Seattle Personal Injury Attorneys
Personal Attention From Real Lawyers
At Emerald Law Group, we believe that when you hire a law firm for your injury claim, you expect that you are hiring an experienced personal injury attorney to work on your case, not a horde of paralegals, case managers and legal assistants with no professional legal training or education. Our firm was founded by veteran Seattle lawyers who wanted to distinguish their practice from the “mill” model of law firms that work on volume and turn over cases as fast as they can. Here, you’ll meet personally with the attorneys who will work on your case, and you’ll find them to be highly involved with the day-to-day aspects of the case and not just coming in at the very beginning or very end of the case. We put in the hard work at all stages to successfully resolve your case with the best result that meets your needs.
Comprehensive Seattle Personal Injury Law Practice
Whether you have suffered a catastrophic injury or lost a loved one because of another’s negligence or wrongful conduct, count on Emerald Law Group to approach your case with knowledge, skill, sensitivity and compassion. Our lawyers are experienced in a wide range of injury matters and will be by your side every step of the way toward a settlement or judgment that you will be happy with. Call on Emerald Law Group for help with any of the following types of injuries or accidents in the greater Seattle area:
Premises Liability
We represent trip and fall and slip and fall victims injured in grocery stores, bars and restaurants, shopping malls, hotels and nightclubs, retail and department stores, big box stores, city sidewalks, government buildings, public transit, apartment buildings and rental homes, and more. When property owners fail to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition, from cleaning up spills to fixing defective stairs and building conditions or installing adequate lighting, building owners can and should be held responsible for fall injuries or assaults that occur on their dangerously unsafe premises. We also work to hold pet owners liable for dog bites and animal attacks that occur on their property or while out in public.
Custodial Care Injuries
We don’t ever expect to get injured by the negligence of others, but when we take special steps to place our most cherished and vulnerable loved ones under the care of institutions established for the very purpose of keeping them safe, then we have a special sense of outrage when they let us down. Our injury attorneys have particular experience and expertise in holding institutions accountable for their inexcusable failures in this area. Our Seattle personal injury attorneys are here for you when you or your loved one was harmed by any of the following:
- Nursing home injury, neglect or abuse
- Child day care injury
- School or playground injury
- Childhood sex abuse
- Clergy abuse
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Emerald Law Group takes on negligent drivers and their insurance companies for accidents caused by drinking and driving, distracted driving, speeding, and other negligent or reckless misconduct. Our firm handles car, truck and motorcycle accidents in Seattle, as well as motor vehicle collisions with pedestrians and bicycles. Navigating an auto accident claim under Washington’s choice/no-fault insurance laws can be confusing; we’ll guide you toward a successful resolution that fully compensates you for the damage done.
Other Personal Injury
Our comprehensive Seattle personal injury practice includes construction accidents, defective product injuries, medical malpractice, insurance bad faith, police brutality, and more. If you’ve been hurt because some other party failed in the duty of care they owed to you, we want to hear from you, and we want to help.
