Traumatic Brain Injury

Your health and safety are most important. Get medical help right away, even if your injuries feel small. Take pictures to record the accident. Get contact information from witnesses and tell the authorities about it. Reach out to a personal injury lawyer soon to save your legal rights.

At Russell & Hill, we work on a contingency fee, which you do not pay upfront. We only charge you if we win your case. That means you do not have to pay any legal fees before we get compensation for you.

The time limit for filing personal injury claims is different in each state. In Washington, you have three years from the day of the injury to start your case. It is important to act fast to keep evidence and make your case stronger.

Never agree to a settlement without checking with your lawyer. Insurance companies usually offer small settlements that do not cover all your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Our lawyers will review the offer and work to get your deserved payment.

You might have a case if you have been hurt because of what someone else did. Common examples are car accidents, slip and fall accidents, work injuries, and healthcare mistakes. Our legal team will look at the details, determine who is responsible, and help you choose what to do next.

Most injury cases are settled out of court through talks. However, if we can’t reach a fair deal, we are ready to take your case to trial and fight for the most money.

You may qualify for different kinds of payment, including:
1.Medical costs (now and later)
2.Lost income and less ability to earn
3.Pain and discomfort
4.Emotional pain
5.Damage to property
6.Extra damages (in cases of extreme carelessness)

Washington has a rule called comparative negligence. This means you can still get money for damages even if you are partly at fault. But, the amount you receive might be less because of how much fault is yours. Our lawyers will help you check and lower any possible blame.

The timeline can change based on how complex the case is, how serious the injuries are, and if a settlement is reached or the case goes to trial. Some cases can be done in a few months. Others might take a year or more if needed.

To get the best out of your consultation, you should bring:
✔ Medical records and bills
✔ Police or accident reports
✔ Photos or videos of the accident scene and injuries
✔ Witness contact information
✔ Insurance letters
✔ Pay stubs (if you lost wages because of the injury)

If the party in charge lacks insurance, you may still find options. We can look into claims with your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. You can also seek payment from other parties that may be involved.

It’s easy—contact us today for a free consultation. We will review your case, answer any questions, and help you determine the next steps. There are no upfront fees; we only earn money when we win your case.
