Deep Local Insight into Seattle’s Construction Landscape
Seattle is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Pacific Northwest, with a booming construction industry. This rapid growth brings added risks for workers. We’re deeply familiar with Seattle’s local building codes, construction trends, and safety enforcement patterns by agencies like OSHA and the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I). This gives us a strategic advantage when building your case against liable parties.
A Tailored, Client-First Legal Strategy
We recognize that no two construction injury cases are alike. Whether you’re recovering from a spinal cord injury, managing long-term medical bills, or mourning the loss of a loved one, we provide legal strategies that are customized to your personal and financial needs. You’ll get direct access to your attorney, compassionate guidance, and clear, actionable advice at every step.
Relentless Advocacy Against Insurance Companies and Liable Parties
Many injured construction workers face powerful opposition from insurance companies, employers, and negligent third parties. We won’t let them take advantage of you. Our legal team aggressively pursues compensation from all responsible parties, including property owners, general contractors, equipment manufacturers, and subcontractors. If a fair settlement isn’t possible, we’ll go to trial to fight for your rights.

FAQs
Do I need a lawyer if I’m already filing for workers’ compensation?
Yes. A lawyer ensures you receive full benefits and identifies any opportunities for a third-party personal injury claim.
Can I sue my employer for a construction injury?
In most cases, no—Washington’s workers’ compensation laws prevent suing your employer. However, you can file a third-party claim against negligent subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners.
How much will a construction accident attorney cost me?
We operate on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case.
What if I’m undocumented? Do I still have rights?
Absolutely. Your immigration status does not affect your right to file a workers’ compensation claim or personal injury lawsuit in Washington.
