I am very Lucky to have found Ian De Verna for my attorney. I was injured in a car accident and while Ian was working on my case I was hit by someone again. This time the person had no insurance I was injured again and my brand new car was totaled. Being injured again I was pretty scared but thankfully Ian took on this case for uninsured motorist against my insurance company as well. It was a challenge I am sure but Ian and his staff were very professional and caring the whole time. With all Ian's hard work he was able to get policy limits for both cases. Ian is not only good at his profession but truly cares about his clients and works very hard with his great group of people at Becker Franklin Rovang Injury office

Questions about Tacoma Motorcycle Accident Claims
What Compensation is Available after a Motorcycle Accident?
Victims of motorcycle accidents in Tacoma can seek compensation for damages like medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Specific compensation depends on the accident details and any attributed fault. We also assess emotional distress, loss of consortium, and effects on earning capacity when those losses are supported by the facts and available documentation.
How Do I Prove Fault in a Motorcycle Accident?
Proving fault typically requires evidence that another party acted negligently. Relevant materials can include eyewitness accounts, photographs, collision reports, vehicle and roadway information, medical documentation, and other records tied to the crash. We examine the available evidence, including driver behavior, right-of-way, lane position, visibility, road conditions, and vehicle maintenance, to identify how the collision occurred and address disputed liability.
What Should I Do If Contacted by an Insurance Company?
An adjuster may request a recorded statement, medical authorization, or signed settlement documents before the full effect of an injury is known. Avoid giving statements without legal guidance. Contacting Becker Franklin Rovang gives you an opportunity to have us review the request, explain the documents in plain language, and assess whether an offer accounts for documented treatment, future care, income effects, and property loss.
Are There Time Limits for Filing a Motorcycle Accident Claim?
In Washington, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including those involving motorcycle accidents, is generally three years from the date of the accident. However, specific circumstances may affect this timeline. Washington Revised Code section 4.16.080 addresses this filing period, but exceptions and other deadlines can depend on the parties, facts, and type of claim involved.
How Does Washington’s Comparative Fault Law Affect My Case?
Washington’s comparative fault law means that your percentage of fault can reduce the compensation you can recover. You may still recover damages even if you’re partially at fault. We assess driver behavior, road conditions, vehicle information, collision reports, and other evidence to challenge unsupported fault allegations. The effect of comparative fault depends on the evidence, the assigned percentage, and the damages established in the claim.
