In the field of law, personal injury involves a greater range of conduct compared to many other practice areas. I've been handling personal injury cases for over 15 years now. When a new client comes into our office, typically it's several months out from some bad experience, a car accident and they're starting to feel like they are getting taken advantage of by the insurance companies, and they realize that maybe they need to talk to a lawyer.

I think that one of my greatest strengths is that I am a good story teller. It means that I help by working very closely with my clients in understanding what their problems are, what their experiences are, and making sure that we communicate that in the most effective way so that we can be persuasive with the insurance companies, with the jury and really just making sure that the client's message gets across.

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious personal injury as a result of a product that you believe was dangerously defective, you may have a claim under Washington's Product Liability law.
This can include defective automobile parts, children's toys, power tools, and a wide variety of consumer and commercial products that are capable of causing serious personal injuries.
Product liability claims are what are known as "strict liability" claims, meaning that you do not have to prove negligence in order to prove that the manufacturer (or in some cases, the seller) of the product is liable for your injuries and damages.
With the increasing awareness of the impact that internal combustion engines have on our environment, and the ongoing challenges associated with volume of traffic and congestion in the greater Seattle area, more and more people are turning to bicycles for their commute to and from work on a daily basis.
In addition to commuters, recreational bicycling is very popular here in the Pacific Northwest.
The result is an increasing number of bicyclists sharing the road with cars and trucks which, unfortunately, has resulted in more accidents and more injuries from collisions with motor vehicles.
Motor vehicle accidents involving passenger vehicles and large commercial trucks or vans can be devastating.
The sheer mass of the larger commercial truck or van often results in catastrophic injuries to the occupants of the passenger vehicle.
Whether it is a commercial van, an 18-wheeler, a tractor-trailer, a tanker truck, a flatbed truck, or a dump truck, the truck's greater weight and mass can total any car it hits and seriously injure the occupants.
If you have been seriously injured as a result of an 18-wheeler or tractor-trailer accident, or if you have lost a loved one as a result of such an accident, you should consult with an experienced Seattle personal injury lawyer who can help you through this challenging and emotional process.
If you are seriously injured in an accident involving a drunk driver, you will likely have a claim against the drunk driver and be able to recover damages from his/her insurance company.
If the drunk driver's insurance is insufficient to cover your injuries and damages or they do not have valid insurance at the time of the collision, you have the ability to make a claim with your own insurance company under your Underinsured or Uninsured Motorist Coverage.
The irresponsible driver who gets behind the wheel of a motor vehicle when intoxicated often has limited insurance coverage, or no insurance at all.
Property owners can be held responsible for ensuring safe environments and providing proper warnings about hidden hazards or unsafe conditions.
If you are injured while on the property of another person or company, you may have recourse and have the ability to seek compensation for your losses.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured and think you may have a premises liability claim, you should consider hiring an experience personal injury attorney who knows how to evaluate and handle a premises liability claim and protect your interest.
