AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT RECOVERY
The Reinig & Barber law firm
continuously successfully represents clients in
a variety of automobile-related injury cases. Our
experience includes lawsuits against government
agencies for defective highway design, negligent
drivers in a variety of automobile accidents, and
manufacturers for product defects.
From initial investigations
to discover why and how an accident occurred, to
settlement negotiations with insurance companies
and those at fault, to state and federal courtroom
trials, we have the staff, resources, and expertise
needed to handle complex personal and property damage
claims. We also are adept at evaluating sources
of insurance and navigating issues related to medical
insurance, uninsured and underinsured drivers, and
our clients’ own policies.
Immediately after being
injured in an auto accident, you are thrown into
an adversarial legal system that is complex and
confusing. While you are still receiving initial
treatment for your injuries in a hospital emergency
room, the parties at fault have already notified
their insurance company of the accident. Every insurance
company has in place, a team of adjustors, investigators
and attorneys whose sole responsibility is to limit
the liability of the insurance company and minimize
the amount of money they will be required to pay
"innocent" auto accident victims. You
need the assistance of a qualified Personal Injury
attorney to guide you through the system to ensure
that you receive the maximum compensation allowable
by law for your injuries.
There are many mistakes
that can be made during the initial stages of a
Personal Injury claim that cannot be undone by even
the most experienced attorney. We believe that our
firm can help "level the playing field"
by providing auto accident victims with an accurate
straight-forward source of information regarding
the legal and practical aspects surrounding the
auto compensation system.
If you or any member of
your family have been injured in an auto accident,
you need to ensure that your legal rights are protected
and you receive maximum compensation for your injuries.
Please contact our office, anytime, by calling Reinig
& Barber at (509) 735-0535 for a free, no obligation,
consultation with a qualified Personal Injury attorney
from our office or email me at Nathan@reinbarb.com.
A car accident is most often caused by negligent
operation of one or more of the cars involved in
the accident. In Washington, the driver has a duty
to safety operate his/her car. When an accident
results because of unsafe driving, the driver may
be liable to those injured in the accident, including
its own passengers. Regardless of who is at fault
in the car accident, injured victims should seek
the advice of an experienced attorney at Reinig
and Barber.
Should I go to the Doctor
if I'm only a little sore/hurt? Certain
injuries may take time to manifest themselves. Even
minor soreness may be an indication of a more serious
injury. If you believe you have been injured, you
should always visit a doctor.
What
am I entitled to be compensated for if the other
driver was at fault? Generally speaking,
if you are injured by another's negligence, you
are entitled for reimbursement for your medical
bills associated with the accident, cost of future
medical treatment and care, lost wages, pain and
suffering, property damages, and possibly other
damages.
Will
my own health insurer pay for medical bills? If
you have PIP/no fault medical coverage, your automobile
insurer may front your medical costs if you are
injured. Your insurer may be subject to reimbursement
if your injuries were caused by another driver.
Contact an attorney to review your policy.
Should
I just settle my case? You should not settle
your case until you have completed medical treatment
and been released by your doctor. Otherwise, your
case may be settled wtihout full knowledge of all
injuires. At the same time you must be mindful of
the applicable statute of limitations period in
the state in which you were injured. Contact an
attorney to advise you on when and how to settle
with the insurance company.
Motorcycle
accidents in tri-cities WA and eastern washington.
Motorcycle riders often face serious injuries
due to the negligence of others. Motorcycles lack
the safety and protection provided by larger vehicles,
and often larger vehicles pay little attention to
motorcycles. You may need to seek the advice of
an attorney if you have been injured in a motorcycle
accident.
Large
Truck accidents. Unfortunately, those involved
in a large truck accident in Washington and elsewhere
often suffer serious injury or death as a result
of the enormity of the truck. Drivers of semi-trucks
and companies have a duty to operate these vehicles
in a responsible manner. Unsafe driving, oversized
loads and other practices put other vehicles at
risk. Reinig & Barber has handled several large
trucking accidents in Tri-Cities washington and
Eastern Washington. Please give us a call.
