Get Help For Any Type Of Injury Case

Yakima Truck Accident Lawyer

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

The aftermath of a collision with an industrial truck can be a stressful and uncertain time that leaves you wondering how to get compensated for your losses. Find out how best to handle your claim by working with a Yakima truck accident lawyer.

The injuries suffered in a semi-truck crash can easily change your life for the worse forever. Because large commercial trucks are so much larger than passenger cars and motorcycles, accidents with these vehicles are almost always violent and chaotic, causing a tremendous amount of emotional trauma in addition to property damage and serious injuries.

When you’ve been hurt or disabled in a wreck such as this, you’re going to need compensation from the at-fault party to enable you to recover and get your life back on track. Getting a fair settlement will also require getting treated fairly by an insurance company, however—something that isn’t likely to happen unless you have a Yakima truck accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates working on your behalf.

Cause and Fault in Semi-Truck Wrecks

In order to get the insurance to take your personal injury claim seriously, you’ll need to have the strongest case possible. This makes it essential to have all of the necessary evidence to prove that the other party was responsible for what happened and not you.

In Washington State, the percentage of fault that you are found responsible for will reduce your settlement amount by that same percentage. This means that if the insurance company can pin blame on you, they’ll be able to minimize what they’ll have to pay you.

Whether your 18-wheeler collision was caused by drowsy driving or improperly secured cargo, your Yakima truck accident lawyer will find all of the available evidence and witness testimony that can be used to prove your case. Even if a tire blowout was the cause, it might be possible to prove that the truck was overloaded or that the tire was defective and get you the compensation you need.

Damages in a Commercial Truck Collision Claim

Great or small, any expenses or losses you suffer because of your injuries or the semi-truck crash should be accounted for in your demand for compensation. By working with a Yakima truck accident lawyer from our firm, we’ll be able to help you identify every single way that the wreck has negatively affected your life and finances.

Listed below are just a few of the financial damages and non-economic losses that you might be able to claim in your personal injury lawsuit:

Lost wages and income, as well as reduced future earning potential
Medical bills for current and future healthcare required by your injuries
Cost of medication, mobility equipment, and medical devices
Therapy for physical rehabilitation or emotional trauma
Pain and suffering
Lost companionship and sexual function
Lost enjoyment of life

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.
