Auto Accident Lawyers in Seattle – Wiener Lambka Deutscher

Every year thousands of drivers are injured in auto accidents, but few of them ever receive just compensation for the accident and subsequent injuries. It is standard practice among insurance companies to initially offer victims a small settlement. They bet on the victim not realizing the true value of their case. If you do not understand the law, you too may be left bearing the majority of the expenses from an accident that was not your fault. Our Seattle-based car accident attorneys will help you understand the law and obtain a more appropriate settlement.

If you are interested in scheduling a free consultation with our auto accident lawyers, contact the Seattle firm of Wiener Lambka Deutscher today.

Car Accidents

Car accidents account for a high percentage of personal injury claims in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, every 10 seconds someone in America is involved in a car accident. Annually, more than 40,000 people are killed in approximately 5 million motor vehicle accidents. This means over 100 fatalities occur each day on our nation’s roadways.

The economic costs of these car accidents are staggering, amounting to more than $150 billion each year. Chances are that during your lifetime you will be involved in at least one auto accident. You should be prepared and aware of your legal rights. If you have been injured in a car accident, you may not be sure what steps to take to protect your rights. The days and weeks following a serious car accident are traumatic, stressful, and overwhelming. Much of this stress can be alleviated with the assistance of our auto accident lawyers. Contact the Seattle car accident attorneys of Wiener Lambka Deutscher so that they can examine your case and answer any questions you may have.

Drunk Driving Accidents

About three in every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their lives. In 2004 there were 16,694 fatalities in alcohol-related crashes – an average of one alcohol-related death every 31 minutes (statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s 2004 Traffic Safety Fact Sheet). An estimated 39 percent of fatal motor vehicle accidents were alcohol-related. Our auto accident lawyers in Seattle have years of trial experience. If you were hit in a DUI accident, contact our car accident lawyers today.

Tragically, in many cases of drunk driving, another driver, passenger, or pedestrian suffers a brain or spinal cord injury or is even killed as a result of the accident. If the victim is deceased, a family member may be entitled to claim for wrongful death, depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident. If you are the family member of someone who passed away as the result of a drunk driver, you should seek legal assistance from our auto accident lawyers in Seattle as soon as possible. Statutes of limitation may apply, which can affect your eligibility to claim.

What Can Our Auto Accident Lawyers Do for You?

The law protects the rights of car accident victims but is confusing and varies from state to state. Washington has instituted an at-fault law. The at-fault statute states that the party responsible for the car accident must pay all related costs. In an effort to curb rising auto costs, states have started to limit the damages a victim can claim for pain and suffering. Seattle residents can rely on our car accident attorneys to make sure they receive the maximum compensation allowed under the law.

Most people are duped by the insurance companies because they do not have an adequate grasp of the law. In order to receive sufficient compensation for your claim, it is very important that you retain experienced, aggressive legal representation. We proudly boast an elite team of auto accident lawyers at our firm in Seattle. We encourage car accident victims to arrange a consultation with our attorneys so that we can evaluate your case and assess how we can help you.
