Truck crashes and medical malpractice. Reads every chart in the file herself.
Injury lawyers · Puget Sound
The insurer already has a file on you. Now you have one too.
We build the file on your injury: the crash report, the scans, the bills, the shifts you missed. Then we put a number on it the insurer has to answer.
Sample matters
Short claims, and the case under each one
Every line here is something we'd say on the first call. Under it is a sample of the kind of case that taught us to say it.
The helmet camera saw the turn.
Motorcycle crash · Pacific Avenue, Tacoma
A driver turned left across a rider and said he never saw him. The rider's helmet camera showed the driver never stopped. Settled for $265,000.
Gross settlement, before fees and costs.
The second reading counts.
Medical malpractice · Seattle
An emergency room wrote off a spinal fracture as a strain. A radiologist's review of the same scans found it. Settled before trial for $310,000.
Gross settlement, before fees and costs.
Logs are evidence. Ask early.
Truck crash · I-5 near Fife
A box truck rear-ended a commuter in stopped traffic. The driver's logs didn't match his fuel receipts. Settled for $420,000.
Gross settlement, before fees and costs.
Insurance pays, not the neighbor.
Dog bite · Everett
A runner was bitten by a dog that slipped its yard on the Interurban Trail. The owner's homeowner's policy paid for the scar revision and lost shifts. Settled for $64,000.
Gross settlement, before fees and costs.
Sample matters written for this template. Past results don't guarantee a similar outcome; every case turns on its own facts.

Call the office that's closest, or write to all three
The first call is free, and you don't have to decide anything on it. Tell us what happened and we'll tell you what the file would need.
No fee unless we recover money for you. Case costs, like records and expert reviews, come out of the recovery; if there is no recovery, you owe neither.
