Accidents do happen, sometimes with disastrous consequences to personal health, family finances and career. Monetary compensation, though never a complete solution, is often necessary to pay for medical care, rehabilitation, lost earnings and to help restore a damaged life.

We give prompt attention to the needs of each client by coordinating insurance payments, organizing documentation and supporting each client through the sometimes difficult insurance claims process.

Because insurance companies know our determination to try cases when a settlement offer is inadequate, we resolve most personal injury claims through negotiation.

Since Bellingham is close to the US - Canadian Border, our practice emphasizes the representation of Canadian clients involved in Washington accidents.

We have a twenty-five year history of winning substantial settlements and verdicts for personal injury and death claims.
