TACOMA WA CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER

Hurt in a Car Accident in Tacoma?

A car crash can turn your life upside down in seconds. One moment you’re driving down I-5 or through downtown Tacoma. The next, you’re faced with injuries, medical bills, and an insurance company that refuses to pay what’s fair.

At Morgan Hill PC, we advocate for individuals injured in car accidents across Tacoma and Pierce County. Whether you were rear-ended at a stoplight or struck by a distracted driver on Martin Way, we will fight to secure the compensation you deserve.

You focus on healing. We’ll handle the legal side.

Do You Need a Car Accident Lawyer?

Not every crash needs a lawyer, but if you suffered injuries, missed work, or are facing resistance from the insurance company, it’s wise to talk to an attorney.

We can help you:

  • Understand your legal rights
  • Deal with the insurance adjuster
  • Gather evidence and build your case
  • Calculate the full value of your losses
  • Negotiate or take the case to trial if needed

Speaking with us is risk-free. We only get paid if you win.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, Washington law lets you pursue compensation for:

  • Emergency and ongoing medical expenses
  • Lost wages and reduced earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

The more serious your injuries, the more crucial it is to have a skilled attorney fighting for you.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

We handle all kinds of crash scenarios, including:

  • Distracted driving (texting or eating behind the wheel)
  • Speeding and aggressive driving
  • Drunk or drug-impaired drivers
  • Failure to yield or obey traffic signals
  • Rear-end and T-bone collisions
  • Poor road conditions or visibility

In multi-vehicle accidents or cases involving shared blame, we’ll help you understand how comparative fault works in Washington.

Steps to Take After a Car Crash

  1. Get medical attention, even if injuries seem minor.
  2. Call the police and file a report.
  3. Take photos of the vehicles, injuries, and scene.
  4. Get witness contact info if available.
  5. Notify your insurance company, but don’t give a recorded statement.
  6. Talk to a lawyer before accepting any settlement.
