Personal Injury Lawyer

Washington follows a fault-based system for car accidents, meaning the at-fault driver is responsible for damages. Our attorneys investigate collisions, deal with insurance companies, and pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from car, truck, and bus accidents.

Washington requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance, but these minimums are often insufficient to cover serious injuries. We pursue claims against at-fault drivers' insurance policies and, when necessary, explore additional sources of recovery including underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage, commercial vehicle policies, and employer liability.

Our team handles every aspect of your claim, from preserving evidence at the accident scene to negotiating with adjusters to preparing your case for trial. We understand the tactics insurance companies use to minimize payouts, and we counter them with thorough preparation and aggressive advocacy.

Motorcycle and bicycle riders are especially vulnerable to serious injury in collisions with motor vehicles. We represent riders injured by negligent drivers, pursuing claims for catastrophic injuries, road rash, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and wrongful death.

Bias against motorcyclists is a real concern in these cases. Insurance adjusters and jurors sometimes unfairly assume that riders are reckless or at fault. We combat this bias with thorough evidence gathering, accident reconstruction, and expert testimony that demonstrates the other driver's negligence.

Washington's comparative fault rules mean that even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover damages — your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. We work to minimize any fault attributed to you and maximize the compensation you receive for your injuries.

When healthcare providers in Washington fail to meet the standard of care, we hold them accountable. Our team handles surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and hospital negligence cases with the help of qualified medical experts.

Washington medical malpractice cases require a certificate of merit from a qualified medical expert before a lawsuit can be filed. This means we must consult with experts early in the process to confirm that malpractice occurred. We have established relationships with medical professionals across multiple specialties who help us evaluate and prove these complex cases.

Medical malpractice claims in Washington are subject to a three-year statute of limitations (with a one-year discovery rule for cases where the injury was not immediately apparent). Acting quickly is essential to preserve evidence and meet these deadlines. Contact us promptly if you suspect medical negligence.

Under Washington's wrongful death statute (RCW 4.20), surviving family members — including spouses, domestic partners, children, and certain dependents — can seek compensation for loss of income, companionship, consortium, and other damages. We help families navigate these difficult claims while pursuing justice and financial security.

Washington also allows a separate survival action on behalf of the deceased person's estate, which can recover damages for pain and suffering the decedent experienced before death, as well as medical expenses and lost wages. We evaluate both types of claims to maximize the total recovery for your family.

Wrongful death cases require careful investigation, expert testimony, and strategic litigation. We handle every aspect of these cases with the sensitivity and dedication your family deserves, allowing you to focus on grieving while we fight for accountability and fair compensation.

Property owners in Washington have a duty to maintain safe premises and warn visitors of known hazards. We represent individuals injured in slip-and-fall accidents, inadequate security incidents, dog bites, swimming pool accidents, and other dangerous property conditions.

Washington premises liability law distinguishes between invitees, licensees, and trespassers, with property owners owing the highest duty of care to invitees (customers, guests). We investigate the property conditions, maintenance records, prior incident reports, and building code compliance to establish that the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition.

These cases often involve significant medical expenses and long-term rehabilitation needs. We work with your medical providers to document the full extent of your injuries and with economic experts to calculate current and future damages, ensuring that your claim reflects the true cost of your injuries.

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win. This means access to top-quality legal representation regardless of your financial situation. Our process includes thorough investigation, expert consultation, aggressive negotiation with insurance companies, and trial-ready preparation for every case.

From your first consultation, we begin building your case. We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and photographic evidence. We consult with medical experts, accident reconstructionists, and economists to establish the full extent of your injuries and calculate your total damages.

Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize your compensation. We level the playing field with skilled negotiation backed by thorough preparation. When insurance companies refuse to offer fair settlements, we are prepared to take your case to trial. Our reputation for going to court when necessary gives us leverage in every negotiation.
