Q. Injured by a company's negligence at home, seeking legal advice in Washington.

May 23, 2025

A: Thank you for sharing the details of your situation. We're very sorry to hear about the serious injuries you've suffered and understand the profound impact this has had on your life.

When an injury results from the actions or negligence of a company or its employees, you may have legal options available under Washington state law. It's important to take steps to preserve evidence, including medical documentation, photographs, and any correspondence related to the incident. While you've mentioned that you have not yet contacted the company, it may be advisable to consult with an attorney before doing so, as legal counsel can guide you through the process and help protect your interests.

Given the complexity and severity of your injuries, you may wish to explore whether the company's actions constituted negligence and what remedies might be available to you, which could include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

We recommend speaking directly with an attorney who can assess your case based on the specifics and advise you on the best course of action moving forward. ... Read More

Q. Seeking compensation after car accident; driver at fault, total loss of vehicle and injuries.

May 16, 2025

A: Thank you for sharing the details of the incident. We understand how stressful and overwhelming a situation like this can be, especially when it involves injuries to both yourself and your family members.

Based on the information you've provided, your inquiry involves complex legal and insurance issues, including potential liability of an at-fault driver acting within the scope of employment, personal injury, property damage, and insurance coverage concerns.

We recommend that you avoid communicating directly with any insurance companies until you have had the opportunity to consult with an attorney. Such communications can have legal consequences and may affect your ability to obtain full and fair compensation.

You may wish to begin compiling all relevant records, including the police report, witness information, medical documentation, insurance policies, and any repair or replacement costs. Keeping a detailed record of expenses and ongoing symptoms may also be important

We hope you and your family experience a full and timely recovery. ... Read More

Q. How to file a small claims petition for a three-party crash in Texas with denied insurance claim?

May 15, 2025

A: Thank you for sharing the details of your situation. While Small Claims Court in Texas can be a useful option for resolving minor disputes, it comes with significant limitations that may not serve your best interests — especially in cases involving serious damages or complex issues.

Texas small claims courts (typically Justice Courts) have a jurisdictional cap of $20,000, which includes damages and attorney’s fees. If your claim has the potential to exceed that amount — whether through medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, or punitive damages — filing in Small Claims Court may preclude you from recovering the full value of your losses.

Additionally, Small Claims Courts do not allow discovery or appeals on legal grounds, which limits your ability to fully present your case and respond to legal challenges. This can be particularly restrictive if the other party has legal representation or if the facts require a deeper investigation.

Because your case may involve a larger potential recovery and more complex legal issues, we strongly recommend pursuing it in District Court (Superior Court equivalent in Texas). This gives you access to the full range of legal remedies, including: full compensatory and, if applicable, punitive damages, pre-trial discovery to gather supporting evidence, representation by an attorney, the right to appeal, and jury trial (if desired).

Consulting with a legal professional can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and help ensure your rights are protected.

Wishing you a steady recovery and resolution. ... Read More
