Auto Accidents
Our auto accident attorneys investigate collision factors like vehicle damage, airbag deployment, and skid marks to determine injury severity. We document soft tissue injuries and traumatic brain injuries that may not appear on x-rays. The firm secures medical treatment documentation and negotiates with insurance companies to ensure fair compensation for long-term recovery needs.
Medical Malpractice
We handle complex medical malpractice cases involving surgical errors, misdiagnoses, and birth injuries. Our experience includes expanding legal doctrines in malpractice litigation and representing clients before Washington State Supreme Court. We work with medical experts to establish standard-of-care violations and secure compensation for ongoing medical expenses.
Personal Injuries
The firm represents clients with traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, and other severe injuries from accidents. We calculate current and future damages including lost wages, medical costs, and pain suffering. Our contingency fee model ensures access to legal representation regardless of clients' financial situations during recovery periods.
