Q. How soon after an accident should I contact an attorney?

A. If there are injuries or the possibility of injuries, contact an attorney that understands car accident lawsuits as soon as possible. Whether you are the victim or the cause of the accident, having good legal advice from the beginning can make the difference between a successful case and great loss. I strongly recommend you retain counsel of an experienced personal injury trial attorney. Do Not wait.

• Jane Doe v. John Doe driver: King County Superior Court No. 02-2-26432-8 Seattle woman involved in a motor vehicle accident suffered spinal injuries to her neck and low back, radiculopathy, and a worsening of her pre-existing fibromyalgia. A Microsoft employee with a stellar record, she was forced to miss about one year of work over 4 years. According to her rheumatologists, she could not return to her high-stress job as the extra hours and demands of being bent over a computer for most of the day made her injuries worse and caused her to lose sleep. The treating doctors told her to find a 30-40 hour a week job rather than her 50-60 hour position. Given that she was a large wage earner, the insurer agreed to pay its half million dollar policy limit to settle the case.

Settlement: $500,000

How do I choose the right attorney?
Choose the right attorney carefully. Be sure the attorney you hire practices only personal injury law. My practice is devoted to helping injured people. My firm only handles personal injury law cases for injured persons or victims of other torts.

My advice is to choose an attorney with whom you are comfortable and trust, one who is sensitive, caring and dedicated to helping injured people, and one who will aggressively represent you. It is unlikely that you will find any other attorney who has been through what I have been after my accident in July of 1985. Hire an attorney who has a track record of going to trial, not just settling cases, as insurance companies will settle for more compensation if your counsel has a track record of going to trial. Please email us at rob@kornfeldlaw.com or call 1 (800) 282-4878. We will gladly send you an informational brochure featuring our firm’s successes at no charge.
