Pasco Personal Injury Lawyer

A crash on I-182, a truck collision on US-395, or a dog attack in your own neighborhood can upend your life in a moment. Medical bills arrive fast, work gets harder or stops altogether, and an insurance adjuster starts calling before you know how badly you are hurt. Telaré Law helps injured people in Pasco and across Franklin County handle all of it, from the first call to the final settlement check.

When you hire Telaré Law as your Pasco personal injury lawyer, we take over the insurance calls, gather the evidence, and build your claim while you focus on getting better. Your consultation is free, and you pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you.

Serving Pasco From Our Kennewick Office

Our closest office to Pasco is on South Auburn Street in Kennewick, about 10 to 15 minutes from downtown Pasco across the Blue Bridge on US-395. Every visit is scheduled in advance so that an attorney is there when you arrive. If your injuries make the drive difficult, we can meet you at home or at the hospital instead. For directions, parking and hours, visit our Kennewick personal injury law office.

Burbank and Finley

We also represent clients in the communities just outside Pasco. Burbank sits across the Snake River in Walla Walla County, and Finley lies south of Kennewick in Benton County. A crash in either community may belong in a different county court than a Pasco case, and we determine the right venue for you.

Injury Cases We Handle in Pasco

We represent people hurt by someone else’s carelessness on Pasco roads, sidewalks and rivers, including:

Car accident claims in Washington: rear-end, intersection and highway crashes on I-182, US-395 and Road 68.
Truck accident claims in Washington: collisions with semis, delivery trucks and farm vehicles on US-395 and US-12.
Motorcycle accident claims in Washington: riders hit by drivers who failed to look or yield.
Bicycle accident claims in Washington: cyclists struck on city streets and along the riverfront trails.

Wrongful death claims in Washington: families who lost someone to another person’s negligence.

Many Pasco drivers start looking for a Pasco car accident lawyer after the at-fault driver’s insurer makes a quick, low offer. Truck crashes call for even faster action. The evidence a Pasco truck accident lawyer needs, such as driver logs, electronic logging data and maintenance records, can be lost if no one requests it early.

No Recovery, No Fee

Telaré Law handles injury cases on a contingency fee basis. There is nothing to pay upfront, and you owe no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. Your fee agreement is in writing, so you know the terms before we begin.

A Real Team at Every Step

Every client is assigned a pod of three people: a Case Manager who handles your claim before any lawsuit is filed, a Paralegal who supports your case once it moves into litigation, and an attorney who leads your case from start to finish. Every call, text and update comes from a live person on your team, never from AI. We also commit to minimum contact: your Case Manager reaches out at least every 10 days, your Paralegal at least every 20 days during litigation, and your attorney at least every 30 days. You will not have to chase us for an update.

Washington Law That Applies to Your Pasco Claim

Three years to file. In most Washington injury cases, the statute of limitations is three years from the date of the injury (RCW 4.16.080).
Shared fault does not end your case. Under Washington’s pure comparative fault rule (RCW 4.22.005), your compensation is reduced by your share of fault instead of being barred.
Government claims have extra steps. If a city, county or state vehicle or road was involved, a formal claim usually has to be filed with the agency first, followed by a 60-day waiting period before a lawsuit can begin.
PIP can help right away. Washington auto insurers must offer personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, which pays medical bills and some lost wages regardless of fault unless you rejected it in writing.

Pasco Roads, Hospitals and Courts We Know

Pasco’s busiest crash corridors include I-182, which links Pasco and Richland; US-395, which crosses the Columbia River to Kennewick on the Blue Bridge; US-12, which runs east toward Burbank and Walla Walla; and SR-397 toward Finley. Heavy agricultural and freight traffic on these routes makes truck and farm-vehicle crashes a real risk.

We request the records your case needs from the agencies and providers that serve Pasco:

Police reports: the Pasco Police Department for crashes in the city, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office for county roads, and the Washington State Patrol for highway collisions.
Medical records: Lourdes Medical Center in Pasco, Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland, and Trios Health in Kennewick.
Courts: Pasco injury lawsuits are generally filed in Franklin County Superior Court at the Franklin County Courthouse on North 4th Avenue. Burbank cases typically go to Walla Walla County Superior Court, Finley cases to Benton County Superior Court, and federal cases to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington.

Compensation After a Pasco Injury

Depending on the facts, your claim may include:

Medical bills, including future treatment, therapy and rehabilitation
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain, suffering, emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life
Vehicle repair or replacement and other property damage
Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

Washington does not cap non-economic damages in most injury cases. Every case is different, and we will give you an honest view of what yours may be worth.

How a Pasco Injury Case Works

Many people searching for lawyers in Pasco WA are not sure whether their case is serious enough to need one. Here is what the process looks like with Telaré Law:

Free consultation. You tell us what happened, and we explain your options with no obligation.
Investigation. We collect police reports, photos, witness statements and any available video before it disappears.
Treatment and documentation. You focus on recovery while your team tracks medical records and bills.
Demand and negotiation. Once your treatment is complete or your future care can be projected, we present a full demand to the insurer.
Lawsuit if needed. Most cases settle, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial and file suit when an insurer refuses to be fair.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a personal injury lawyer charge in Pasco?

Telaré Law works on contingency, so the fee is a percentage of the money recovered and there is nothing to pay upfront. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The exact percentage is set out in a written agreement that we review with you before any work begins.

Is it worth hiring a lawyer after an accident in Pasco?

For a minor property-damage claim, you may not need one. For injuries that require ongoing treatment, cause missed work or involve disputed fault, an attorney can protect the evidence and push back on low offers. Our consultation is free, and we will tell you honestly if we think you can handle the claim on your own.

What should I avoid saying after a crash?

Avoid apologizing at the scene, guessing about your injuries, or giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before you talk with an attorney. Adjusters can use a comment like “I’m fine” to argue that your injuries are not serious. Stick to the facts with police, get medical care, and let your legal team handle insurer calls.

Which injuries are hardest to prove?

Soft tissue injuries, concussions and chronic pain are often the hardest to prove because they may not show up on an X-ray. Insurers also challenge injuries when there is a gap in treatment. Consistent medical care and detailed records are the best way to document these injuries.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Washington?

In most cases, Washington gives you three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Claims against a government agency have additional steps, including a 60-day waiting period after a formal claim is filed. Evidence fades well before those deadlines, so it is best to call early.
