Side-impact collisions can be disastrous for your health and financial future. Get compensated for your injuries and damages by working with a Spokane T-bone accident lawyer.

If you were injured in a T-bone accident with a car or truck, it is likely that your injuries have been painful and are causing you emotional and financial hardships. The tragedy of a side-impact collision doesn’t stop after being hit; that is only the beginning of the journey to recovery, making it important that you receive the legal and financial support you need to enable your recovery.

You can count on a Spokane T-bone accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates to listen to you, protect your legal rights, and fight for the compensation you deserve. A settlement cannot take away your pain, but it can ease the financial burden and stress caused by it.

 

Be Careful with the Other Party’s Insurance Company

Most people assume that determining fault in T-bone accidents is cut-and-dry, and that the other driver will take responsibility for their actions. Unfortunately, this is often not the case.

The insurance company is in business to make money, so it is common for the other driver to deny fault or try to point blame in your direction. If they succeed in demonstrating that you are even partially responsible, it can be used to limit how much money they pay out for your injuries. This makes it essential that you not communicate directly with the other party’s insurance company and instead have them go through our office.

 

Your Case Could Settle Through Negotiations

As an attorney, we can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf and work toward a settlement offer that will provide for your needs. If they are willing to cooperate, there is an opportunity for the case to settle without trial ever being necessary. However, we prepare to go to trial from day one so that if court becomes your best option, we can provide legal representation immediately.

 

Don’t Settle Your Side-Impact Collision Too Quickly

Taking the first settlement offer you receive is often a mistake. You may not understand the full impact of your injuries and whether you will recover in the short or long term. Your doctor needs to determine if you will fully recover and what your treatment will cost overall.

Otherwise, once your case is settled, you cannot go back and seek additional compensation—even if your medical bills continue to mount.

 

Compensation for a T-Bone Accident

Your Spokane T-bone accident lawyer can help you to get more money for your injuries. We do this by looking at how your life has changed since the accident and what that means financially, physically, and emotionally.

For example, losing your ability to run marathons may not cost you any money, but it can lead to a decrease in your health and enjoyment of life. You can be compensated for this and any other losses that you have sustained:

  • Wages you have lost due to your injuries and recovery
  • All medical bills, including projected future costs
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Caregivers
  • Transportation expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
