Seattle Car Accident FAQ

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

Being involved in a car accident can be overwhelming. With so much going on, it’s normal to feel confused about how to move forward. But being informed is crucial in this situation, especially if you want to file a personal injury claim down the line.

Our team at Craig Swapp & Associates wants to make sure the process of dealing with your motor vehicle collision is as smooth and simple as possible. To help, we’ve compiled the answers to some common questions about Seattle car accident claims.

What is my claim worth?

Most crash victims are eager to find out what their injury claim is worth so they can stop worrying about the financial burdens they’re facing. Although every case is different, your claim’s value can be evaluated based on damages like medical care, loss of earning capacity, and pain and suffering.

Should I talk to the insurance company?

You likely know that you’ll have to involve the insurance company to some extent if you want to recover compensation for your damages. However, a qualified lawyer will recommend limiting communication to simply informing the insurer that you were involved in an accident. A lawyer can handle everything else so you don’t accidentally compromise your case.

What is the statute of limitations for car accident claims in Washington?

Every state has strict deadlines regarding how long you have to file a claim after an accident. This is known as a statute of limitations. In the state of Washington, the personal injury statute of limitations is three years from the date of the accident.

What evidence will I need?

Evidence plays a key role in proving your case. It helps to prove the negligence of the other driver. Depending on the circumstances of your case, relevant evidence may include the police report, eyewitness statements, medical records, and footage or photos from nearby cameras.

Should I see a doctor?

Even if you don’t think you were hurt in your car accident, you should still seek medical attention as soon as possible after your crash. Some injuries may take a while to develop, and getting a medical evaluation will provide documented evidence of your injuries later on.

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.
