How to Protect Yourself After a Car Accident Tips from Our Auto Accident Attorneys

Contact Our Law Firm

If you or a loved one was injured in a car accident, contact our Seattle car accident attorneys as soon as possible. During your free consultation, we can review your case and recommend the next steps.

Get Medical Care Right Away

Whether you think you sustained a serious injury or not, you should see a doctor right away to get an accurate diagnosis. This can prove incredibly important to your car accident claim.

Don't Settle With Insurance Companies

If the other driver's insurance company contacts you, do not speak to them until you have had a chance to speak to our auto accident attorneys. Don't accept any settlements until you talk to us.

File a Police Report

You must contact the police and file a police report immediately after the motor vehicle accident. Our attorneys can help you obtain a copy of the report.

Keep Track of Every Record

Take photos of any property damage or injuries sustained during the auto accident. Keep track of medical bills, lost wages, or any other expenses that you might have incurred as a result of your crash.

"Five stars is not enough!"

"As another reviewer said - 'Five stars is not enough!' I was very focused on finding highly experienced, knowledgeable, and practical counsel to handle my matter. Matt Quick and the Quick Law Group (QLG) provided all that and more. QLG did an excellent job and obtained a great result. I would highly recommend QLG to my friends and family, if they ever had a need for such services." W. David M.

After a Car Accident, You Have Two Options:

If you sustain injuries or property damage during an auto accident, there are two ways that our personal injury attorneys can help you recover compensation.

Filing an Insurance Claim

We'll begin by filing a car accident claim with the other driver's insurance company. Because insurance companies often try to settle car accident cases quickly, they might offer a lower amount than what you deserve. Our car accident lawyers will negotiate on your behalf to achieve a fair settlement.

Filing a Lawsuit

If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, our injury lawyers will help you file a lawsuit so that you can recover the compensation you truly deserve. As our client, you can depend on us to pursue nothing less than the restitution you are owed, even when that means going to court.

Vision Zero: Seattle's Plan to End Traffic Deaths and Injuries by 2030

Vision Zero is Seattle's plan to create safer streets and connect people, places, and products through a high-quality transportation system. The goal is to prevent all traffic-related deaths and serious injuries on Seattle's streets by the year 2030.

Why zero? Because zero is the only acceptable number of people that should be harmed by traffic accidents.

Quick Law Group, PLLC is proud to be part of a community that is taking such bold steps in the name of public safety. However, when motor vehicle accidents occur along the way to pursuing this goal, our Seattle car accident lawyers are here to protect the rights of innocent victims.

A Client's 5-Star Review

"Liz Quick is a brilliant trial attorney. I was the plaintiff in my case and I remember sitting in that courtroom thinking 'She is incredible!'  She operated with such ease and such confidence in what she was doing that I just couldn’t be anything less than in total awe of her. She also was amazingly pleasant to just be around. When you are feeling as vulnerable as I felt during during the trial, having someone on your side like Liz meant so much." Deanna Z.

Our Car Accident
Verdicts & Settlements

Our car accident lawyers are dedicated to helping clients receive maximum compensation following a crash. As trained trial lawyers, we are not afraid to go to court to recover the maximum compensation possible for your injury claim.

Here are some of the verdicts we have been able to secure for accident victims:

  • money bag with $974,000

    Balance Disorder Caused by Rear-End Crash

    Our client, Ms. N, was injured in a rear-end crash caused by a driver who was texting and driving. The other driver's insurance company refused to pay his $100,000 liability insurance to our client. After giving the insurance company many opportunities to settle within the policy limits, we took the case to court. The jury awarded her $974,000 in damages.

  • money bag with $212,998

    Injuries from Rear-End Collision Caused by a Distracted Driver

    Our client, Mr. J, was injured in a rear-end collision caused by a driver who was taking pictures of scenery while driving. The other driver's rental car company refused to pay for the injuries our client suffered and offered a small, unjust settlement. Our injury lawyers took the rental car company to court and recovered $212,998 on behalf of our client.

  • money bag with $265,000

    Verdict for Injuries from Rollover Collision

    Our client, Mr. B, was injured in a T-bone, double rollover collision after another driver was speeding in a 25-mile-per-hour zone on a hilly road in the dark. Because our client's joint damage was not visible on an X-ray or MRI, the insurance company denied his injury claim. Our car accident attorneys took the case to court and recovered $265,000.

Our tactful yet firm approach with insurance companies and opposing counsel makes it possible for us to favorably resolve many cases without having to go to trial. However, our attorneys are no beginners when it comes to the courtroom, and our personal injury law office in Bellevue is purposefully located just two minutes away from the King County District Court building. With six- and seven-figure victories for car accident victims under our belts, we are more than prepared to represent your best interests in a court of law.

Washington's Liability and Insurance Laws

Comparative Fault

Washington is a comparative fault state, meaning that if a person is partially at fault for an accident, their compensation will be reduced by the amount they are at fault. For example, if a person is determined to be 20% at fault for the accident and is also determined to have suffered $10,000 in losses, their compensation will be reduced to $8,000.

No Damage Caps

Some states limit the compensation you can receive from a settlement or jury award for an injury claim. However, Washington does not have any caps on the compensation you can receive.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents

Is it worth hiring an attorney after a car accident even if I don't think I'm seriously hurt?

Yes. Injuries often seem minor after an accident, but can have serious effects that are not immediately apparent. Car accident attorneys work with medical experts to diagnose your injuries and predict how they will affect you for the rest of your life. With the help of an injury lawyer, you can recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and any pain and suffering caused by the collision.

Can I get a settlement for a car accident without a lawyer?

You can receive a settlement from an insurance company, but there are some downsides to settling a case without a lawyer. Insurance companies often try to settle cases quickly and for the lowest amount possible. But our car accident lawyers will fight to recover an amount that truly covers the losses caused by the accident. The fact is that you might not even know the true extent of your losses; our attorneys can make that determination and go to work pursuing justice. 

What is a reasonable settlement for a car accident?

A reasonable settlement is one that accounts for the full extent of the physical injuries, property damage, and other losses caused by your accident. It should include past and future medical bills, lost wages, and emotional losses.

How much do lawyers charge for accident claims?

There are zero up-front costs when you hire a car accident lawyer with our firm. Our attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning they do not get paid until (and unless) they are able to recover a settlement or verdict on your behalf.

How long does it take to collect?

Every car accident case is different, so the length of time it takes to reach a settlement or verdict varies. Our law firm tries to recover the highest possible compensation in the least amount of time, but we are willing to work with you as long as it takes to recover what you truly deserve. If necessary, we will take the case to trial.

Why might my case take a long time?

While insurance companies are more interested in settling your case as quickly as possible, our car accident lawyers are dedicated to recovering the amount of compensation you need in order to restore the life you had before your accident, or achieve the closest restoration possible. Again, since your attorney collects no fees unless they win your case or achieve a settlement, they have every incentive to fight for maximum compensation.

When should I contact a lawyer after a car accident?

We recommend that you contact a lawyer immediately after your accident. A personal injury lawyer can guide you in the right direction and ensure that you take all of the right steps to ensure a positive outcome to your case.

Helping Clients Through Difficult Times

"My husband and I worked with Matt after his motor vehicle accident. He was patient with my husband as he grappled to understand his injuries as well as the legal system without previous accidents and with Spanish as his primary language. Medical bills and a long term plan were initially overwhelming but taking it one step at a time and checking in regularly allowed for a helpful and safe outcome in every way." Taralee A.
