NW Injury Law Center

Vancouver Office

Our Vancouver Office

Our Vancouver office is located at 514 W 9th St in downtown Vancouver, minutes from I-5, I-205, and SR-14, and close to the Mill Plain Boulevard and Fourth Plain Boulevard corridors. If a crash sends you to the hospital, you will likely be treated at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center or Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center, both a short drive from our office.

Every consultation with our Vancouver personal injury lawyers is free, and you owe us no fee unless we recover compensation for you.

Please call to make an appointment. After hours and weekend appointments are available upon request. If unable to travel we can schedule a personal meeting at your location.

Most of the claims we handle from this office begin with a collision. See our Vancouver car accident attorney page for how those claims work.

We also take boating accident claims from the Columbia and the lakes around Clark County.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Clark County

Our Vancouver personal injury lawyers represent people hurt in a wide range of accidents throughout Clark County. Common case types include:

Car and truck accidents: From rear-end collisions on Mill Plain Boulevard to commercial truck crashes on I-5, we handle the full range of motor vehicle claims. Our Vancouver truck accident lawyer handles cases involving semis and delivery vehicles.

Motorcycle accidents: Motorcyclists face a higher risk of serious injury in a crash. Our Vancouver motorcycle accident attorney represents riders hurt by negligent drivers.

Wrongful death: When a Clark County family loses a loved one in a preventable accident, we help pursue accountability and compensation on their behalf.

Premises liability and dog bites: Property owners have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. Our premises liability attorney page covers unsafe conditions, negligent security, and dog bite claims.

Workplace injuries: If you were hurt on the job by someone other than your employer, such as a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer, you may have a personal injury claim in addition to any workers’ compensation benefits.

Where Serious Accidents Happen in Vancouver

Certain roads and intersections in Vancouver see a disproportionate share of serious crashes. We regularly handle cases arising from collisions on I-5, I-205, and SR-14, as well as the busy commercial corridors along Mill Plain Boulevard and Fourth Plain Boulevard, where heavy traffic, frequent turns, and pedestrian activity combine to create risk.

When a case cannot be resolved with the insurance company, we are prepared to file suit and litigate in Clark County Superior Court on behalf of our clients.

Washington Law You Should Know

Filing deadline: Washington’s statute of limitations generally gives you three years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit under RCW 4.16.080. Waiting too long can often bar your claim entirely.

Comparative fault: Washington generally follows a pure comparative negligence rule under RCW 4.22.005. Being partly at fault usually just reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault, but it does not bar you from recovering, even if you were mostly responsible.

PIP and UIM coverage: Washington insurers must offer Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage by default, which can pay medical bills and some lost wages while your claim is pending, regardless of fault. Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your own policy can help when the at-fault party’s insurance is not enough.

This is general information, not legal advice. Every case is different, and the best way to understand how these rules apply to your situation is to talk with one of our Vancouver personal injury lawyers.

Questions & Answers

Vancouver Personal Injury Lawyer FAQs

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Vancouver, WA?
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and owe us no fee unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is always free.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Washington?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident under RCW 4.16.080. Some situations can shorten or extend that deadline, so it is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
What if I was partly at fault for my accident?
You can still usually recover compensation. Washington’s pure comparative negligence rule reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault rather than barring your claim outright, even if you were more than half responsible.
Do you handle cases outside of Vancouver?
Yes. In addition to Vancouver, we regularly represent clients throughout Clark County, including Hazel Dell, Salmon Creek, Battle Ground, Camas, Washougal, and Ridgefield, along with the greater Portland metro area.
What should I bring to my free consultation?
Bring any police reports, photos from the scene, medical records or bills, and insurance correspondence you have so far. If you do not have everything yet, that is okay. We can help you gather what is missing.
Do I have to go to court for my personal injury case?
Most personal injury claims settle with the insurance company without going to trial. If a fair settlement is not possible, we are prepared to file suit and litigate in Clark County Superior Court on your behalf.
