What To Do After a Car Accident
Taking the right steps immediately after an accident can make a big difference in your recovery and your claim. Our attorneys recommend:
- Call 911 and report the collision.
- Get medical care, even if your injuries seem minor.
- Gather photos, witness contact information, and driver details.
- Notify your insurance company but avoid providing recorded statements.
- Contact a
local car accident lawyer who can protect your rights and guide you through the next steps.
The sooner you speak with an attorney, the better positioned you’ll be to recover full compensation and handle insurance negotiations effectively.
How We Prove Fault and Build Your Case
Determining who’s responsible after a crash requires careful investigation. Our firm gathers police reports, medical records, and witness statements, and when needed, works with accident reconstruction experts to establish liability.
Washington follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning more than one party can share responsibility for a crash. Even if you’re partially at fault, you may still recover damages. The key is building strong evidence that shows how another driver’s actions caused or contributed to your injuries.
Bluhm Morgan PLLC handles every aspect of communication with insurers and opposing counsel so you can focus on recovery.
Maximizing Compensation for Car Accident Victims
Compensation in a car accident claim can cover more than just medical bills. Our attorneys pursue damages for lost wages, property repair, pain and suffering, and ongoing rehabilitation costs.
We’ve seen insurance companies undervalue injuries or push for quick settlements before victims understand the long-term effects of their crash. Our legal team negotiates assertively and is always prepared to
take a case to court if necessary.
Every client receives personal attention and clear updates throughout the process, ensuring your case gets the focus it deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions about Car Accident
How long do I have to file a car accident injury claim in Washington?
You typically have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. It’s best to start early, as evidence and witness recollection can fade over time.
What if the other driver’s insurance company calls me?
Avoid giving recorded statements or signing documents before speaking with your lawyer. Insurers often aim to minimize payouts; our attorneys handle all communication to protect your interests.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Under Washington’s comparative negligence law, you may still recover damages even if you share some responsibility for the crash, though your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
