Personal Injury Overview

Puget Sound Traumatic Personal Injury Lawyers

At Bishop Law Offices, P.S., we help seriously injured clients so that we can devote all the attention to your case that it deserves. Our personal injury practice is devoted to obtaining justice for accident victims and returning to them the resources they've lost. We advocate for injured clients from throughout the Seattle-Tacoma area, in cases that involve

• Auto Accidents: Our clients need compensation to make up for lost wages, medical expenses, funeral expenses, loss of income to the family, property damage, future medical needs, and pain and suffering. We protect you from unrelenting insurance companies who refuse to pay, leaving you frustrated at best, or helpless at worst. Additionally, we assist clients in uninsured and underinsured motorist claims when the at-fault party has insufficient insurance.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists have every right to use the road, but they are more vulnerable to accidents and devastating injuries than people in passenger cars.
• Truck Accidents: Major truck accidents devastate, and sometimes take, lives. The trucking companies defend their drivers vigorously. We understand the rules and regulations governing truck drivers and all the potential parties that may have contributed to your trucking accident. We are skilled at handling sensitive matters surrounding a fatal truck accident or serious injury, such as a spinal cord injury or wrongful death.
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents: We help pedestrians and bicyclists who are struck by a car, truck, or other driver. Like motorcyclists, they are especially vulnerable to severe injuries.
• Construction Accidents: Those who work at great heights or with heavy machinery face the risk of serious injury every day on the job. Any deviation from the occupational safety rules can be catastrophic to the worker. We can help assess potential liability in these cases and hold wrongdoers liable.
• Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse: Discovering that the doctors and nurses in whom you placed your trust have neglected or abused your loved one is a dreadful shock. We pursue justice for neglect or abuse that leads to bed sores, broken hips, malnutrition, other injury, or death.
• Product Liability: Corporate profits shouldn't come before public safety. Whether it be manufacturers who cut corners, designers who don't test their products, or toy companies who know their product is dangerous but send it to market anyway, we have the skills, resources, and experience to ensure they don't profit from their carelessness.
• Accidents Involving Immigrants: Justice should be blind to your immigration status, when you've been injured and need help the most. At Bishop Law Offices, we fight to ensure our immigrant clients are treated fairly, just like anyone else, to the maximum extent of the law.
• Medical Malpractice: We hold doctors and other medical professionals accountable in all types of medical negligence claims, such as birth injury, surgical error, misdiagnosis of cancer or heart condition, failure to diagnose, and emergency room error.
• Premises Liability: We advocate for clients injured as a result of various premises accidents, such as claims involving slip and falls, inadequate security, deck and other structural collapse, dog bites, and other dangerous conditions.
• Workplace Accidents: We pursue all sources of compensation for those injured in the workplace, including compensation that may be available outside of workers' compensation.
• Dram Shop Liability: Intoxicated bar patrons often misjudge how much they've had to drink, or whether they can drive. Liquor establishments earn great profit taking advantage of that misjudgment. The law does not permit bars to profit at the expense of innocent victims of drunk-driving accidents.
• Bad Faith Insurance Litigation: The laws governing insurance companies change frequently, and every insurance policy is a little different from the others. We can assist you with insurance coverage issues. When an insurer acts in bad faith or wrongly denies coverage, we seek damages to the full extent of the law.
