The causes of personal injury are innumerable. However, some are more common than others. If you have been affected by any of the following types of incidents, the personal injury lawyers at our Tacoma, Bellevue, and Seattle area firm can review your case and possibly recover damages:

Auto Accidents

This includes car, bus, railroad, airplane, boating, and motorcycle accidents that cause personal injury. The person or group responsible for the accident can be held accountable, and you may be entitled to compensation. Learn more about car accidents.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can result in lifelong, often fatal injuries. Motorcycle operators are given the same legal protections as automobile drivers, and have the ability to seek compensation if an accident was caused by another person or group's negligence. Learn more about motorcycle accidents.

Trucking Accidents

Thousands of people are injured or killed every year in trucking accidents. The seemingly endless stream of large commercial vehicles on the nation's roadways increase the odds of tragic accidents, and the physical, emotional, and financial aftershocks of these events can be devastating.

Auto Accidents Caused by Defective Design or Products

Faults in the design or equipment of a vehicle, and/or marketing that doesn't warn consumers of possible risk, may constitute negligence if an accident occurs. Everyone involved in the creation and marketing of an automobile has a responsibility to ensure that safety standards are met and consumers are adequately warned of any danger. Learn more about auto accidents and product liability.

Medical Malpractice

Negligence on the part of health care providers can not only make a previous medical condition worse, it can also result in fatal injuries or illness. Misdiagnosis, incorrect medication, and surgical mistakes are just some instances of medical malpractice which have been successfully litigated.
