After a car accident, you're dealing with injuries, medical appointments, lost wages, and the stress of recovery. The last thing you need is to fight with insurance companies while trying to heal. Yet this is exactly what many accident victims face when they attempt to handle claims on their own.
At Lindquist & Kornfeld, we've spent over 40 years standing up for injury victims throughout the Seattle area. We understand that having the right attorney by your side can make all the difference in the outcome of your case and your ability to focus on what matters most—your recovery.
Insurance Companies Prioritize Profits, Not Your Recovery
It's important to understand that insurance companies are businesses designed to maximize profits. Their goal is to pay out as little as possible on claims, even when you're clearly entitled to compensation. Adjusters are trained to use tactics that protect the company's bottom line, not your best interests.
Common strategies include:
Offering quick, lowball settlements before you understand the full extent of your injuries
Downplaying the severity of your injuries or suggesting they're pre-existing
Pressuring you to give recorded statements that can be used against you later
Delaying the claims process in hopes you'll become frustrated and accept less
Without legal representation, you're at a significant disadvantage when dealing with insurance companies. They have teams of adjusters and attorneys working to minimize your payout. You deserve someone equally committed to fighting for your rights.
Your Attorney Works for You, Not the Insurance Company
When you hire a car accident attorney, you gain an advocate whose sole focus is protecting your interests and securing the compensation you deserve. Your attorney handles the complex aspects of your claim so you can concentrate on healing.
When you work with our firm, we’ll handle:
Investigating the accident to establish clear liability
Gathering and organizing medical records and other evidence
Calculating the full value of your damages, including future costs
Negotiating with insurance companies on your behalf
Preparing your case for trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached
By managing these unknowns and complexities, your attorney removes the burden from your shoulders during an already difficult time. You shouldn't have to become a legal expert while recovering from injuries. That's our job.
Attorney-Client Relationships Are Built on Trust
At Lindquist & Kornfeld, we believe that trust is the foundation of every successful attorney-client relationship. That's why attorney Neil Lindquist makes it a priority to meet clients face-to-face, rather than just handing off cases to paralegals or support staff.
When you work with our firm, you're not just another case number. You're someone who deserves personal attention, clear communication, and genuine care about your situation. We treat our clients like family because we understand that behind every case is a real person dealing with real challenges.
Building trust means being available to answer your questions, keeping you informed about the progress of your case, providing honest assessments of your claim and realistic expectations, and always putting your best interests first. This personal approach ensures you feel supported and confident throughout the legal process.
You Don't Pay Unless You Win
One of the biggest concerns people have after an accident is how they'll afford an attorney while facing mounting medical bills and lost income. At Lindquist & Kornfeld, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don't pay any attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation for you.
This arrangement accomplishes several important things, including:
Eliminating financial barriers to quality legal representation
Aligning our interests with yours—we only succeed when you do
Allowing you to pursue justice without upfront costs or financial risk
There are no hourly fees, retainers, or surprise bills. You can access experienced legal representation regardless of your financial situation. This contingency fee model reflects our confidence in our ability to secure results and our commitment to making legal services accessible to those who need them most.
Legal Expertise Matters—Don't Navigate the System Alone
The legal system is complex, and personal injury law has numerous procedural requirements, deadlines, and standards that can affect your ability to recover compensation. Attempting to handle a car accident claim without legal expertise can result in costly mistakes.
Washington state law has specific statutes of limitations that determine how long you have to file a claim. Missing these deadlines can mean losing your right to compensation entirely. Additionally, understanding how to properly value your claim, including future medical expenses and lost earning capacity, requires experience and knowledge that many people lack.
Insurance companies know when they're dealing with an unrepresented claimant, and they take advantage of that situation. They're far less likely to offer fair settlements when they know you don't have an attorney reviewing their proposals.
Our car accident attorneys have handled countless cases and understand the tactics insurance companies use. We know how to build strong cases, negotiate effectively, and take cases to trial when necessary. This expertise translates directly into better outcomes for our clients.
Choose Experience, Trust, and Results
After a car accident, the decisions you make in the days and weeks that follow can significantly impact your recovery and your future.
