Why You Need a Lawyer
Claiming compensation for an injury can be very difficult. Without the protection of a personal injury lawyer, you may be pressured by an insurance company into agreeing to a settlement that is not in your best interests. After an injury, you should be able to focus on your recovery rather than having to navigate the claims process. Our lawyers will liaise with the at-fault party’s insurance company and fight to negotiate an out-of-court settlement that adequately covers your losses. If that’s impossible, we go to court to fight for your interests.
We Offer Legal Support in Many Languages
Our firm offers legal representation in the following languages:

The Elements to Prove a Claim
We need to prove three essential facts to be successful with your personal injury compensation claim.
- You were owed a legal duty of care: We must show that the at-fault party was responsible for keeping you safe, such as the duty of care from medical staff to patients.
- The duty of care was breached: Negligent or reckless behavior resulted in the duty of care being breached, meaning that the at-fault party is liable.
- The breach of duty caused your injuries and other damages: Your injuries were caused as a direct result of the breach of duty, as supported by medical reports and other applicable evidence.
Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions
What if I was partly at fault?
In Washington, our “comparative fault” laws allow you to claim damages from an at-fault party even if you were partly at fault for the accident. For instance, if a judge awards you compensation of $400,000 but you are deemed 25 percent at fault for the accident, you will receive only $300,000 in compensation.
Should I accept what an insurance company offers?
Insurance companies generally make it difficult to get fair compensation unless you are prepared to negotiate aggressively with them. Their loss adjusters are looking to save the insurance company money, so they will often submit a low offer in the hope that you will settle early. Generally, it is best not to sign agreements until your personal injury lawyer has reviewed the offer.
If you allow our lawyers to handle communications with the insurance company, we will ensure you maximize your claim. We are familiar with the strategies used by insurance companies and will push for a settlement that is truly in your best interests.
