When should I call an attorney?

It is generally considered best practice to seek an attorney’s assistance if you have been involved in any kind of accident or injury for which you were not at fault.  Some common examples include automobile accidents and car crash injuries, trucking collision injuries, slip and fall accidents, and personal injury situations where you or a loved one were harmed due to the negligence of another party or organization.

There are many reasons why it is advisable to use a local personal injury lawyer if you are a victim of an injury.  State statutes of limitation apply to injury and accident cases and insurers also vary from state to state.  Your lawyer should have experience with these specific laws and insurance operating procedures and can ensure that your case is thoroughly planned and executed and that all avenues have been explored.  Contact an attorney for more information regarding your Vancouver accident lawsuit. 

In Washington, you have three years from the date of your original injury to file a claim, Oregon is two years; however, it is in your best interest to call an accident lawyer in Vancouver as soon as possible and ensure that you carefully document the accident, injury, and corresponding medical expenses, wage losses, and other related financial information that you can be compensated for in a settlement.  The longer you wait and the less documentation you have, the less credible your case becomes, so keep this in mind when considering your options.
