PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS
When Should You Hire a Car Accident Lawyer in Washington?
Under Washington law, hiring a car accident attorney is critical if your crash results in bodily injury, disputed fault, or medical bills that exceed personal injury protection (PIP) limits. Insurance adjusters are heavily incentivized to undervalue your claim and push for a quick settlement before you know the full, long-term scope of your injuries.
Call an attorney immediately if you experience any of these red flags:
- The insurance company denies liability or blames you for the crash.
- The at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured.
- Your injuries require surgery, physical therapy, or time off work.
- The crash involved a commercial vehicle, semi-truck, or rideshare driver.
- You are offered a fast, lowball settlement before your medical treatment is finished.

THE JONES FIRM DIFFERENCE
Why Work With Dax Jones Over a High-Volume "Settlement Mill"?
After an accident, you are flooded with ads from massive law firms. What they don’t tell you is that your case will likely be handed off to a paralegal or a junior associate you will rarely speak to. The Jones Firm operates differently.
- 100% Direct Access: You get Dax Jones's personal cell phone number. No gatekeepers, no getting lost in the shuffle.
- Trial-Ready Preparation: We prepare every case as if it is going to court. When insurance companies know we won't back down, they pay out higher settlements.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions About Bellevue Car Accidents
How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?
At The Jones Firm, it costs you nothing upfront. We work on a strict contingency fee basis. This means we advance all costs to build your case, and we only get paid an agreed-upon percentage if we successfully win your settlement or trial verdict. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.
What should I do right after a crash in Bellevue?
First, call 911 to get an official police report. Take photos of all vehicles, the surrounding scene, and your visible injuries. Seek a medical evaluation within 48 hours, even if you feel fine, as adrenaline masks pain. Finally, never give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company without your attorney present.
What if the at-fault driver doesn't have insurance?
If the driver who hit you is uninsured, we can pursue a claim through your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) policy. This allows you to recover damages for medical bills and pain and suffering without your insurance rates going up, as the crash was not your fault.
Can I still get compensation if the car accident was partially my fault?
Yes. Washington is a “pure comparative fault” state. You can recover damages even if you share fault—whether you were 10%, 50%, or even 90% responsible. Your final payout is simply reduced by your percentage of blame. For example, if your total damages are $100,000 and you are determined to be 20% at fault, you still receive $80,000. Insurance adjusters frequently try to push unfair blame onto injured drivers to shrink settlements, which is why having Dax prove liability is critical.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Washington?
You have three years from the exact date of the crash to settle your claim or formally file a personal injury lawsuit in Washington. If you miss this deadline, the court will permanently dismiss your case and you will forfeit all compensation, no matter how severe your injuries are. Contacting Dax early ensures crucial evidence like traffic camera footage, black box data, and witness statements are secured before they disappear.
