Fielding Law Group Areas of Practice

Since insurance companies are for-profit companies, they are not necessarily enthused by large payouts. They will force you to prove each injury. They will exploit ambiguities in the evidence and then try to lay the blame on you. But that’s only if they can get away with it. A personal injury attorney can help you negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company.

Car Accidents

Some states in the U.S. are no-fault auto insurance states. Washington, however, is not. It’s considered a tort state for the purpose of handling auto accidents. That means that one or the other party is liable, guilty, or negligent for the accident.

In some cases, both parties may be partly to blame for an auto accident. This is called comparative fault or comparative negligence. This means that even if you were partly at fault for an auto accident you can still collect for your injuries. Don’t settle with the insurance company, they will send you a low offer hoping you’ll take it. You deserve more, and our Yakima car accident lawyers can help you recover what is fair.

“Everyone at fielding law group has been so wonderful and there for me every step of the way. They have worked hard getting me the help I’ve needed. I really want to thank my paralegals Symantha and Kyersten for always checking on how I was physically and mentally. My brother recommended Fielding Law Group after an accident that he and his family were in. I am so glad and grateful he did. All around helpful and efficient team! Thank you again!”

Even in cases where one party is clearly at fault, you still have to deal with their insurance company. Insurance adjusters will do everything in their power to deny or devalue your claim.

If you have serious injuries, a car accident lawyer can help you collect as much as you can for your:

• medical expenses,
• lost time from work, and
• pain and suffering.

Truck and Semi Accidents

Those injured by commercial trucks hardly ever walk away without serious injuries. While these companies and their drivers are well insured, dealing with the insurance companies is no simple task. Insurance adjusters want to ensure that they pay as little as possible for the truck accident regardless of the extent of your injuries or the fact that their client was at-fault. A skilled truck accident lawyer can help you negotiate a fair settlement. Setup a free case evaluation with one of our truck accident lawyers immediately, find out what your case is worth.

Motorcycle Accidents

Those who ride motorcycles are in an incredibly vulnerable position when another vehicle hits them, our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers can help you. To top it off, insurance companies generally try to lay the blame at their feet. This is because those who ride motorcycles have a reputation for being thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies who don’t follow traffic law. This stigma makes it easier for insurance companies to deny claims even when they involve serious injuries and biker was not at fault for the accident. We can help to ensure that your claim is paid fairly based on the evidence. Contact Fielding Law Group today for a free consultation.

Bus Accidents

Pedestrian and traffic accidents involving buses often involve some of the most extensive injuries. The more serious your injuries are, the more that is at stake in your injury accident claim. You will only get one chance to litigate your claim against the at-fault driver. You need a team of experienced bus accident lawyers to negotiate a fair settlement that covers all of your medical bills, compensates you for your missed time from work, and ensures that you can support yourself if you sustain a permanent impairment.

Bike Accidents

Cyclists on the road are seldom well protected against cars, trucks, and SUVs. Even minor accidents can end up causing major injuries to a defenseless cyclist. The general rule of thumb when hiring a traffic accident attorney is that the worse your injuries are, the more important it is to have an attorney manage your claim. You will only get one chance to get compensation for your injuries. A Yakima WA bicycle injury lawyer may be able to help you maximize your settlement from the insurance company.

Hit and Run Accidents

Uninsured and underinsured traffic accident insurance pays out when a driver injures you and then flees the scene of the accident. If your own insurance company is giving you a hard time about filing a claim or wants to shortchange you for your medical expenses by telling you that you’re partially liable, a car accident lawyer will help you get the full value of your expenses. Hit & run car accidents can be very complicated, and having an experienced car accident attorney on your side will allow you to focus on your recovery. Schedule a free case evaluation with one of our car accident lawyers, to find out what your case is worth.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians sustain serious injuries when struck by a vehicle. Those same pedestrians file claims with a driver’s insurance company only to be told that they are partly to blame for the accident, didn’t sustain the injuries they are claiming to have sustained, or offered a settlement that only reflects a fraction of the value of their claim. Our Yakima WA personal injury lawyer can help to ensure that the insurance company honors their debt to the injured party. Don’t settle for less than what you’re owed, schedule a free case evaluation at Fielding Law Group today.

Unsafe Road Conditions

The state has a duty to maintain safe road conditions. When they fail that duty, traffic accidents and bicycle accidents often result. If poor road conditions were a major factor in your traffic accident, then you may be able to sue the government. It will, however, take an experienced auto accident lawyer to handle this claim. Claims against City Hall are a little different from claims against private citizens and companies.

Construction Accidents

Construction companies must comply with the same duty of care that private citizens have. When they breach that duty, they can be held liable under negligence laws. If you suffered injuries due to a careless construction worker, contact the personal injury attorneys at Fielding Law Group.

Slip and Fall Accidents

A property owner or manager has a duty of care to ensure that their premises are kept safe. If they allow a potentially dangerous condition to remain on their property then you are entitled to sue for any injuries you sustain.

“I got in a car accident as a passenger and at the time I was a full-time student with a part-time job, so I had a lot on my plate prior to the accident. My attorneys, particularly Shane, at Fielding took care of everything so that all I needed to do was focus on healing and staying on top of my school work. Everyone who worked on my case was professional and kind. The only way I could have been happier is if I didn’t get in a car accident in the first place.”
