Kirkland Personal Injury Attorney

A Kirkland Personal Injury Law Firm with 40 Years of Washington Cases
Larry Lehmbecker founded this firm in 1986 and has practiced injury law in Washington ever since. The team takes cases across the Eastside and statewide, including crashes on I-405, falls at Kirkland businesses and restaurants, dog attacks in residential neighborhoods off Lake Washington, and construction injuries near the waterfront.
When the at-fault party has an insurance carrier working the claim on their behalf, an unrepresented claimant faces a real disadvantage. Kirkland personal injury attorneys at Lehmbecker Law know how insurers evaluate claims and build the file with that in mind, from medical documentation through demand and, when the case calls for it, through trial.

FAQ
What happens if I sign something with the insurance company right after the accident?
What you signed matters. A recorded statement carries a different legal weight than a release of all claims. If you signed a full and final release, the claim may be closed. If you gave a statement or signed a medical authorization, there may still be a path forward. Our Kirkland personal injury attorneys can review the document and explain what it means for the case going forward.
The at-fault driver lives outside Washington. Does that change how the case works?
Not necessarily. If the accident happened in Washington, Washington law typically governs the claim. The at-fault party's insurance company will still respond to a demand, and if a lawsuit becomes necessary, it can generally be filed in Washington. An out-of-state defendant does not eliminate the ability to bring a claim here.
What if the injury happened at a private home rather than a business?
In Washington, property owners must exercise reasonable care toward visitors at private residences. Under premises liability laws, owners are responsible for hazards they knew about or should have addressed. If a hazard causes injury, homeowners' insurance often covers resulting claims.
Several parties may have contributed to my accident. How does fault get divided?
Per RCW 4.22.005, Washington uses a pure comparative fault system where responsibility is assigned by percentage. While your recovery is reduced by your share of fault, you are not barred from filing a claim even if you are partially at fault. This applies to various accidents, including chain-reaction collisions, road hazards, or defective components.
How long does a personal injury case in Kirkland typically take?
Under RCW 4.16.080, most personal injury lawsuits in Washington must be filed within three years. However, acting early and immediately contacting our law firm gives the case time to develop properly without pressure from the filing deadline.
