News and Updates:

February 3, 2025: The Maryland Child Victims Act (CVA), which took effect in 2023, eliminated the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits related to child sexual abuse.

Washington Personal Injury Settlements and Law

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Miller & Zois is a national personal injury law firm. Our law firm routinely handles severe personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits nationwide, including Washington. Our firm has helped injury victims in Washington get compensation in various types of cases across the state, including medical malpractice, birth injuries, sex abuse, major auto accidents, and everything else.

Calculating Settlement Amounts in Personal Injury Lawsuits in Washington

Settlement payouts for personal injury claims in Washington are largely driven by the strength of the plaintiff’s case and the likelihood of winning at trial. It all starts there. The ability to present compelling evidence that establishes the defendant’s liability and proves damages puts significant pressure on defendants. They are more likely to settle when faced with the risk of a high jury payout. The prospect of losing at trial and paying even more in compensation—including legal fees—motivates defendants to offer larger settlements when they believe the plaintiff will win at trial.
