It was a tough case. I wasn't easy to deal with. Scott was able to get nearly all the insurance policy, and saw this through until the impossible happened. Somehow he got a bank to give me an account. Still scratching my head as to how he did that, but let's not look gift horses in the mouth. His service was above and beyond what is required. He even got my antibiotics when I was still to sore to move. He got my 2000 dollars for a bicycle I paid 250 for and it was only worth 750 new. There were a couple parts having experienced I would have not been so head strong about. I might not rank so high if I had a client feedback... Lol, I was a pain. Scott is talented, mature, complete and stable.

William H.P. Fuld did a great job on my case. He told me from the beginning it was going to be tuff. He was always honest & upfront about the situation. I appreciated that. Even though it was a long drawn out case (not on his behalf), he was still available to speak to me whenever I needed to & got back to me right away if he was busy. He has a very competent team with him. I highly recommend William H.P. Fuld.

Great lawyer! He has represented me on a few occasions. Hard working and knows his stuff. He is always straight forward and communicative through out the entire ordeal. He does not brush you off or talk down, as other lawyers sometimes do. He seems to have a good rapport with judges and prosecutors no matter what area.

Steve took on my personal injury case and was successful in getting me, what I feel was, a fair settlement. I also believe he went the extra mile in working with our insurance company and medical providers. Steve made it clear that the most important aspect of my case was my personal health and welfare, everything else was secondary.

I’m writing to highly endorse attorney Steve Knapp for you or your loved ones who may be seriously injured or killed by the acts of another person. Steve spent 3 ½ years helping me through a very stressful and difficult process of settling my serious and permanent injury claims with the State Department of Transportation and its contractor after I crashed my motorcycle in a construction zone one night on I-5. I’m very lucky that Steve got involved in my case early on. Steve immediately began gathering evidence to support my claim that the onramp had been left in a negligent condition which caused me to crash that night. Steve kept telling me that the facts of my case were like “spokes in a wheel” and his goal was to build me a wheel full of spokes, which he did do. The State and its contractor denied any responsibility to me for more than three years after my accident. They claimed the accident was entirely my fault or someone else’s fault other than theirs. But Steve was relentless and left no stone unturned in working up my case. He went to the DOT archives and found great records for my case; he investigated the accident scene; and he located and met with several witnesses and got written statements from them in support of my case. I was able to sit in on a few depositions of witnesses, and watching Steve was great. He was very prepared for each one, and he seemed to almost know what each witness would say, even before they said it. He was able to use the witnesses testimony to build lots of spokes in my wheel. Steve used to do defense work and he knows how the defense looks at a case, which I think gives him an edge because he can anticipate where the defense witnesses will attack his clients’ cases and he can prepare for it. Steve had me fully prepared for my own deposition by the defense attorney and for my examination by the defense doctor. Steve finally overwhelmed the DOT and its contractor with evidence that their negligence caused my accident, and we were ultimately able to reach a settlement of very high six figures. Steve is a down to earth kind of guy who is very easy to talk to. He kept in regular contact with me so I always knew what was going on with my case. I’m extremely happy with the work Steve did for me on my case and I give him my highest recommendation to anyone who has been seriously hurt or even killed by someone else’s negligence. J.

I would of never dreamed what had started out as a business relationship would develop into another “OHANA” (Family) for us. You all are wonderful people and an UNBELIEVABLE LAW FIRM!!! Jeff and Mercedes, without your deft skills, warm style, experienced perspective and your “NO BULLSHIT” attitude; Lorinda and I couldn’t have made it through the most difficult fight of my life and our relationship. You both are “rare gems” that we are very fortunate you were on our side! To Everyone; “Mahalo Nui Loa” (Thank you very much) for recognizing our feelings and needs every time I called or we came into your office. I definitely realize at times it wasn’t very easy for all of you. You all handled it with extreme grace! We both enjoyed the stories you shared with us, your constant reassurance and hard work. It has been truly a blessing to work with all of you! “Aloha nui loa” (Fondest regards) and “Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hau’oli Makahiki Hou” (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year)!

I was in a bicycle accident in Seattle. The road had a sand patch in the bike path. The city and the construction company tried to wear us down by dragging things out but Pino stuck with me through thick and thin. We ended up getting a better settlement than I expected. Everyone at the office was friendly, efficient and low key. I feel that I could not have had better representation.

When I was involved in a motor vehicle accident, Pellegrino was incredibly helpful getting a resolution with an opposing insurance company. Because I did not have insurance on my small motor scooter, the other driver's insurance company tried to claim I was responsible for the accident. Pino agreed with my take on it, and fought hard to get them to take responsibility. Through negotiations, he was able to get exactly what I wanted, my vehicle to be repaired and my missed work compensated. I couldn't have asked for more and would definitely recommend his services to anyone involved in a similar incident.

I am profoundly grateful for the outstanding support and exceptional legal expertise I received from Sears Injury Law in the wake of a life-changing injury. Their dedicated legal staff transformed a difficult chapter in my life into a story of resilience and triumph. Following my injury, the weight of medical bills and the emotional strain of pain and suffering seemed insurmountable. It was evident that I needed expert legal guidance, and that's when I entrusted my case to Sears Injury Law. From our very first encounter, it was abundantly clear that Sears Injury Law is not just a law firm; they are a team of compassionate and dedicated professionals who genuinely care about their clients' well-being. Their legal staff took the time to fully comprehend the extent of my injuries and the profound impact they had on my life, both physically and emotionally. What truly distinguishes Sears Injury Law is the unwavering commitment of their legal staff to their clients' best interests. They left no detail overlooked in their meticulous review of my case, ensuring that every medical expense, no matter how small, was thoroughly documented. Their dedication to maximizing my recovery was evident in every interaction. Moreover, the legal staff at Sears Injury Law fought tirelessly to not only address my medical payments but also to acknowledge the pain and suffering I endured. They were fierce advocates for justice, tirelessly working to secure a settlement that not only covered my medical costs but also recognized the emotional toll my injury had taken on my life. Throughout the entire process, the legal staff at Sears Injury Law provided not just legal expertise but also unwavering emotional support. They kept me informed, patiently answered my questions, and offered the reassurance and guidance I desperately needed during this challenging time. If you ever find yourself faced with injuries, mounting medical expenses, and the burden of pain and suffering, I wholeheartedly recommend Sears Injury Law. Their legal staff is not only exceptionally skilled but also remarkably compassionate. They are your staunch allies who will go above and beyond to secure the compensation and justice you deserve. Thank you, Sears Injury Law, and to your incredible legal staff, for your outstanding work and for being my unwavering support throughout this journey!

I was referred to John's firm by a relative who works in the legal field for a somewhat complex personal injury case against the government and had the great fortune of developing a relationship with John after having interviewed with a couple of other attorneys. He was patient and caring and always receptive to our input and feedback. He worked very hard to make sure my wife and I were fully informed regarding all aspects of the law and the multiple procedures and actions this case would require. He worked closely with us to achieve a very favorable outcome and never pressured us to make a decision or accept an offer to settle, it was always very clearly up to us how to proceed and we always felt well informed. John is very personable and friendly, it was obvious that he genuinely cares about his clients beyond the matters of the case and not only advocated for my rights and fair compensation, he also made sure that I was receiving appropriate and complete medical care and treatment. I have proudly referred John to friends and family and have since asked him to represent me in a moderate vehicle accident claim as well. I am glad to have been John's client and my wife and I are happy we selected him to be our attorney. Highest regards, sincerest gratitude.

After getting my DUI and navigating the uncharted waters of endless attorneys I found Christopher. After speaking with him the first time I knew I was going to hire him and told him shortly after that same day. He's genuine, down to earth and charged a very fair price. What can I say?...he went to bat for me. He continuously pushed for the results we were focused on with the City of Seattle prosecutor. We got the results we wanted and I can't be more thankful. Christopher kept me in the loop on what to expect and what had or hadn't transpired. He was transparent throughout the process and let me know what I could do to be ahead of the game and proactive. It was my first DUI w/ a refusal greater than +.15 BAC. I had 2 prior alcohol related offenses on my record and we were able to get it reduced down to a DUI no test. Originally the prosecutor wanted 2yrs ignition interlock, 2 days in jail plus 30 days electronic home monitoring and 5 years bench probation. However, Chris was able to get it down to 1 year ignition interlock, 30 days electronic home monitoring and no probation. He was honest enough to tell me as well that I had a refund coming my way per our contractual agreement. Something that I didn't even know. Hire him should you have the opportunity.

We received the highest level of legal representation that an attorney and law firm can provide. Steve Fury's work was outstanding. His written work was complete, accurate, and thoroughly researched. At his court appearances, he demonstrated an ability to think quickly on his feet and used his extensive legal knowledge to back him. This attorney's work was well thought out and executed in a manner comparable to a professional chess match. Not only did Mr. Fury help us receive justice, he also provided care to his client, my husband, in the form of recommended counseling and guidance. Our case is over now; however, I look back and believe we were blessed to have this attorney represent us. He was a God send. He held the defendants accountable for their actions and sought justice for his client. He defended my husband's credibility and honor, and for that, and for the highly successful results of the case; we thank him and his firm from the bottom of our hearts.

He was great - he helped me out with some contracts in 2010, which have been the basis for every single contract I use today when hiring freelancers - he was professional and efficient and knew the legal language really well, as well as what to watch out for with the various freelance jobs that I was requesting. Mr. Kwong created a strong foundation for protecting my business.

Ms. Herrmann is exactly what others clients have said about her. She covers all of the possible problems that might come up in the settlement process, and explains the thinking of insurance companies. I have a good idea now, of what to expect, and what kind of expectations to have. It takes a unique mind to be able to have such a comprehensive understanding of her profession, and she has it. I am confident that I will be well represented.

Going through a personal injury is extremely stressful and I was very concerned about having excellent representation. My anxiety was alleviated when I met Brian after a vicious dog attack.

They took care of everything and really let me focus on healing and managing my life instead of panicking about how to handle this new situation.

I greatly appreciate all that Bruce Lambrecht has done to grant me justice in my case. I believe professionals like him that take the time to take on cases such as mine; where the road to restitution is skewed and does not promise outstanding investment return, are the reason society is able to heal and prosper even with overwhelming political and institutional corruption. Not many people such as Bruce could understand how matters such as this could derail someone's attention, energy, and success. Since Bruce's help I have been able to pull my grades up in Arizona State University as well as become affiliated with two on campus human rights organizations. I will also be graduating with my Bachelor's degree this May and feel that my struggles would have been ridiculous and further post-poned as they were being, if it had not been for Bruce. Not only was he attentive, thorough, and constantly working on my case, but even when I had felt overwhelmed and detached from the case he ensured full communication and promise to strive for everything I deserved. I will always be grateful and have thanked him numerous times for his relentless efforts.

I was injured at work on my neck and had a fusion on my c5-c6 spine which left me with a lot of stress, questions and uncertainty. I contacted The Walthew Law Firm where I met with Patrick C. Cook and his paralegal Marilyn Mc Doo at their office, they were very prompt and professional during the consultation, I can say that the atmosphere and the way they greeted me made me feel like a very important client, and they took consideration for any conditions I had at the time. I then received representation from The Walthew Law Firm and have been pleased with my overall experience with them. Patrick Cook handled everything else, including the legal issues, doctor’s bills. The paralegal Marilyn Mc doo assigned to my case was amazing, she handled all my issues with L&I. On behalf of Patrick Cook, she responded promptly to my phone calls and emails and gave me solid advice on what to do next as my case was moving forward. I was so please on my decision to seek legal counsel, I frankly don’t know how I would have done it without The Walthew Law Firm. I would recommend 100% the firm, and if you do hire them as your lawyers, try to make sure Patrick C. Cook is your legal lawyer. Once again, thank you very much Patrick for been there for me.

I didn't just pick Bob out of the Yellow pages, he was recommended to me by the attorney that prepared our will. I then had by sister-in-law who is also an attorney (practicing law in Maryland) review his web-site. She said he sounded knowledgeable and showed experience in personal injury cases, something I was definitely going to need. My case began with a Sunday morning walk in a quite neighbor just north of Manson in Lake Chelan, Wa. My brother and his wife along with my wife and I were walking along a public road when a large dog approached. His demeanor was not friendly, he was aggressive showing his teeth and lunging at us. With numerous calls to control his dog the approaching owner did nothing. When the dog's attention turn towards my wife, I collected a couple of large rocks and proceeded to through them at the dog. In doing so, I ripped the quad tendon in my right leg, causing extreme pain and injury. After surgery, I was off work for 3 months then an additional 6 months of physical therapy. I know, some might think "you threw the rock - it was your own fault". This was not my view nor was It Bob's. Bob represented me and with his knowledge and expertise we settled with the insurance company for a fair and equitable amount. If you are in need of a personal injury attorney to protect your rights and to represent you in a court of law, Bob would be my first choice.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You

A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.

If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.

When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:

  • Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
  • Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
  • Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
  • Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
  • Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
  • Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?

A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
  • Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  • Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
  • Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
  • Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
  • Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.

How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?

Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
  • Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.

Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
  • Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.

Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer

Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with car accident cases?
    Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. What kind of compensation can I expect?
    Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  • Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
  • Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
  • Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
  • Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
  • Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
  • Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
  • Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
  • Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
  • List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
