There are many laws that aim to keep drivers in Tacoma safe. It is best to keep between two to three car lengths between you and the car in front of you while driving to make sure you are not too close to the vehicle ahead of you and you have ample room to stop should you need to. It is also advisable to allow even more room between cars if you are traveling at high rate of speed. The law requires a driver to signal for at least 100 feet before switching lanes or merging into another lane. Sudden and abrupt lane changes are among the most common reasons for car accidents. Far too often, cars fail to properly signal before turning and cars are often in each other’s blind spot when the accident occurs. Perhaps the most common car accident occurs when one driver rear-ends another, which results when the car is following too closely.
Adjusting to traffic, especially when it is sudden, is one of the biggest reasons for accidents. Car accidents often happen when a driver is going too slow or too fast, though it’s usually the latter. Controlling speed and adjusting lane position and signaling in a timely, effective way are the surest ways to avoid common accidents.

Boating is a common recreation activity for many people during the summertime and when it is warm out. People boat for many reasons: to explore the natural world, for sport, to fish, take a vacation and sightsee. Unfortunately, even in the world of boating, accidents sometimes happen.
After suffering serious injuries from a boating accident, you need an experienced and passionate attorney who can help you. A skilled Tacoma attorney from The Jackman Law Firm can help you recover the following:
You can certainly challenge the taking, but understand this is normally an uphill battle you will likely lose. Since eminent domain is widely accepted, it’s hard to win unless you can show that the government is not taking your property for a legitimate public use. If you refuse, the government will file an action in court and you will have to appear in court, if asked, and file the appropriate legal documents in opposition to those filed by the government. If you lose, and the judge allows the taking to go forward, then a new trial will be started that allows each to make the case for the land’s value.
Every lawyer is different, but The Jackman Law Firm charges a third of whatever money you recover from the government, provided that amount is greater than the original offer you received. We only get paid, in other words, unless you both win and your award is greater than what you would have received without help.
This is a procedure to attempt to settle your case. The special commissioner is made up of three landowners who have no interest or relationship to you or your case. A judge selects them. The commissioners will hear you and your attorney make your case for the value of your land, as well as the government’s side, and from there they will decide the value of your land.
You don’t have to accept the offer from the government. You can fight for more money, but be aware you are going to need certain experts to validate your position, including surveyors, appraisers, and real estate brokers. These experts can persuade the judge or jury the true value of your land.
Every case is unique and different. It can take anywhere from a few months to a few years. In general, cases where the government is involved take a long time, typically a year or so. If a private company is involved, the process will usually be much faster.
You have three years from the date of the accident.
Statistically, it is not likely since most cases settle out of court, but the best way to settle the case is to prepare as though you are going to trial.
It is important to understand whether your doctor can clearly separate which accident caused your injuries. The Jackman Law Firm can assist you in this.
