AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS: When you get into a car accident (including motorcyle or truck accident), it is highly likely that you will interact with an insurance company, large or small. Working with and sometimes litigating against insurance companies may involve many complicated factors. This is why it is important that you contact an Attorney to represent you during this complex process. If you have been physically injured in a car accident, Call The Firm Now (Contact Us).
TOXIC TORTS: Toxic Torts involves injury resulting from toxic chemicals or pharmaceutical drugs. It may also include harms caused by asbestos, mold infestation, and more recently, that which have involved Chinese drywall. This area of the law is akin to a products liability claim. If you feel you have been injured from such an injury, Call The Firm Now (Contact Us).
PRODUCTS LIABILITY: A Products Liability action may involve defective products. These types of lawsuits may involve manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers. Once a product is presented into, what many attorneys understand as, the 'stream of commerce', certain obligations may be attached, duties such as that which requires a product to be safe. One general caveat to this is that the consumer should have been using the product for its particular purpose. However, if a product is not safe and it injures a person, the actual manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, or retailers may be held liable. The significant areas of product liability claims involve defective products, whether they are defects that occurred during the manufacturing process or the designing process. This area of the law can become complex. For this reason, if you have been injured by a product, do not hesitate to contact the Firm. Call The Firm Now (Contact Us).
Insurance Bad Faith
Insurance Fair Conduct Act (IFCA) Bad Faith Claims
INSURANCE FAIR CONDUCT ACT (IFCA): Now that Referendum 67 is passed, the Washington Insurance Fair Conduct Act (IFCA) is now in effect. When you first agreed to pay monthly premiums, the insurance company agreed to compensate you according to the law (in the event of an accident) and according to prior agreement. Unfortunately sometimes, the individual representing the insurance company may not live up to the agreement and thus, subsequently get the insurance company into a lot of trouble. When an insurance company does not act "reasonably" when settling claims, the very same company may be held liable for treble (triple) damages in a court of law. This is a serious civil offense and the insurance company may be held accountable for such harms and wrongs. Call The Firm Now (Contact Us).
