Vancouver Car Accident Injury Attorneys

The information that you receive at the scene of a car accident is typically an “Exchange of Information”, not an actual police report. The real report is created and submitted after the fact by the police officer who responds to your accident.

To get your accident report, visit the Washington State Patrol website and submit your request.

Insurance companies may request that you provide a recorded statement after you are involved in an auto accident. We advise against this, as the insurance company is going to use your statement to build a case against your claim. Should you seek the help of a personal injury attorney, they’ll tell you NOT to give a statement to anyone affiliated with the insurance company.

Don’t let insurance representatives pressure or intimidate you. Even if you already gave a recorded statement, contact Washington Law Center today for a free case review.

The state of Washington requires all drivers to have auto insurance. Despite this, Washington is the 5th highest state in the nation for uninsured or underinsured motorists, with 21% of Washingtonians driving without proper auto insurance. When choosing an insurance plan, be sure to pick a plan that includes Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Insurance (UIM/UM).

If you get into a car accident with an uninsured driver, hire a professional, experienced auto injury attorney who knows the law and can win your case. Call us for a free case review and remember, you pay no fee until we win your case!

Cities, like the city of Vancouver, are responsible to all drivers, whether those persons are negligent or fault-free, to maintain the city’s roadways in a manner that is safe for travel. Cities are held to the same standard of negligence as private parties.

Lots of workers drive in vehicles as part of their job duties. This is the reason motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of work-related deaths in the United States. 

In 2019, work-related crashes cost employers $39 billion, according to the CDC and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

Washington Law Center attorneys have experience with a wide variety of personal injury claims including, trucking accidents, L&I or workers’ compensation claims, wrongful death, and more. Call us today.

You can be at risk even if you aren’t driving in a car. The CDC also reports about 1 in 5 of the people who died in crashes involving a distracted driver in 2019 were not in vehicles―they were walking, riding their bikes, or otherwise outside of a motor vehicle. About 3,000 people die in car accidents that involve a distracted driver each year.

The average one-way commute in Vancouver is just under 30 minutes. This statistic has increased every year since 2010. The wet weather in the state of Washington can create hazardous driving conditions. Slippery roads can be a challenge for any driver, no matter how experienced. 

Some days it feels like every day is a rainy day. This results in more traffic during our sunny summer months. Good weather brings out more residents and tourists. It also is a time where there is more road construction in King County.

More construction on the road leads to more distracted drivers and more accidents with drivers doing their best to navigate the obstacles.
