You sustained injuries, or a member of your family did
You are yet to close with your insurance provider

We Understand Personal Injury Law

The law relating to personal injury is vast. It encompasses various situations in which a person suffers an injury due to the negligence of another party. Suppose you or any member of your family suffered personal injuries from the negligence of others. In that case, you need to partner with a Stanwood personal injury lawyer with a perfect understanding of personal injury law and the law of negligence.

The burden of proof lies on you, the plaintiff, and you must prove that the other party, the defendant, was indeed negligent. At Rico Tessandore, we will help you build a strong case that will place you in a good position to show that:

The defendant had the duty of being reasonably careful. For instance, if a personal injury results from a driver’s negligence, the law requires that any driver exercises the duty of reasonable care to a level that an average driver would do. Therefore, every driver owes the duty of care to all other road users, including individuals in other vehicles, their passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
The defendant did not exercise the duty of care to the required reasonable standard and was thereby in breach of care duty. Here, the law uses a reasonable person’s conduct as the parameter for determining whether the defendant exercised the duty of care to the required standards. The law will seek to determine if any reasonable driver would have done the same under similar circumstances.
The negligence or conduct of the defendant directly caused the injuries suffered by the plaintiff. For instance, if you suffer a dislocated joint after falling off a defective staircase, you must prove that your arm’s dislocation resulted from the defective staircase and not any other event.
You suffered direct losses or injuries. The plaintiff is entitled to compensation for any misfortunes sustained due to the defendant’s negligence, including property damage, injuries, monetary loss, pain, and suffering, among others.

Why Look for a Personal Injury Attorney?

For you to complete a successful claim, there are several processes you need to complete. Often, they are not procedures an average person can maneuver without professional assistance. They are usually complex tasks, and assuming a compensation claim will be an easy process has even been listed among the common mistakes that personal injury clients make.

It can feel tempting to file a claim on your own. But the process can be stressful, and you may be waiting a couple of months or more before you receive your compensation. Most victims may not know the appropriate amounts of payment, and insurance providers could take advantage of them.

Besides, some injuries can be traumatizing, and you do not want to move about following up for compensation before you are fully recovered.

At Rico Tessandore, we will help you approach the claim processes comfortably. Our personal injury lawyers know the laws well and are experienced in the field, and know the right step to take in every situation. They will help you assess the situation to see if you are eligible for a claim and compute the right amount of compensation.
