Understanding Fault in Tukwila Car Accident Claims
Washington is a “pure comparative fault” state. This means that all parties may be found partially liable by the court. It also means that if you were partially at fault, you will still be able to seek compensation for your damages.
In most states, you would be barred from seeking compensation if you were more than 50% at fault in the accident. This is not true in Washington. Here, you could be 99% at fault and still potentially recover compensation from the party who was 1% at fault.
However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you.
For example, if the court finds that you were 20% at fault in a car accident, your compensation will be reduced by 20%. So, if your award is for $100,000, you would receive only $80,000 because the award was reduced by 20% – your percentage of fault.
The Tukwila accident attorneys at Brumley Law Firm work hard to minimize the assignment of any fault to you and to maximize your compensation.
Why You Should Act Quickly After A Tukwila Car Accident
After your car accident, you should promptly seek the advice and representation of a Tukwila car accident lawyer. There is a statute of limitations for all Washington personal injury claims, which is generally three years from the date of the accident. If you miss your deadline for filing you will not be able to recover compensation for your damages.
Additionally, you need to quickly gather and safeguard important evidence. Evidence can be lost or diminished over time. You must preserve the evidence while it is still fresh.
The sooner you reach out to Brumley Law Firm, the sooner we can begin protecting your rights. We will immediately get to work building your case and securing solid evidence to support your claims.
