Contact us today at (206) 467-0701 for more information about a possible case.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Soft tissue injuries are our primary focus and a common result of accidents, even in low-impact collisions. While insurance companies often dismiss these as “minor,” they can cause chronic pain and disability. Common soft tissue injuries include whiplash from rear-end car accidents, sprains and strains from slip and falls in retail stores or workplaces, and muscle tears from workplace incidents and sports activities.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

The National Center for Biotechnology Information reports that roughly half of TBI-related hospitalizations due to unintentional falls in the United States occurred among adults aged 75 and older. These injuries commonly occur in construction accidents, slip and falls on commercial properties, bicycle accidents, and motor vehicle collisions. Even minor head impacts can cause lasting cognitive problems, memory issues, and personality changes.

Spinal Cord and Back Injuries

Spinal cord and back injuries are a profound challenge, with vehicle accidents alone responsible for 38 percent of new cases each year. These life-altering injuries are a frequent outcome of truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, diving mishaps, and falls on construction sites. As your King County personal injury attorney, we partner with a trusted network of medical professionals to thoroughly document your injuries and calculate the full lifetime costs of care.

Fractures and Broken Bones

Fractures range from simple breaks that heal completely to complex injuries requiring multiple surgeries and causing permanent limitations. These injuries are commonly seen in pedestrian accidents, bicycle crashes, premises liability cases involving uneven surfaces, and workplace accidents involving heavy machinery or falls. Complications like non-union fractures or infections can turn straightforward injuries into lifelong problems.

Burn Injuries

The American Burn Association reports that approximately 450,000 people receive medical treatment for burn injuries each year. These injuries frequently occur in workplace accidents involving chemicals or hot equipment, defective product cases with malfunctioning appliances, and motor vehicle accidents with fires or explosions. Severe burns may require skin grafts, multiple surgeries, and psychological counseling.

We Go The Extra Mile For You

Trusted Experience. Real Support. Every Step.

We know just how difficult things can be after an accident – even things that once seemed simple. That’s why we are dedicated to
going the extra mile in personal injury cases. Whether that means setting up meetings on weekends or during evening hours or
meeting at a local coffee shop, the hospital or even your home, we are more than willing to do it. If you were in a motor vehicle
collision and your vehicle has not yet been repaired, we can help move that process along as well.
