Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer

When you get injured or you experience the wrongful death of a loved one, you deserve compensation to support your medical, mental, emotional, and financial recovery. Whether it’s from workers’ compensation or a standard settlement for accident victims, it’s within your legal rights to be financially compensated. 

The insurance industry has lawyers dedicated to making sure you settle quickly. Most importantly, they count on you being uninformed and settling for little or no money in personal injury cases. As your lawyer, we can help you obtain coverage for your medical bills and secure a settlement for your pain and suffering. 

Once Marken Law Group, PS, begins our representation, the calls from the insurance companies stop. We handle their calls with our legal expertise, which the insurance companies would rather avoid. We have a proven track record of taking cases to trial, which in turn protects the rights of our clients and helps them get the compensation they deserve.

Personal Injury Laws in Washington State

You may be surprised to learn that you have a limited period of time to file a personal injury lawsuit in the state of Washington. This limited-time period is called a “statute of limitations.” If you do not file your personal injury suit within the limitation period, you will be unable to pursue damages against the responsible party.

The statute of limitations in Washington State is three years. If you’ve suffered an injury from an accident that is someone else’s fault, you must file within three years of the date of the accident. It’s important to note that you only need to file your suit–your case does not need to move through the court system and receive a judgment within the three-year period.

As soon as you are out of danger and have received care for your injury, you should contact a local personal injury lawyer to assist you in evaluating your legal options.

Marken Law Group does not charge for an initial attorney consultation, and we only charge a fee if we receive a settlement that you approve. We also offer reduced fees for military personnel, veterans, and senior citizens. There is absolutely no risk in contacting one of our trusted and local Spokane personal injury lawyers, so be sure to call us at 509-879-4626 right away.

How Financial Compensations are Calculated in Court

When it comes time for a court to hear your case, it will evaluate the suit based on “pure comparative negligence.” Pure comparative negligence examines who is at fault, and in Washington State, you may be assigned part of the blame for your injury. The extent of your own negligence or role in the accident can have an impact on the amount of money you are awarded (if any).

For example, the court might rule that the at-fault party (the plaintiff) is 80% to blame for the injury, and you are 20% at fault. Therefore, you will only receive 80% of the compensation that is awarded (20% will be forfeited to account for your percentage of negligence).

By determining the at-fault party and building a compelling lawsuit, we help you fight for the true value of damages that you’re entitled to.

Understanding 'Damages'

(Compensation for your personal injury)

“Damages” refers to the amount of money the plaintiff must pay you if they are found to be at fault for your injuries. A skilled personal injury attorney like Evan Marken has the knowledge and experience to fight for every penny you deserve.

You may be compensated for some or all of the following:

Lost Wages From Missing Work Due To Your Injury

If an accident or work injury forced you to miss paychecks, our personal injury lawyers pursue damages for lost wages, overtime, and reduced earning capacity. We coordinate workers’ compensation, prove fault, and build a strong legal injury case so you can focus on recovery.

Medical Bills

ER visits, surgery, and ongoing medical care add up fast; our injury attorneys hold the at-fault party and their insurer responsible for your medical bills.

Personal Property That Was Damaged Or Destroyed (For Example, Your Vehicle)

After a car accident or bicycle crash, we document damage to your vehicle and other personal property and seek compensation alongside your personal injury claim. Your injury lawyer proves fault, gathers repair/replacement estimates, and pursues full damages in a legal settlement.

Pain And Suffering

Pain and suffering affect far more than the body; our lawyers value non-economic damages in car accidents, medical malpractice, and wrongful death claims.

Secure Your Rights From Insurance Companies with Help from a Personal Injury Attorney

While many types of accidents fall under the umbrella of “personal injury,” the most common personal injury suits in Washington involve car accidents. If you’ve been injured in a car accident, your insurance company will evaluate the accident and your injuries and attempt to settle out of court.

Insurance companies are highly motivated to settle quickly, and often become pushy and overbearing to get you, the victim, to accept the settlement without fully thinking it through. You may feel bullied by the insurance company to make a quick decision, and doing so can cost you thousands of dollars in the long run, which is why having personal injury attorneys is very important.

It’s within your legal rights to receive the full and actual compensation you deserve. Never settle for your insurance company’s offer without first consulting with a personal injury attorney. More often than not, the offer the insurance company extends will be far less than what you deserve. Remember, it doesn’t cost you anything to call Marken Law Group, and you won’t pay any legal fees unless you accept the outcome we present to you.
