Compassionate Legal Support for Motorcycle Accident Victims
At Lindquist & Kornfeld, we understand the unique challenges faced by motorcycle accident victims in Bellevue, WA. Led by Robert Kornfeld, our firm uses empathy and extensive experience to guide you through the complexities of personal injury claims.

Our team's deep knowledge of Bellevue's traffic patterns and common road hazards, coupled with our professional experience, makes us uniquely equipped to handle these challenging cases.
Motorcycles, being smaller and less visible than other vehicles, present a significant risk on the road. Despite having the same rights as any other motor vehicle, motorcyclists often face bias on the road and in the courtroom. Our Bellevue-based team is dedicated to overcoming these hurdles by ensuring your story is heard and that justice is served effectively.
