Q: Where can I get help with my ongoing 3rd party claim with the other drivers auto insurance company in Washington State??
3rd time DUI offender plowed into our front yard, our fence, and our car at a high rate of speed. His car finally stopped only about 10 feet from the room in which we were at that morning. Our car was deemed a total loss as this was the only thing that stopped the driver from plowing right into our home. This also resulted in a diagnosis of PTSD in direct relation to the accident. I have sought and continue to receive medical (Behavioral Mental Health) care. I have been dealing with the other drivers insurance company as a 3rd party claim. They have settled our total loss vehicle, but we have yet to settle any property damage claim or bodily injury claim. I AM IN NEED OF AN ATTORNEY THAT CAN CAN PLEASE HELP ME AS I FEEL THE NEXT STEPS IN THE REST OF THE SETTLEMEMT ARE TOO DIFFICULT TO DO ALONE. I have EVERYTHING DOCUMENTED AND SAVED (documents, correspondence, accident/police reports, medical bills, doctors notes/summaries). This has just become too much for me to handle. Thank you.
A: A Washington attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. You're correct; this could be an overwhelming matter because of the number of elements it contains. You indicate seeking an attorney. Your best option is to reach out to attorneys to try to arrange a free initial consult. In addition to your own searches, you could use the tab above (Find-a-Lawyer). Also, most state bar associations have resources for attorney referral services. Good luck
