Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Bellingham?
Get medical attention right away, document the scene (photos and witness info), and contact an attorney before speaking with insurance companies.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Washington?
Generally, you have three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Washington. (There are limited exceptions, so acting sooner is always better.)
Will I have to go to trial?
Not always. Most cases settle through insurance negotiations, but if the insurance company won’t offer a fair settlement, we’re ready to take your case to trial. We prepare every case as if it may go to court, so you have the strongest position either way.
Can I still sue if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Yes. Washington follows a pure comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault (for example, being 20% at fault would reduce your award by 20%).
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Bellingham?
It costs nothing upfront to hire us. Mumford Injury Law works on a contingency fee basis – you don’t pay unless we recover compensation for you.
