Representing Car Accident Victims for Over 20 Years

The Bernard Law Group, has been representing the victims of negligence for two decades. Our team of dedicated lawyers represents those who have suffered from serious injuries, financial loss, personal loss and future damages due to negligence. Negligence includes, but is not limited to, Washington car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and truck accidents.

Car accidents change the lives of both the victim and their families. In fact, in the year 2001, over 3 million people were seriously hurt in motor vehicle accidents, and approximately 42 thousand people were killed.

Repairs to your vehicle are important and can be assessed by a body shop. Physical and emotional problems related to your auto accident are of the utmost importance. Some results of an auto accident are pain and suffering, loss of current and future income, impaired physical ability, and loss of enjoyment, just to name a few. After an auto accident, contact a Seattle Auto Accident Attorney immediately to begin the process of a financial settlement. Do not consider accepting a settlement from an insurance company without first contacting and obtaining a lawyer.

The Bernard Law Group, has years of experience in personal injury matters. Our skilled and experienced team of Washington car accident lawyers will examine the facts, evaluate your claim, determine which parties and insurance companies are responsible, and organize all of the details of preparing and presenting your case.

There are three components in making a claim for personal injury:

  1. Liability, that is, who caused the accident and who is legally responsible.
  2. Establishing an amount of damages to which you are legally entitled.
  3. Determining where to collect the damages, specifically what sources, such as insurance or individual assets, are available for payment of a settlement or damage awards.

As Seattle personal injury attorneys, we help our clients establish the liability, evaluate and prove the damages, and collect the settlement or judgment. We handle all of the details and are prepared to help our clients get through the hardships and stress created by an auto accident.

We can prove if road conditions were unsafe, if there was inadequate safety and warning, or any other factors that may have been responsible for an accident. Much of this evidence is highly sensitive and may deteriorate over time. Sadly, many accident victims fail to act in defense of their rights until it is too late. Don’t let your case slip away from you.
