I suffered a serious neck injury in a rear-end collision that was not my fault. My case was somewhat complicated by the fact that I had suffered a cervical spine fracture about 20 years prior. Although I tried to avoid surgery at all costs, my pain never went away, and I ended up needing a three-level cervical fusion. As a result of my injuries, I was unable to do many of the tasks required of me at work, and my employer was essentially forced to outsource my position. I faced the serious risk of being forced into an early retirement, and as I am the sole breadwinner for my household, that was a daunting possibility. Fortunately, Adam was able to work with my employer, my surgeon, the insurance company, and their lawyers to get me every last dollar of insurance benefits available, which was more money than I ever thought possible. If you have been seriously injured, you should not hesitate to give Adam a call. He is kind and considerate with his clients but knows how to force insurance companies to do the right thing.

Adam Engst is an excellent lawyer. He is professional and personable. He explained the process thoroughly. He was always happy to respond to any questions we had quickly. My husband and myself were involved in a serious rear end collision. We were both injured. My husband required neck surgery and will have continued pain and limited mobility of his neck. This affects our future financially as well. He has lost income by severally limiting his ability to work. Adam fought to get medical costs related to injury plus the maximum $ amount from the insurance company and succeeded! The settlement was in the 6 figures and will go towards our being able to live without fear of losing our home. And for future medical expenses. In my case because of my illnesses, I was unable to get medical treatment for my crash-related injuries, which would normally mean that my case was not very valuable. However, Adam was able to convince the insurance companies that my low medical bills did not reflect the severity of the injuries I suffered. As a result, Adam was able to get them to pay every last dollar of all the insurance policy limits available. We were so impressed and satisfied with Adams representation. I would without hesitation recommend Adam Engst to anyone who needed a great lawyer for an injury case.

I had a difficult case in that I was recovering from a laminectomy when a driver crashed into me. My wife suffered a fracture sternum, and I had injuries throughout my body, but it was sometimes difficult to differentiate from my prior conditions and what was caused by the crash. Adam contacted my primary care physician and got him to sign a declaration that made it clear how badly I was injured and then argued his way to an excellent settlement for me and my wife. Adam was very understanding and easy to communicate with. We are pleased with the results and would not hesitate to recommend Adam 's services to anyone.

Adam represented me for a car crash that caused me to need a 4-level cervical fusion surgery. My case was complicated by a second car crash, a number of falls that I suffered, and a history of chronic neck pain. The defense attorneys and insurance companies tried to claim the MVA had nothing to do with the need for surgery, Adam was AMAZING. Adam got my primary care physician, treating surgeon, AND a medical expert to sign declarations on my behalf confirming that, even though I had a complicated medical history, it was the crash that caused my need for surgery. When we were in mediation, he blew me away. I walked out of there thinking, if I were the other party, I would be terrified. LOL He was scary good. We won the claim and it was settled for more than I had ever hoped for in my wildest dreams. Adam always responded to my questions right away and explained everything in easy-to-understand language. He is also a really cool person. If any of my family or friends ever get in a car accident, I will give Adam the highest recommendation humanly possible.

I was involved in a collision where the at-fault auto driver turned left directly into my lane of travel while riding my motorcycle. My motorcycle was totaled and I sustained a left foot injury along with lots of discomfort and road rash! The at-fault drivers insurance company treated me very nicely in the beginning, but when it came time to settle the claim, I was appalled by their offer! It was at that time I decided to hire an attorney to get me what was fair and just for my accident. A quick online search of reviews for attorneys in the Bellingham area pointed me to Adam Angst. Upon his hiring, Adam assured me that he would get the insurance company to do what's right. After some investigating, he found that there were several liens against my case in an amount that exceeded the original offer by the at-fault drivers insurance company!! Had I settled at this time, I would have been responsible for those liens! Adam's hard work and determination lead to a settlement covering ALL liens and included a pain and suffering settlement that was OVER 4X's the original offer presented to me from the insurance company. The results Adam achieved in my case exceeded my expectations! I would not hesitate to hire him again and would highly recommend him to anyone injured by no fault of their own!

Adam represented me after I was chased and attacked by two pit bulls–a terrifying experience. While he was representing me, Adam was always available to answer my questions and give me advice on how to deal with my injuries, medical treatment, and medical bills. Adam and his firm were able to get me the dog owner’s insurance policy limits, which was an exceptional outcome—they could not have gotten a better result. I am very grateful to have been represented by a team that I could trust throughout such a lengthy process. I would highly recommend Adam without hesitation to anyone who has been attacked by a dog or who has suffered any other serious injury.

Even before my accident, I had substantial pain and limitations in my left shoulder. When I was rear-ended, my shoulder got much worse, but I made the mistake of telling the insurance company that I already needed shoulder surgery prior to the accident. Despite this, Adam worked with my medical providers, reviewed my medical records with them, and got them to agree that I was in fact NOT surgical prior to the accident--but I certainly was afterward. Even with my shoulder surgeon on board, we still faced an uphill battle due to my off-the-cuff recorded statement that I previously needed surgery. As a result, we had to file a lawsuit, go through discovery and depositions, and endure a lengthy and slow negotiation process. With my doctors on my side but my own statement working against us, both sides had a lot of risk if we were to proceed to trial. Accordingly, Adam was able to negotiate a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Adam represented me for almost 4 years, and during that time, took a job at his new law firm. I had the choice to remain with Adam’s old firm, but I decided to stick with Adam, and I’m so glad I did. If you need someone who can stand up to insurance companies for 4 years in a complex case, then give Adam a call and see if he will help you.

I suffered a devastating knee injury when I slipped and fell on ice in the Mount Baker School District Parking Lot. They say you can’t fight City Hall, but Adam sure did, and in a big way. Adam and his team investigated what happened and were able to convince the School District that they were liable for my injuries, even without having to fight it out in court. In the nearly three years that Adam represented me, I was impressed with the investigation he did, grateful that he dealt with the School District and their insurance people, and thrilled with the final result. I never would have been able to get a result like this without Adam, and I strongly recommend you give him a call if you have been injured to see if he will help you, too.

I was out for a beautiful day with my family when a driver pulled out in front of us and we smashed into the car. Upon impact I was ejected, thank god for seat belts, and my head slammed against the head rest. I developed pulsating tinnitus from my injury along with cervical and head problems. When I stepped into Adam’s office, I’ll never forget, he said let me handle hospital bills and insurance focus on getting better. That was such a relief to me. I followed his advice, it’s been a long road but successful. If I ever had questions Adam was quick to respond. He went beyond what I thought I would receive from the insurance companies. Upon receiving my final check and a great one at that, I’m able to move on with my life. If I could give Adam a 10 star I would

Adam and his team took on my case for a combined tibula/fibula fracture with complications. They worked hard and did an outstanding job with the insurance company to get a great resolution for me. They were caring and considerate with me and fought with health insurance companies to significantly reduce the reimbursement amount they were asking for which resulted in additional funds in my pocket! I would recommend him to anyone who asks.

Adam is worth his weight in gold! He represented me in a case where my own insurance company completely denied my claim. I contacted Adam, and he quickly realized that the insurance company had not performed a sufficient investigation before denying my claim. Adam told my insurance company that, because they had not conducted a sufficient investigation, he was going to sue them for bad-faith insurance practices. Not only did the insurance company promptly pay my claim, Adam got them to pay nearly double what I was hoping for. If you are being mistreated by an insurance company, you should give Adam a call.

Attorney Adam Engst, with Law Firm Brett McCandlis Brown and Conner; Bellingham, WA came very highly recommended by my Chiropractor. When I contacted Adam, he was very thorough and clear on what he would need to take my case. I was sure pointed in the right direction. Adam handled the insurance, doctors and anyone that needed to be notified. He took care of all my questions and concerns. Such a stressful time, Adam certainly assured that I could make it through this process. And I sure did. When the settlement came through, I was so blessed. What a wonderful day. I couldn't be more grateful for Adam and his team that got me more than i thought it would be. I certainly would recommend Adam to anyone that needed these services. God bless us one and all.
