Being involved in a car accident is one of the hardest things a person can go through. In addition to the inconvenience of being without a car and the headache of dealing with repair shops, people can be injured. Because automobile accidents are so common, it is surprising that many people are unaware of their rights. These include the right to be fully reimbursed for damages to vehicles, rental car expense, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

As an experienced Bellingham Auto & Truck Accident Attorney, I am superbly qualified to win justice and fair compensation for you. Additionally, my extensive knowledge of insurance companies and their practices allows me to maximize the available recovery for each client using all of the available insurance coverage available.

I handle many automobile accident cases each year. I regularly assist clients in procuring the proper medical care to help them get over an injury as quickly as possible. My Firm has access to accident reconstruction and investigative experts that are used when needed.

I am also, in many cases, able to use my contacts with area medical providers to expedite treatment and appointments for medical care. My first goal is always to get my clients back into the condition they were in before the accident.

As a skilled Bellingham Auto & Truck Accident Attorney, I provide effective representation to victims who have sustained serious injuries resulting from automobile accidents, other vehicle accidents, serious injury and defective products, including the following practice areas:

• Vehicle Accidents
  • Automobile accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Truck accidents
• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Spinal Cord Injury
• Wrongful Death
• Catastrophic Injuries
• Medical Malpractice
  • Pharmacist Malpractice
  • Anesthesia Negligence
  • Misdiagnosis
• Defective Products Liability
  • Pharmaceuticals
• Workplace Accidents and Occupational Injuries
• Complex Litigation
• Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

You will not need to pay a lawyer's fee up front in vehicle injury cases. If I take your case I will provide the resources to get copies of your medical documentation, hire expert witnesses, file your lawsuit and take depositions and other necessary steps in claiming money damages for your injuries. We earn our fee from the work we do in your case on a "contingency" basis, which means we deduct the litigation expenses and legal fees from the insurance company payment at the end of your case. If you do not win your case, you do not pay a fee.

My Firm does only trial, litigation and settlement work. I am an Eagle member of the Washington State Trial Lawyers Association, which is committed exclusively to helping people who have been wrongfully injured. I have eighteen years trial experience and my highly experienced staff have decades of litigation experience. We offer personal professional representation and promise we will be with you every step of the way throughout your case.

As a client you can expect to have extensive contact with an attorney. All client calls are returned within 24 hours and you can set up a face to face meeting with your attorney at any time including weekends. We are conveniently located one block from the Whatcom County Courthouse. We offer a free consultation which can be done during normal business hours or on evenings or weekends.

The vast majority of cases handled by my Firm are resolved without a trial -- saving clients both the money and the stress involved in courtroom proceedings. However, when a case must be tried due to unreasonable defendants, I stand ready with the experience and ability to give clients their day in court.
