Types of Cases We Handle

When you’ve suffered injury in an accident, you want Vancouver WA personal injury attorneys who have experience in the specific type of injury claim that you are facing. We can help you with any type of personal injury claim, including the following:

Car Accidents

Thousands of car accidents occur every day, often caused by distracted driving, drunk driving, poor road conditions, or driver error. No matter the cause of your accident, if someone else is to blame, you should not be held responsible for your losses. The personal injury attorneys at Mila Boyd Law Offices can walk you through the process of filling an insurance claim. We can also help you in obtaining the compensation you deserve.

After a car accident, you may be confused about what to do. If your injuries are serious, seek medical treatment as soon as possible. If you don’t need emergency medical treatment, you should remain at the scene and collect information from the other driver and surrounding environment. Take pictures and video, if possible. Then, seek follow up medical care whenever possible. Medical evidence will help support your claim. Call personal injury attorneys as soon as possible to start a car accident claim.

Truck Accidents

When large trucks cause accidents, the results are often devastating. Severe injuries, such as broken bones, poly trauma, as well as head and neck injuries are common. You should seek medical treatment as soon as possible to make sure can start the healing process. Then, call personal injury attorneys to make sure you protect your rights after a truck accident.

You may be unable to collect evidence after a truck accident, but the trucking insurance company will quickly be on the scene to eliminate evidence against their driver. Many trucking insurance companies have quick response teams that arrive before the police to the scene of an accident. They may try to move the wreckage and then collect evidence like the trucker log book and black box. Talk to your personal injury attorneys to combat the insurance company’s efforts to reduce their liability.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Ice, snow, water, and slippery surfaces often cause trips and falls that can result in serious injuries. Because of the force with which the victim falls, slip and fall injuries typically affect multiple parts of the body, or poly trauma. In many slip and fall cases, you may be able to prove negligence by showing that the property owner should have maintained a safer premises. Contact Vancouver WA personal injury attorneys to learn more about who may be liable in your case.

Premises Liability

The owner of a property has a duty to maintain their premises in a safe manner. If they do not, they may be negligent and cause a situation that results in injuries. That negligence can lead to legal liability. You may be able to obtain compensation from the person who is liable for your injuries.

Brain Injuries

Many accidents can result in traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Often, TBIs do not show up until days or weeks after an accident. However, they can result in significant need for medical care, and long term treatment that can be expensive. If your brain injury occurred due to someone else’s negligence, the personal injury attorneys at Mila Boyd Law Offices can help you.

Dog Bites

Dog owners or handlers should always be in control of their animals. If they are not and a dog bites cause serious injuries, you could hold the owner liable.

Experienced personal injury attorneys can help you determine who should pay for your medical bills, lost wages, and more after a dog bite.
