Question 1

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Seattle?

Accepted Answer

I work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. My fee is a percentage of your settlement—typically 33-40%—and you only pay if we win your case. This makes quality legal representation accessible to all Seattle residents regardless of their financial situation.

Question 2

What should I do after a car accident in Seattle?

Accepted Answer

First, ensure everyone's safety and call 911. Document the scene with photos, exchange information with other drivers, and get contact details from witnesses. Seek medical attention within 24-72 hours even if you feel fine—some injuries take time to manifest. Then contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with insurance companies.

Question 3

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Seattle?

Accepted Answer

In Washington State, you generally have three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, claims against government entities (like King County Metro) require filing within 60 days. Don't wait—evidence fades and witnesses forget over time.

Question 4

Can I handle my Seattle injury case without a lawyer?

Accepted Answer

While you can represent yourself, studies show that injured people who hire attorneys receive 3-3.5 times more compensation on average—even after attorney fees. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize payouts. Having an experienced advocate levels the playing field.

Question 5

What types of cases do you handle in Seattle?

Accepted Answer

I handle car accidents, motorcycle crashes, maritime/Jones Act injuries, first responder injuries, slip and falls, and wrongful death cases throughout Seattle and King County. Whether your injury occurred on I-5, at the Port of Seattle, or in a local business, I can help.
