Seattle/Tacoma Serious Injury Attorneys

Our law firm focuses on helping individuals and groups of people who have suffered extraordinary damages as a result of severe injuries or the abuse of power. Rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach in deciding who we choose to represent, our attorneys have obtained highly favorable results in discrete practice areas of the law.

Serious Injury

When someone is seriously injured or killed by the negligence of others, an attorney can ensure the best possible result and deal with the insurance companies so the family can concentrate on healing.

Sexual Abuse

The effects of childhood sexual abuse are often not felt until the child grows up. A lawsuit can bring closure and much needed financial support, even decades after the abuse.

Medical Negligence

When a doctor or hospital fails in their care, and injures you or a loved one, we can help obtain accountability and recover compensation for your injuries.

Class Action

Class action lawsuits are a tool to keep large organizations and businesses accountable when individual lawsuits are too small to litigate. We also use class actions as an instrument to effect social change.

Auto Accidents

Whether in a crosswalk or behind the wheel, we represent injured victims of auto accidents. We will fight for you and know how to deal with insurance companies to obtain justice.

Product Liability

When a product causes significant harm or property damage, you should recover damages from the company who produces it. We have the ability to take on product manufacturers in important cases.

Consumer Protection

When companies lie, cheat, and steal, consumers get harmed.  With strong consumer protection laws, we can fight back and keep these corporations honest.

Government Liability

We frequently take cases against State government agencies like DSHS, DOC, DNR, and local government agencies like school districts to hold them accountable for failing to protect their citizens.

Complex Litigation

We have the tools and resources to handle cases where the defendant is a complex entity, such as the federal government or a large corporation.

Potential Lawsuit Investigations

When we discover that a company has caused harm to consumers, or identify a medical product that is dangerous, we may post about a specific case.  We are trying to find people who have been affected by these problems and may be interested in starting a lawsuit.
