According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, in 2014 a crash occurred in Washington every 5 minutes. With vehicles on Washington roads travelling over 58 billion miles, it is no wonder collisions are so prevalent. What is more, inattention/distracted driving was the most frequent contributing circumstance among all collisions. In King County alone, over 38,000 collisions occurred, while nearly 12,000 collisions occurred in Pierce County.
If you have been injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation. There certainly are instances where retaining an attorney may not make sense. For example, in a car accident that involves only minor property damage or where one’s injuries are very slight, retaining counsel may not be the best option. However, as consultations with our personal injury lawyers are free, it would be prudent to determine whether attorney representation may benefit an accident victim. If our attorneys are not confident that retaining counsel will benefit your case, we will tell you.Vehicle repair, medical bills, wage loss, diminishment of value, insurance paperwork and forms are just a few of the challenges that claimants face when injured in a car accident. It can be very stressful and an immense burden to deal with these issues while also coping with the painful effects of an injury that an accident victim did not cause. Having a lawyer to guide you through these challenges will allow you to focus on the overarching goal of accident victims; a full and healthy recovery.
It is common for insurance companies to make settlement offers to accident victims before the full nature and extent of their injury is known. What most accident victims don’t realize is that injuries caused by a car accident can be permanent and progressive. Moreover, if you settle your case you are prohibited from re-opening the claim again, even if your injury worsens or you require more medical care to treat your injuries.
As most car accidents victims have little knowledge regarding insurance claims, case value and case presentation, there is an imbalance of knowledge and power when insurance companies deal with unrepresented accident victims. Having a lawyer on your side to present the full and fair value of the claim helps to ensure the accident victim receives fair compensation for their injuries, pain and suffering.
Meeting your attorney is extremely important before deciding whether to pursue representation. An attorney client relationship involves trust, an open line of communication, and a strong understanding and belief that the attorney you have retained will be acting in your best interests to do the very best they can for you.

Enumclaw is rural town in King County, Washington with a population of approximately 11,000. Highway 410 is a state route and highway that bisects the city. Most of Enumclaw, including the downtown area is north of 410. However, 410 is an integral artery of travel for most residents of Enumclaw. From Enumclaw, Highway 410 takes skiers and snowboarders to Crystal Mountain.
Beyond Crystal Mountain, Highway 410 leads to Chinook Pass and ultimately Eastern Washington. Travelling westbound from Enumclaw, Highway 410 passes over the White River to Buckley, Bonney Lake, Sumner, and ultimately leads to Highway 167. The busiest part of Highway 410 is along the Sumner Valley, which in 2008 recorded a daily average of 59,000 motorists.
Due to the increased speed limit on Highway 410 in Enumclaw, collisions that occur on Highway 410 tend to be more serious than those that occur on other city or rural roads in Enumclaw. In fact, many of the clients I have represented have been involved in serious accidents in Enumclaw. Most of those clients found it important to contact an Enumclaw accident lawyer. For those clients, it was important to contact an attorney with small town values and small town roots, yet who could stand up and fight for them in the courtrooms of the big cities.
I am from Enumclaw, born and raised. I graduated from Enumclaw High School. I know the area well and have experienced the hard-working nature of Enumclaw residents and the strong sense of community.

Currently, the city of Bonney Lake lacks a downtown in the traditional sense, as most everything is located right on Highway 410. However, I am encouraged by the city plan that envisions creating a more traditional downtown area in Bonney Lake. The area is anticipated to include a City Hall, various city buildings mixed with retail and business properties. The designated area abuts the current Bonney Lake Justice Center. I believe this would be a wonderful addition to our growing city. It would keep Bonney Lake modern and contemporary while adding the charm of a traditional downtown area.
