Seattle Personal Injury Attorneys Brett Murphy

WE HELP PEOPLE REBUILD THEIR LIVES AFTER A PERSONAL INJURY.

The Seattle personal injury attorneys at Brett Murphy – Washington’s Injury Lawyers help people throughout the Seattle metropolitan area recover their financial losses. Our lawyers provide our clients with care and support through the difficult insurance claims process. We will accept nothing less than full compensation.

Specifically, we help victims across the Seattle region who are injured through no fault of their own recover money damages from the insurance company of the at-fault party — including the cost of medical care to date, future medical expenses, lost income to date, lost future earning capacity, and general damages for pain, suffering, disfigurement, and disability.

We give focused attention to the needs of each client. We coordinate all parts of the personal injury case and support each client through all elements of their physical, psychological and financial recovery. With a wrongful death situation, we coordinate all case aspects to achieve justice and ensure that our clients’ financial needs are met.

Brett Murphy’s experienced lawyers have managed insurance claims in the Seattle area for nearly forty years. We know what information insurance companies need to honor an injury or wrongful death claim — and what roadblocks they throw in the way of payment.

We successfully resolve most personal injury and wrongful death claims through negotiation, because insurance companies know our determination to try cases when a settlement offer is inadequate.

Specifically, here are the ways we help our clients deal with an insurance claim.

WE COLLECT YOUR PROPERTY DAMAGE:

We communicate with the insurance adjuster, repair shops, and auto-towing companies to collect estimates, photos, and other information to document and calculate property damage, arriving at a dollar amount that will pay you fully for your property loss.

WE HELP GET YOU THE BEST POSSIBLE MEDICAL CARE:

We communicate extensively with doctors and medical facilities, and we work with your insurance company to gather medical records and bills, to track and document your medical costs, and to make sure your medical bills are paid, so that you can obtain the best possible medical care. We help you find the best specialists throughout the Seattle metropolitan area to treat your injuries.

WE HELP GET MEDICAL BILLS PAID:

Our attorneys have the experience to properly navigate the complex layers of insurance coverage to track your medical bills, coordinate the reimbursement of out-of-pocket medical expenses, and optimize settlements to ensure that your current and future costs are fully covered. We communicate with doctors and collection agencies to resolve problems related to overdue accounts. We work with your medical providers to ensure that your medical treatment is not interrupted due to exhaustion of your medical benefits.

WE OBTAIN MONEY FOR FUTURE MEDICAL BILLS:

Brett Murphy’s attorneys work closely with medical providers to obtain an estimate of all future medical costs, to determine what you will face down the road. We use our deep knowledge of legal standards to meet insurance company requirements to access funds from all applicable insurance policies, so that your medical expenses will be fully covered.

WE COLLECT YOUR LOST WAGES:

We determine your earning history, and we coordinate with your employer and doctors to document how your injury affects your short and long-term ability to work. We enlist the help of economic and rehabilitation experts who are knowledgeable of the Seattle economy and wage scales, to quantify lost earnings. We compile this information to present to insurance companies during the settlement or litigation process.

WE HELP YOU GET RE-TRAINED AND RE-EMPLOYED:

If your injuries prevent you from returning to your former employment, we collaborate with rehabilitation experts to determine your physical and mental abilities, and to identify opportunities to complete new training or enter a new field. We track the costs of training and any loss of income due to a change in employment, and we factor this information into the settlement or litigation process.

WE GET COMPENSATION FOR PAIN, SUFFERING, DISFIGUREMENT, AND DISABILITY:

We represent you in all interactions with insurance companies, making sure that you are viewed as a real person who has experienced physical, economic, and emotional damages resulting from the accident. In short, our lawyers make sure that you are not just a number on an insurance claim form. We document the true impact that your pain and injuries have had on your life. We gather photos, interviews, and declarations of witnesses to support you in gaining the largest settlement possible.

WE DO THE PAPERWORK:

We are highly experienced at managing the extraordinary amount of paperwork required to handle a successful claim. Our injury lawyers and staff oversee all document preparation, filings, mailing, and tracking. We coordinate the high volume of communications with insurance companies, doctors, medical facilities, other attorneys, courts, and witnesses to gather and deliver all required information and documents, and make sure that your case is handled in an effective, timely manner.

WE DEAL WITH THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER:

From the moment you become our client, our attorneys initiate a relationship with the claim adjusters from all involved insurance companies. We handle all day-to-day communications, managing the flow of information, documents, and related paperwork to complete your claim as quickly and efficiently as possible. Just as it is the insurance adjuster’s job to settle your claim for as little as possible, it is our job to settle your claim for the maximum you are entitled to under the law.

WE KNOW WHAT CLAIMS ARE WORTH:

We access various legal databases to determine claim values, taking into consideration all losses resulting from your accident and injuries. Our attorneys are known for putting the time into each case to identify all current and future losses, and we put forth all effort necessary to achieve the results you expect.

WE HANDLE THE NEGOTIATIONS:

We engage in aggressive negotiations with insurance adjusters to deliver the highest settlements possible. Our lawyers use their negotiation skills to secure agreements with adjusters to reduce the amount of money owed to insurance companies to repay them for their payment of your medical bills, thus maximizing your net recovery. We know the legal processes required to obtain further settlements from insurance companies in the situation where the at-fault person has inadequate coverage.

WE GET RESULTS:

Our track record speaks for itself. Brett Murphy’s lawyers have attained record results in Seattle and across Washington State, both in negotiated settlements and trials. We are reliable, effective, and determined to provide you with the resources to move forward with your life. We rebuild lives after an injury.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"I very much appreciated the efficiency and professionalism of Bill Coats as my attorney. He helped me out during a difficult time in my life and showed that he was compassionate, understanding of my situation, and truly cared about the outcome in my case. I could not imagine receiving the same level of service from many other lawyers. Bill far exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond what I would consider the typical attorney/client relationship. There is no question that I would recommend Bill to a family member, friend, or acquaintance in need of an excellent attorney that I know would be dedicated to his or her cause. " – Adrian
