> Many victims of whiplash find themselves in serious financial trouble. For help seeing a way forward, call a Seattle whiplash attorney.

Whiplash may seem like a relatively minor injury. But sustaining this neck injury in a car accident can cause serious upheaval in your life, making it difficult to live comfortably or take care of your financial responsibilities.

To minimize these problems, you have the right to file a personal injury claim against the liable party to seek compensation for the damages he or she caused you. However, if you want to be successful, you may need help from a Seattle whiplash lawyer. The good news is that our team at Craig Swapp & Associates is here and ready to help.

The Statute of Limitations and Your Neck Injury

Some injuries, like a broken bone or lost limb , are immediately noticeable after a car crash. Other injuries, like whiplash , take a bit longer to make themselves known. Symptoms tend to develop over time, making it a bit more difficult to obtain an instant diagnosis.

However, it’s crucial that you see a healthcare provider as soon as you do begin to notice your symptoms. Doing so will help ensure that you are able to file a claim against the liable party and secure compensation.

Every state has strict regulations regarding how long a victim has to file a personal injury claim . This rule is referred to as the statute of limitations, and filing outside these time constraints could lead to a claim denial.

In the state of Washington, you have three years from the date of your accident to file your claim. Your Seattle whiplash claim lawyer will ensure your claim is filed correctly the first time around and gather all the appropriate evidence as quickly as possible so you don’t have to worry about the process taking any longer than necessary.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
