Car Accident Attorney

Being in a car accident can be overwhelming. David Ranz, a top car accident lawyer based in Federal Way, is ready to help you protect your rights, manage your case, and negotiate your settlement, so you can focus on your recovery and putting your life back together.

Car, truck, and SUV accidents happen day and night in clear weather and in rainy, stormy, and snowy weather. Car accidents occur in heavy traffic and light traffic. Road hazards can contribute to accidents – potholes, loose gravel, bumps, debris, standing water, black ice, and snow. Drivers and passengers involved in the accident may be injured. Some injuries may be evident at the accident scene, and some injuries, such as those from low-impact rear-end crashes, may take days to surface. Property damage to vehicle contents is typical – phones, tablets, laptops, ski racks, bike racks, and other possessions in and attached to your vehicle may be damaged or ruined. Whether someone or something hits your vehicle or your vehicle crashes into something or someone, it is helpful to contact an attorney for legal advice and to protect your rights.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you have been in a car accident, you probably have many questions. Here are answers to a few. Have more questions? Contact us for a free case evaluation.

Q. Why Should I Hire a Lawyer Instead of Dealing Directly with My Insurance Company?

A. Your insurance company’s adjusters are trained to settle your car accident case for as little money as possible. They downplay what your recovery will cost and count on your inexperience to get you to settle quickly and for less than you will likely need to fully recover: your health, expenses related to your car accident (including medical bills, car repairs, replacing items in your car that were damaged in your accident, etc.), compensation for lost wages, and more. Car accident attorney David Ranz has extensive experience representing car accident victims. We know what is fair and will help you to get a fair settlement.

Q. What is My Case Worth?

A. A great car accident attorney can maximize your settlement or award by thoroughly investigating your case and effectively negotiating on your behalf. Because every car accident and person is unique, calculating a fair settlement amount requires consideration of many factors. It requires collection and presentation of ALL a person’s damages, the ability to tell YOUR story, skillful negotiation, and possible litigation to get justice and a fair outcome. People who represent themselves in their car accident settlement with insurance companies are at a significant disadvantage. Car accident attorney David Ranz has helped hundreds of clients receive a fair settlement for their car accidents.

Q. Is It Too Late to Call David Ranz if the Insurance Company Offered Me a Settlement Amount?

A. If you have not accepted the settlement and/or signed settlement paperwork, call or text David Ranz and have your case reviewed. Being in a car accident can turn your life upside down. Most of our clients came to us because they were further hurt when the insurance company made its settlement offer. Often, the offer does not cover the medical bills, lost wages, and bills racked up because of the reckless negligence of the at-fault driver. Most people in a car accident want to get on with their lives but cannot accept such an insulting offer and be out of pocket.

Accidents Happen

In 2019, there were 111,664 car accidents in Washington state – an average of one car accident every four minutes and forty-two seconds.
