TAKING ON THE INSURANCE COMPANIES

Dealing with insurance companies can be frustrating, especially when they offer you a settlement for far less than what your claim is worth. The insurance companies are in the business of making money, so the less they pay to you, the more they make themselves. We will fight the insurance company for you. We regularly take on the biggest companies in the insurance industry such as Allstate, State Farm, Farmers, USAA, American Family, Progressive, among many others. We don’t back down because we know what works and we know success – our record shows it. Companies deal differently with us than they do other firms simply because they know that if they don’t meet our demands, we will sue and take the matter to court.

SEATTLE PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS

Personal injury refers to the area of law that seeks to protect victims who are harmed (caused personal injury or wrongful death) by the negligence of another person or entity. Negligence is defined as the failure to act with the prudence that a reasonable person, under the same circumstances, would have exercised. Negligence occurs when a defendant’s conduct imposes an unreasonable risk upon another, which results in personal injury or wrongful death to that person. Every person has a legal duty which requires that he or she conduct himself according to a certain standard, so as to avoid unreasonable risk to others. If someone fails to conform with that duty and causes injury or death to another person, he or she may be liable for the damages caused. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured as a result of negligence or misconduct on the part of someone else, contact a Seattle personal injury attorney at Wattel & York, Attorneys at Law. Our experienced personal injury attorneys can help you recover financial compensation for your accident claim.

The personal injury lawyers at Wattel & York provide legal representation to those who claim to have been injured, physically or psychologically, as a result of the negligence or wrongdoing of another person, company, government agency, or other entity. Our lawyers are knowledgeable and have experience with tort law, which includes civil wrongs and economic or non-economic damages to a person’s property, reputation, or rights. There are three general categories of torts:

• Intentional torts – those wrongs which the defendant knew or should have known would occur through their actions (e.g., intentionally hitting a person).
• Negligent torts – occur when the defendant’s actions were unreasonably unsafe (e.g., causing an accident by failing to obey traffic rules).
• Strict liability torts – wrongs do not depend on the degree of carefulness by the defendant, but are established when a particular action causes damage (e.g., liability for making and selling defective products).
