Taking advantage of this advice can prove extremely valuable as your boat accident attorneys move forward with your case.
The key to maximizing your compensation and getting you the settlement you deserve lies in proving negligence. You see, in order for an individual or entity to be held responsible for damages in a personal injury boating accident case, they must have behaved negligently.
In order to prove negligence, Everett boating accident attorneys must show the following four things to be true. First, the defendant must have been obligated to provide you (the plaintiff) with a reasonable level of care (also called duty of care). Second, the defendant must have breached this duty. Third, the breach of duty must have resulted in your accident. And finally, the damages you are claiming must have been a direct result of the accident.
At Strong Law in Everett, WA, our skilled boat accident lawyers are adept at proving negligence. We have a reputation for winning cases like this and helping our clients obtain settlements that appropriately compensate them for all they have lost.
In order to obtain a settlement that will leave you well-prepared for your future, you first must identify all of your damages. This is more complicated than it may seem. While some are easily recognizable, like direct medical expenses and boat repairs, others can be more challenging. In serious injuries, future medical costs may need to be forecast and dollar values assigned to intangibles like pain and suffering.
At Strong Law, we are adept at doing this, and we have access to a host of experts who can help calculate future costs and substantiate your losses. In Washington, victims of boat accidents can file suit for two types of damages:
Identifying the totality of your losses is a challenge with which we can help.
This step is important in maximizing your settlement and getting you the compensation you need. At Strong Law, we believe those who behave negligently should be held responsible. Victims should not be responsible for the financial losses related to their accidents.
The aftermath of a boating accident leaves victims in pain and confused. Many don’t know what to do. When faced with the option of filing a personal injury suit, they have lots of questions. Below are some of those we hear most often, along with our responses to them. We hope they will shed some light on the process and address your concerns.
The state of Washington has a statute of limitations that limits the amount of time victims have to file their personal injury lawsuits, which includes boating accidents, to three years from the date of the incident. The Everett boating accident lawyers at Strong Law will help to ensure your case is filed in a timely fashion.
The individual or entity whose negligence caused your accident can be held liable. These can include the driver or owner of another boat with which you collided, the passengers on your boat whose behavior caused an accident, and even the boat’s manufacturer (if there was some type of manufacturing defect that resulted in your injuries).
Immediately refer that individual to your boating accident lawyer in Everett, WA. It is important to realize the insurance company does not have your best interests at heart. Let our experienced professionals manage these communications on your behalf.
If negligence was the cause of the accident that took the life of your loved one, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death lawsuit on their behalf. Our team of wrongful death lawyers can help determine if this is something which you should pursue.
You may be. As a pure comparative fault state, Washington allows accident victims to recover damages for any portion of an accident for which they were NOT responsible. So, if you were mostly at fault for your accident, say 90%, you could still be eligible for a settlement. In cases like this the total damages would be reduced by your percentage of fault. Your boating accident attorney in Everett can help you to better understand this concept.
The causes of boating accidents are widespread. While some are caused by distracted boat driving or boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs, others are the result of disruptive passengers or equipment malfunction.
