Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do after a motorcycle crash?

    Your safety comes first—get immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine. Then, document the scene if you’re able: take photos of your bike, injuries, and the surrounding area. Get the contact and insurance information of any drivers involved. Most importantly, contact an attorney before speaking to insurance adjusters. What you say early on can affect your entire case.

    Start the Conversation
  • Do I need a lawyer if the driver was clearly at fault?

    Yes. Even when fault seems obvious, insurers will often attempt to shift blame onto the rider or minimize your injuries. A lawyer ensures your rights are protected, helps you document your damages properly, and negotiates aggressively so you aren’t pressured into accepting a lowball settlement.

  • What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

    You may still be eligible for compensation, even if not wearing a helmet. However, Washington law does require helmets, and not wearing one could impact certain parts of your claim, particularly if you suffered a head injury. We assess how this might affect your case and build the strongest strategy possible.

  • Can I recover damages if I was partly at fault?

    Yes. Washington follows a “comparative fault” rule. That means even if you were partially responsible for the accident, you can still recover damages—your compensation is just reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're found 20% at fault, your total award would be reduced by 20%.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    In Washington, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of the accident. However, the sooner you act, the stronger your case will be. Early legal guidance helps preserve evidence, secure witness statements, and prevent mistakes that could weaken your claim.
