You need someone louder than the insurance company.

A serious collision turns a routine commute into months of medical appointments and phone calls from adjusters whose only goal is to pay you less. We level that field.

Compensation You Can Recover

Four buckets of damages — every one matters.

Insurers love to negotiate against medical bills only. We build a complete picture so the demand reflects what was actually lost — economically and personally.

Medical bills

Past, current, and projected — including specialists, imaging, surgery, and rehabilitation.

Lost income

Wages missed during recovery plus diminished future earning capacity if injuries are permanent.

Pain & suffering

Non-economic damages for the human cost — chronic pain, anxiety, and loss of activities you used to enjoy.

Property damage

Vehicle repair or total-loss valuation, plus diminished value claims most adjusters will not volunteer.

Common Insurance Tactics

Their playbook — and how we counter it.

01
The Move

The friendly call within 48 hours

What's Really Happening

Adjusters are trained to extract a recorded statement before you have a diagnosis. Anything you say can be used to argue you weren't really hurt.

02
The Move

The 'sign here for treatment' authorization

What's Really Happening

Blanket medical authorizations let insurers comb your full history for any pre-existing condition they can blame your injuries on.

03
The Move

The early lowball check

What's Really Happening

A $5,000 check sent in the first week is designed to close your file before you understand the cost of a herniated disc or a TBI.

04
The Move

The independent medical exam

What's Really Happening

The doctor is paid by the insurer. Their job is to draft a report minimizing your injuries, not to treat you.

Seattle intersection

Case Spotlight

$2.4M

Catastrophic injury, contested liability, denied UIM claim — reversed.

Client was struck at an intersection by an underinsured driver. The carrier denied UIM coverage citing a policy exclusion buried in renewal paperwork. After eighteen months of discovery, expert reconstruction, and a trial date on the calendar, the insurer paid policy limits plus a separate bad-faith resolution.

Common Questions

What clients ask first.

How long do I have to file a claim in Washington?

+

Most personal injury claims must be filed within three years. Claims against governmental entities have much shorter notice deadlines — sometimes 60 days. Call us as soon as possible.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

+

Your own UM/UIM coverage may apply. These claims are technically against your own carrier, which means they often fight harder than third-party insurers.

Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance company?

+

No. Not before speaking with an attorney. We will handle all carrier communication for you.

What does it cost to hire your office?

+

Nothing up front. Auto and motorcycle cases are handled on a contingency fee — we are paid only if we recover money for you.
