Distracted Driving Accident

Everyone has seen a driver talking on the phone while waiting for a light to change. Many of us know people who text while they drive. Some of us have driven while eating a sandwich or drinking a cup of coffee. The common thread among all these types of driver distractions is that drivers who aren’t fully focused on traffic can and do cause numerous accidents – some deadly.

Drunk Driving Accident

There’s no excuse for anyone ever driving while impaired due to alcohol or drugs. Anyone who drinks alcohol should be held accountable. Anyone who uses any type of controlled substance (or even legal drugs known to affect a person’s ability to drive) should be held accountable. Along with driver distraction, drunk driving is a leading cause of fatal car and truck accidents in Washington.

As the weather warms, many local residents use all types of boats and watercraft to enjoy the Columbia River and the other local waterways. The enjoyment of basking in the sun, catching some trout, enjoying the scenery, water-skiing, or just floating around does come with some risks. Boat operators need to understand how to operate their boats.

Speeding Accident

Drivers are required to know the speed limits for all the roads they drive on – from rural roads and parking lots to state roads and interstate highways. Drivers who exceed the speed limit are much more likely to cause car accidents, pedestrian accidents, and bicycle accidents than drivers who obey the speed limit.

Wrongful Death

There’s nothing more traumatic than a call from a police officer, a relative, or a friend saying your loved one died. When someone else’s negligence is the cause of that death, that person or entity must be held accountable. There’s no amount of money that can ever replace the life of a loved one, but it can ensure that your family is safe in the future and prevent other families from suffering the same grief.

Your Personal Injury Claim Process Timeline

Filing a personal injury claim can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with painful injuries, mounting medical bills, and the stress of lost income. You deserve to focus on healing, not on navigating a complicated legal system alone.

At Telaré Law, our Washington and Oregon personal injury attorneys handle every detail of your case so you can concentrate on your recovery. We’ve guided more than 5,000 clients through this process and recovered over $100 million in compensation along the way.

Although no two injury cases are exactly alike, the personal injury claim process in Washington and Oregon generally follows these steps:

  • Seek immediate medical attention. Your health comes first. Even if you feel fine after an accident, some injuries — including traumatic brain injuries and internal bleeding — may not show symptoms right away. Prompt medical records also create essential documentation that insurance adjusters and courts rely on when evaluating your claim.
  • Speak with a personal injury attorney. Before accepting any settlement offer or giving a recorded statement to an insurance company, consult with an experienced injury lawyer. Telaré Law offers free initial consultations at our Kennewick, Richland, and Bend offices — or we’ll come to you if your injuries prevent travel.
  • Investigation and evidence gathering. Once you retain our firm, our legal team immediately launches a thorough investigation. We work with accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and forensic specialists to build a clear, fact-driven picture of what happened, who is responsible, and the full extent of your injuries and losses.
  • Filing your insurance claim. Before negotiations can begin, all responsible parties and their insurers must be formally notified. If you were hurt in a car accident, for example, we file claims with the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier and coordinate with your own policy’s personal injury protection (PIP) coverage under Washington law.
  • Demand letter and negotiation. When the evidence supports a strong case, your attorney will send a detailed demand to the at-fault party’s insurer or legal counsel. Many personal injury claims in Washington resolve at this stage through skilled negotiation — without the need for a lawsuit. Our team fights for every dollar you’re owed.
  • Filing a lawsuit if necessary. If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we file a lawsuit in Washington or Oregon court. It’s critical to act within the statute of limitations — three years from the date of injury in Washington, two years in Oregon. Telaré Law’s attorneys are trial-ready and have argued cases up to the Supreme Court of the United States.
  • Discovery and case preparation. Discovery is the formal process where both sides exchange evidence, take depositions, and identify witnesses. This phase can last several months to a year. Our legal team uses this period to strengthen your case, consult with expert witnesses, and prepare detailed documentation of your damages.
  • Mediation, settlement, or trial. After discovery, many cases settle through mediation — a structured negotiation guided by a neutral third party. If a fair resolution still cannot be reached, your case proceeds to trial. Unlike firms that avoid the courtroom, Telaré Law was built for trial. Our attorneys have the experience, preparation, and determination to present your case before a judge or jury and fight for the outcome you deserve.

Why Telaré Law?

OVER $100 MILLION RECOVERED

Since 2007, our attorneys have secured more than $100 million in verdicts and settlements for over 5,000 clients across Washington and Oregon — including individual results of $2.2M, $1.2M, and $900K.
