We handle rear-end collisions, failure-to-yield cases, and disputes over fault, ensuring clients receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our contingency fee model ensures no upfront costs.
Slip and Fall
Our firm pursues slip-and-fall claims against businesses and property owners who neglect safety standards. We handle cases involving hazardous conditions like wet floors and inadequate lighting, often contested by insurers. By gathering evidence such as incident reports and witness statements, we prove liability and secure compensation for medical expenses and long-term injuries resulting from falls.
Insurance Bad Faith
We challenge insurance companies that deny or undervalue legitimate claims. Our services include reviewing policy details, negotiating in good faith, and litigating bad faith practices. We educate clients on their rights when insurers delay payments, refuse coverage, or offer settlements below fair value, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve under Washington law.
Pedestrian Accidents
We advocate for pedestrians struck by vehicles, often facing severe injuries and biased insurance investigations. Our team counters claims blaming victims for attire or perceived negligence, proving liability through accident reconstruction and witness testimony. We secure compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lifestyle changes caused by life-altering injuries.

What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, avoid giving statements to insurers, and contact an attorney before signing any documents.

We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay no fees unless we secure compensation. Fees are deducted from the settlement, ensuring access to legal representation without upfront costs.
Can I file a claim if the accident involved an emergency vehicle?
Yes, though emergency drivers have privileges, they must still exercise reasonable care. We investigate whether negligence contributed to your injuries and pursue compensation accordingly.
What if the insurance company blames me for the accident?
Fault may be shared, but we challenge unfair liability claims by analyzing evidence, witness statements, and police reports to protect your right to compensation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?
Washington's statute of limitations is generally three years for personal injury claims, but exceptions apply. Contact us promptly to preserve evidence and meet critical deadlines.
What types of compensation can I recover?
You may receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and future care needs, depending on the severity and circumstances of your case.
