Types of Cases We Handle

Types of Personal Injury Compensation Available in Vancouver, WA

Accurately calculating damages in a personal injury claim is crucial for securing the financial support you need to recover from your injuries. Overlooking certain losses or underestimating your injury’s impact can significantly affect your quality of life. Our experienced Vancouver personal injury attorneys can help you identify every type of damage and build a strong case for the compensation you deserve.

Below are the types of compensation you may be eligible for in a personal injury claim in Vancouver, WA:

Medical Expenses. You may recover the costs of medical treatment, such as hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, medication, and any ongoing care. Compensation can include travel costs for appointments and projected costs for future treatment if your injuries are long-term.
Lost Wages. If your injury has kept you from working, you may recover compensation for lost income. This covers both past wages and future earning potential if your injury limits your ability to return to your job or work at all.
Pain & Suffering. Physical pain and emotional distress are common after an injury. Compensation for pain and suffering recognizes the discomfort, anxiety, depression, and lost enjoyment that often follow an accident.
Property Damage. If your property—such as a vehicle involved in a car accident—was damaged, you may be entitled to repair or replacement costs. Property damage claims also cover items like phones, clothing, or other belongings affected in the incident.
Disability & Rehabilitation. If your injury caused a permanent disability, compensation may cover specialized equipment, home modifications, and necessary accommodations. Rehabilitation costs, including therapy or retraining for a new job, may also be included.
Loss of Consortium. Injuries that disrupt family relationships or partnerships may qualify for loss of consortium damages. These damages account for the emotional and relational impact of an injury on your loved ones.
Wrongful Death Damages. If negligence caused a loved one’s death, surviving family members can pursue damages for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and financial contributions the deceased would have provided.

Types of Personal Injury Claims We Handle in Vancouver, WA

Our trial attorneys understand the complexities of many types of personal injury claims. If you're unsure whether you have grounds for compensation, contact us to discuss your situation. After listening to your story and determining your eligibility, we will thoroughly investigate the accident, collect vital evidence, and build a strategy tailored to your needs.

Our team at Palace Law can assist with personal injury claims involving:

Bicycle Accidents. Bicycle accidents often happen when drivers act negligently. If a motorist failed to yield, drove distracted, or acted recklessly, resulting in a crash, you could have a claim.
Brain Injuries. A brain injury can change every aspect of life—from physical abilities to cognitive function and emotional stability. If your brain injury resulted from another’s negligence or unsafe conditions, you may have a personal injury claim.
Car Accidents. Car accidents make up a significant portion of personal injury claims. If another driver's reckless actions—like speeding, distracted driving, or running a red light—caused your crash, you may be entitled to pursue compensation.
Dog Bites. Washington uses a strict liability rule for dog bites, which means owners are typically responsible for bite injuries regardless of past behavior. If you were lawfully present and did not provoke the dog, you can usually claim damages for a Vancouver dog bite injury.
Motorcycle Accidents. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on Vancouver roads. If another driver’s negligence—such as failing to check blind spots or operating under the influence—caused your motorcycle crash, you may have grounds for a claim.
Pedestrian Accidents. Vancouver pedestrians injured by vehicles often qualify for a claim, especially at crosswalks where drivers failed to yield, were speeding, or acted while distracted or impaired.
Slip & Fall Accidents. Slip and fall claims apply when someone is injured on another’s property due to dangerous or neglected conditions—such as wet floors, poor lighting, uneven ground, or icy walkways. Property owners may be held accountable if they knew or should have known about the hazard and did not fix it.
Wrongful Death. “Wrongful death” involves fatalities resulting from another’s negligence or wrongful act, such as in motor vehicle accidents. Eligible family members can seek compensation for lost income, medical bills, and loss of companionship under Washington law.

Steps to Take After an Accident in Vancouver, WA

The moments after an accident can shape the outcome of your personal injury case. Start by seeking medical care—even if you feel fine—since symptoms can develop hours or days later. In Vancouver, PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center and nearby urgent care facilities provide timely treatment and helpful documentation for your claim. Gather contact details from all parties involved, take photographs of the scene, and record details like weather, vehicle positions, or visible injuries.

Report the incident to law enforcement, especially for vehicle accidents or injuries on public property. If a business or property owner is involved, notify the manager and ask for an incident report. Once you are safe, speak with a personal injury attorney before making detailed statements to insurance companies. An attorney familiar with Washington law can help you know what to expect, protect your rights, and build a strong claim from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Vancouver, WA

Will My Vancouver Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?

Many personal injury cases settle out of court. However, if we cannot reach a fair settlement, your case may go to trial. We are strong negotiators who will work for a just settlement. We can also provide straightforward advice about when it may be best to go to court, especially if the insurance company refuses to offer a reasonable settlement.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire an Attorney for My Personal Injury Claim in Vancouver, WA?

Our personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, so you do not pay anything upfront. Instead, our firm receives a percentage of any settlement or court award. You owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

Can I Still Seek Damages If I Was Partially Responsible for an Accident in Vancouver, WA?

Washington’s comparative negligence law allows you to seek compensation even if you share responsibility for an accident. The court will reduce your award by the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if you are 20% at fault, you receive 80% of your total damages. You can pursue compensation even if you are more than 50% responsible, but your total recovery decreases by your portion of fault.

Determining fault can be complicated, and insurance companies may try to assign additional blame to reduce payouts. We know these tactics and stand ready to pursue the best possible outcome, even if you share some fault for the accident.

What Should I Expect During My Initial Consultation?

During your free consultation, we discuss the details of your accident, your injuries, and any evidence you have gathered. We can explain how Washington law applies to your case and guide you through the legal process. Our team also evaluates whether you have a viable personal injury claim and advises if we are able to accept your case.

Your Rights Under Washington Personal Injury Law

In Washington, personal injury law protects injured people by holding negligent parties financially accountable for the harm they cause. The state follows a comparative fault rule, which means your compensation can be reduced if you share fault for an accident, but you are not barred from recovery unless you file your claim outside the statute of limitations. Washington law gives you the right to recover for both economic and non-economic damages, including medical bills, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

State statutes set important boundaries for who can file a claim and what kinds of damages may be awarded. Specific rules apply to different types of accidents, such as car crashes, slip and falls, or dog bites, and some claims involve overlapping state and municipal laws. Consulting with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Vancouver helps ensure you apply the right statute and that your claim covers both immediate losses and longer-term impacts.

Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims in Vancouver, WA

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in the state of Washington is generally three years from the date of the injury. This means you must file your claim within three years of the date of your accident.

Missing this deadline will likely prevent you from recovering any compensation, so don’t wait to start the legal process. Getting in touch with us promptly gives our Vancouver personal injury lawyers more opportunity to preserve evidence and contact witnesses while their memories are fresh.
