value of such difficulties can be complicated, our attorneys have the tools to do so accurately and fairly so you can get the compensation you truly deserve.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
