The first goal when we, the attorneys at the Peterson Law Offices, file your Vancouver lawsuit is to win compensation for your personal injury. There is so much more to a personal injury than the initial medical bills. There may be long-term injuries or rehabilitation as well as physical therapy, loss of wages, and other costs. We are experienced at determining the full scope of a victim's injury in order to ensure just compensation for our clients.
By filing a lawsuit, you accomplish two things. One, you let the parties involved know that you are quite serious. The other is that the person who caused your injury will be legally obligated to pay punitive damages. You have the right to compensatory damages, but if the court finds the other party intentionally guilty, you may be awarded punitive damages as well.
Most personal injury claims that we handle do not require a lawsuit,
but rather settle out of court. Settling a personal injury claim is a long negotiation process, even when the damage to your vehicle or your person is relatively minor. There are offers and counteroffers. You're up against adjusters who have highly experienced with cases such as yours. Plus, you're probably facing additional stresses from your injury and financial loss. If you have no legal background and little experience, the entire ordeal can be very overwhelming.
When you allow us to help you file your suit, you have no out-of-pocket expenses. We don't charge for your initial consultation, but we do start working on your case right away. Plus, when you hire an experienced lawyer, you are likely to receive a much larger settlement than you would if you chose to pursue the claim on your own.
