Every year millions of people are injured in motor vehicle accidents. Thousands are killed. Even a simple automobile collision may involve complex legal and medical issues. Retaining a skilled, experienced and knowledgeable personal injury or wrongful death attorney can make the difference between full and fair compensation or something much less.

Washington auto insurance laws require that motor vehicle owners and operators have liability insurance. Liability insurance provides compensation to victims of negligent drivers for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, earnings impairment, out of pocket expenses, physical and mental pain, disability, disfigurement and loss of enjoyment of life. Every auto accident injury victim experiences different harm and damages.

In Washington underinsured motorist coverage may be in force to help pay for your damages in the event the responsible parties have inadequate insurance. Personal injury protection insurance may also be available to pay for some wage loss, medical bills, essential services and even some death benefits.

It is very important to investigate all possible insurance coverage early so that no mistakes are made that could jeopardize insurance coverage on your claim. It is important to know about insurance for each vehicle involved, insurance for the driver of each vehicle, other insurance that may provide coverage for passengers, your own insurance and even industrial insurance if the collision occurred while you were on the job. Employer based health insurance may also provide a way to obtain necessary medical care and diagnostics.

You should know that everything you say to an insurance company adjuster or attorney will likely be used to reduce your damages. You should not give statements to insurance companies or sign any papers until you speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer.

Billion dollar insurance companies use friendly, professionally trained and experienced adjusters and attorneys to pay you as little as they possibly can get away with. Most injury victims have no idea how much their injury claims are worth. The insurance companies gather information from you, or others, then use that information against you. It only makes sense to talk with the personal injury and wrongful death lawyers at Ron Meyers & Associates to make sure you receive a fair and adequate recovery for your personal injuries or the loss of a loved one.
