Help from Personal Injury Lawyers at Witt Law Group – Serving Kitsap & Thurston Counties
If you’ve been in an accident—whether it’s a car crash in Olympia or a slip and fall in Port Orchard—your next steps matter more than you think. The insurance company has already started building its case. Shouldn’t you?
Here are 5 things you need to know right away that could impact your settlement (and how we can help protect your rights):
1. Don’t Wait to Get Medical Treatment
Delaying treatment sends the wrong message to insurers: “It must not have been that bad.”
Get checked out immediately, follow through with your care, and document everything. This builds a paper trail that can make a huge difference in settlement value.
2. Don’t Talk to the Insurance Adjuster Alone
That “friendly” call from the other driver’s insurance? They’re trained to minimize your case.
Hire a lawyer first! We’ve seen countless clients lose thousands in value by accidentally saying the wrong thing. Let us handle it.
3. Save Everything (Yes, Everything)
Photos. Doctor notes. Repair bills. Pain journal. Missed workdays.
Even minor details can become major leverage later. Our team will organize your evidence and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
4. Know the Clock Is Ticking
In Washington, you generally have 3 years to file a personal injury claim—but that doesn’t mean you can wait.
Some claims have shorter deadlines, and evidence disappears quickly. And, some claims require a certain period of notice before you allowed to file the lawsuit. If you go beyond the time, you might be barred from ever bringing a claim!
The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case will be.
5. A Local Lawyer = A Bigger Advantage
