Personal Injury Peter B. Maguddayao, Attorney at Law PLLC represents those injured in automobile accidents and assault cases. These cases involve both special and general damages. Special damages are determined by the total costs of the hospital bills, physical therapy or treatment, and medications, among other easily ascertainable costs. General damages include emotional damages such as pain & suffering. In these types of cases, Peter will advocate strongly for his clients. Automobile Accidents - Most car insurance companies want to settle cases as quickly as possible for as little as possible if you are injured in a car accident. Peter will help you receive the medical care and treatment that you deserve. He will also help you recover special and general damages for pain and suffering, and will work tirelessly against the insurance companies to ensure that you get the most for your award or settlement. Assault & Battery Cases - If you are a victim of an assault, just like his car accident cases, Peter will help you recover special and general damages for pain and suffering. If you cannot afford to pay for your medical expenses as a result of the assault, you may be able to have the Washington State Crime Victims Compensation fund help you pay for most or even all of the medical expenses. However, Washington state law does require you to repay the cost if you do receive a settlement. In all cases, Peter will work to ensure that you get the most for your award or settlement settlement.
