Welcome the Seattle Personal Injury Blog, the official blog of the Law Offices of Gehrke & Wegener. Through this blog, we hope to tell you a little more about us, as well as to discuss the current issues in personal injury law.
If you or anyone you know has ever been injured in an accident, you know how complicated it can be to get compensated for your injuries and property loss. Deadlines and difficult decisions abound. If you try and file a lawsuit too early, you won’t be able to accurately know the extent of your injuries or your damages; wait too long, however, and your claim may be barred by the statute to limitations.
After filing a lawsuit, the road is even more perilous. The back log in the courts means it can take months before you even receive a court date. Civil litigation is also filled with firm deadlines, motions, depositions and hearings. All of these take time and money—lots of time and money. Even if you win at trial, the defendants can appeal the judgment, and you can be forced to continue to wait for years to get the money that you deserve.
Often, with the help of a skilled and aggressive personal injury attorney, you can obtain the money and relief you deserve without even filing a lawsuit. This allows you to recover more of your settlement, as you have fewer costs to pay, as well as getting you your money much quicker than having to go to trial.
If you’ve been involved in an accident and need representation, you need a personal injury firm that has decades of experience in navigating all the tough decisions and complications of civil litigation. You need a firm that is aggressive enough to obtain a good settlement quickly and painlessly, without the need for costly litigation, but one that is also unafraid to take the battle to the courts and obtain a favorable verdict when the time calls for it. Our saying at the Law Offices of Gehrke & Wegener is “Prepare for trial so that you never have to go.”
We hope you enjoy the advice and tidbits to come in this blog. We welcome your comments, and if you need information on a potential personal injury case, we encourage you to visit The Law Offices of Gehrke & Wegener to schedule a free consultation.
