Dog‑Bite Infection Resolved After Insurer Stonewalls

Our client’s hand bite became infected and required surgery. The dog owner’s insurer stalled, questioning liability. After filing suit and entering discovery, mediation produced a confidential settlement that covered all documented medical expenses, lost wages, and pain‑and‑suffering—without the stress of trial. Washington’s strict‑liability bite law (RCW 16.08.040) only works when the insurer believes trial is imminent. Early, decisive litigation stops delay tactics.

Motorcycle Rider Cut Off by Out‑of‑State Driver

A motorcyclist was thrown from his bike when an out‑of‑state driver merged into his lane. Cross‑state jurisdiction threatened to drag out the case. By reconstructing the crash and securing witness statements, our team negotiated a confidential settlement that paid for ongoing therapy, wage replacement, and full bike repairs—without ever filing a lawsuit. Defendants in another state count on distance and paperwork to wear you down. Our subpoena and negotiation experience keeps momentum—and leverage—squarely on your side.

Policy Limits Secured in Disputed Liability Intersection Crash

While stopped at a red light, our client was rear‑ended and knocked unconscious. The at‑fault driver falsely claimed our client caused the crash, and their insurer denied liability. Using an accident‑reconstruction expert, we proved rear impact and obtained policy‑limit payments from both the defendant’s carrier and our client’s own underinsured‑motorist policy. When you can’t testify for yourself, physical evidence can. Rapid evidence preservation—dash‑cam footage, black‑box data, skid‑mark analysis—neutralizes false narratives and maximizes compensation.
