- A car accident where the other driver is at fault.
- Medical malpractice.
- Negligent behavior by someone who injured you.
- Failure of others to safely maintain a structure or pathway.
- Your workplace not providing appropriate safety equipment or training.
No matter what form your accident takes when you are owed for your damages, you need legal representation to ensure your losses, time, and suffering are not in vain.

When you work with a reputable and experienced personal injury lawyer from Strong Law, you can rest assured you are getting the best legal representation available in Vancouver and the surrounding area.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again.
“Unbelievable work!”
I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!”
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”
“I hired Strong Law after my car accident. Jed and his team worked hard on my case. They were professional and compassionate through my surgery and as I recovered, and they were awesome on communication. I got justice and awesome compensation. I would recommend Strong Law to anyone in my situation.”
Types of Personal Injury Cases in Vancouver, WA
When You Are Suffering from a Personal Injury, You Do not Care How You Were Injured – You Want Help.
There are many types of personal injury cases, and they can happen at any time or place where an injury is a possibility. Cases, where the injured party is owed damages by another, arise when the other party is at fault in some way. This fault can manifest through defective equipment, unsafe property, contaminated food, drugs, and many more.
The most common types of personal injury cases are:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Bike accidents
- Wrongful death
- Dog bite injuries
- Catastrophic injuries
- Brain trauma.
Liability for an injury will depend on the applicable laws for the specific circumstances of your injury. However, the circumstances that resulted in your injury usually don’t matter much when it comes to compensation.
When another person is responsible for your pain and suffering, that person must pay your medical bills, compensate you for lost income due to the injury, and potentially pay punitive fines for your pain and suffering.
Oftentimes, insurance companies will cover the majority of any costs. But regardless of who pays, the attorneys at Strong Law will see that you are not put in financial straits due to the actions of another.
FAQs to Ask Personal Injury Lawyers in Vancouver, WA
When your financial future and health are on the line, you want to have all your questions answered before making life-altering decisions. The following are some of the most frequent questions potential clients ask us.

Should I talk to insurance representatives?
It is always best to let your personal injury representative speak to insurance company employees first. The goal of the insurance company is to reduce your payout or deny it. Your personal injury attorney understands this and will use the language of personal injury law and insurance to avoid damaging the value of your claim.
Can I sue for the wrongful death of a loved one?
Depending on your relationship with the deceased, you may have the right to sue for wrongful death. Your Vancouver personal injury attorney will explain your rights and potential recovery for a wrongful death.
Furthermore, you may be able to sue for a loved one, even if they are not deceased. If the injured party is a dependent or is unable to petition on their own due to injury, you can sue on their behalf.
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in Washington?
The statute of limitations for both personal injury and wrongful death cases in Washington state is three years.
What should I avoid doing after suffering an injury?
Even if another party is liable for your injury, you can hurt your case if you do or say the wrong things. Insurance companies will use any excuse to decrease your compensation or deny your claim. After suffering a personal injury, be careful not to:
- Share details about the injury on social media.
- Speak to any insurance company involved without having a lawyer present.
- Speak to other parties involved in the accident or injury.
- Sign anything without consulting your lawyer.
- Provide details to any investigator (private or law enforcement) without advice from your lawyer.
You will need to provide personal identification information to all insurance companies. Doing that is fine. Just do not be tricked into giving additional details.
Your doctor might also ask you for additional details they need to treat you properly. You can speak freely with your doctor since that communication is protected and cannot be used against you in court.
But as much as you might want to share with friends and family, you should limit any communication about your health and the incident to the minimum necessary. You will be able to share the details after you have received compensation.
What if I cannot afford to hire a lawyer?
You can always afford a Strong Law personal injury attorney because we charge you nothing unless you receive compensation. Your initial evaluation is completely free.

Can You Give Me An Assessment Of My Case?

What Should I Do If I’m Having Problems, Like Their Insurance Company Is Calling Me?
Always secure an attorney first. If you sign up with Strong Law now, you can advise their insurance company that you have representation and give them our name and contact information. From that time forward, they should not be contacting you again; it’s the law. If you do not sign with an attorney, like Strong Law, you will need to speak with them and represent yourself to resolve your injury. We strongly urge against this; insurance companies are skilled at ensuring their best interests over yours.
What Are Common Reasons For Insurance Injury Denials?
Make sure you receive medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident, otherwise insurance may argue your pain is from an unrelated incident.Insurance companies will be going out of their way to find some proof that the accident was your fault. Don’t be intimidated.If you have preexisting medical conditions that make you more likely to suffer an injury, it is not uncommon for insurance agencies to deny claims based on this.
How Long Does A Case Take To Settle?
It depends on many factors like medical care, future needs, evidence, proof of liability, and many others. Some cases take months while others can last a couple years. Ultimately, our goal is to represent you and what is going to be best for you in the long run.
Why Can Cases Last Years?
Because the law dictates it. There are many layers to make sure the insurance companies treat you with optimal care. For example, there will be time spent for medical treatments you might need. There is time to gather the needed medical reports and discover any long term impacts this injury will have on your life today and into the future. There is time for the other side to review our demands, research, and respond as well. It can feel like a long time, but we follow the law and strategize for the best benefit to you. We are with you the whole time.
