Personal Injury Specialties

Auto AccidentsTraumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Injuries caused by motor vehicles, most commonly involve autos, but include motorcycles, trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians. They are an unfortunate occurrence that can totally disrupt your life or that of a loved one in your family. Most common are auto collisions, and according to the Washington Department of Transportation, a person is injured in a car crash every 11 minutes.

 

The primary role of insurance carriers is not to serve your best interests, but those of their own policy holders. The pursuit of Personal injury claims involves timing considerations, and complicated and complex evaluations and negotiations, which need to be conducted by people experienced with these issues, to ensure that you receive the fair and full compensation you deserve. That process should start as soon as possible after the occurrence of an accident, to ensure that your rights, now and in the future, are preserved and maximized.

Our brains are the key to our ability to function as human beings and are the foundation of our lives. Injuries to the brain, i.e., Traumatic Brain Injury cases and litigation involving them are challenging and complex. They require experienced legal counsel.

 

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) victims can suffer a broad spectrum of injuries ranging from Concussion to impacts on the spinal cord and beyond. Injury impacts can involve emotional deficits such as depression, anxiety, and anger disorders; cognitive and behavioral impairment; loss of muscle coordination and balance limitations; physical disability, paralysis, and other life-disrupting experiences.

 

With issues of this level of severity, injury victims need to immediately retain experienced legal counsel, who know the medical aspects of the spectrum of conditions produced by a TBI; who are familiar with how to interact effectively with the medical specialists who provide treatment and care; and who are experienced and skilled with engaging and effectively working with experts who address issues such as causation in accord with state medical/legal requirements; vocational considerations, and your economic damages—past, present and future.

 

Ron Ward and his associates have extensive experience with Traumatic Brain Injury victims. We are aggressive and have had noteworthy success in obtaining multiple seven-figure and eight-figure monetary recoveries on behalf of our clients, in accidents involving autos, motorcycles and negligence regarding defective conditions on premises from structures to parking lots, to buildings.
