Bellingham Personal Injury Lawyer

Seven highway interchanges squeeze into eight miles of I-5 through Bellingham. That's a lot of merging traffic in a very short stretch of highway, and it shows up in the crash reports near Sunset Drive and Iowa Street every year.
‍
If you get hurt in Bellingham, you're likely staring down an aggressive insurance adjuster whose only job is to pay you less than the claim is worth, or even nothing at all if they can get away with it. Lehmbecker Law steps in right at that point. We build the record, calculate what the case is actually worth, and push until the insurer pays it.

Personal Injury Lawyers in Bellingham Backed by 40 Years of Washington Cases

Larry Lehmbecker opened this firm in 1986, and it has represented injured Washington residents in the decades since, including clients from Bellingham, Ferndale, and across Whatcom County. The practice covers car crashes, motorcycle and bicycle wrecks, pedestrian injuries, premises liability, dog bites, and wrongful death claims.
‍
Aggressive insurance companies move fast after an injury or accident report gets filed. Recorded statements, broad medical releases that request your entire medical history, and an early settlement offer that’s a fraction of what’s fair are all standard tactics meant to lock in a number before you know the true extent of your injuries. Our experienced personal injury lawyers in Bellingham get involved before those early moves cost you money you'll need later.
