What Steps Should I Take After a Serious Injury in Tacoma?
An unexpected injury can leave victims in pain and unsure of where to turn, but knowing which steps to take is critical to recovering compensation for medical bills, treatment costs, lost earnings, and other losses. Here are some essential steps to take after a wrongful injury:
- Seek medical attention: Your health and well-being should be your top priority after an accident. It’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you lack obvious injuries. This can help rule out serious harm like traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or internal bleeding while also establishing proper documentation of your injuries.
- Document evidence: If possible, take photos of the accident scene and any visible injuries. Gathering contact information from any witnesses who saw the accident occur can also serve as invaluable evidence in your claim.
- Report the accident: In some cases, it may be necessary to file a police report, such as after a motor vehicle accident. Reporting the accident to the appropriate authorities is vital to establishing a formal record of the incident and may also be useful for insurance purposes.
- Seek legal counsel: Securing experienced representation from a qualified personal injury attorney is imperative to navigate your claim effectively and achieve a fair settlement.

Can I Recover Damages for Emotional Distress in a Tacoma Personal Injury Case?
Yes. In some cases, plaintiffs may be eligible to recover damages for emotional distress after a wrongful injury. Emotional distress refers to the psychological impact of an injury, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. This falls under the umbrella of non-economic damages, which refer to indirect subjective losses incurred in the accident.
Other examples of non-economic damages include scarring and disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium. On the other hand, economic damages refer to direct financial losses, including medical expenses, current and future treatment costs, lost earnings, and loss of earning capacity.
In rare cases, the court may also award punitive damages in cases involving extreme malice or recklessness. Unlike other damages, punitive damages are awarded to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future, as opposed to compensating the victim directly.
