How a Kirkland Brain Injury Lawyer Can Help
Brain injury cases often require more than basic proof of an accident. A strong claim may depend on medical records, legal opinions, witness statements, and evidence showing how the injury has affected your ability to work and live normally. A Kirkland brain injury lawyer can help by investigating what happened, gathering evidence, working with medical professionals, and dealing with insurance companies on your behalf.
At Lindquist & Kornfeld, we take a detailed approach to traumatic brain injury claims. We review medical records, speak with treating providers, and, when needed, work with specialists who can explain the long-term effects of the injury. We may also gather statements from family members, coworkers, and others who have seen how your condition has changed since the accident. This helps us present a clearer picture of both the visible and invisible harm caused by the injury.

Our Client Testimonials

“Robert Kornfeld provided outstanding legal services for me in response to injuries I incurred as a result of physician and medical staff neglect at a major Washington-based medical center. His drive, professionalism, and experience resulted in a significant financial award for me.”- Car Accident Client

“From the day we walked into Mr. Kornfeld's office until the time our case was resolved, we knew that we were never alone in the journey. We sought justice after facing a terrible ordeal, and with Rob's unwavering support, we were able to bring a semblance of closure to the things we had to go through as a family. Together with the superb assistance of Dawn, his knowledgeable and very organized paralegal, Rob made sure that all issues we faced were noted, and properly addressed. He listened intently, weighed the pros and cons of our case, and answered our questions diligently. He was always on top of the situation, making sure that the other party would not have the chance to give excuses for misjudgment or trivial conclusions. Not once did Rob make us feel pressured when prompted to make decisions, too. Throughout the process, he was there with and for us every step of the way. Dawn, on the other hand, with her quiet presence and immeasurable compassion, kept us constantly informed and updated. Rob, given his extensive knowledge and remarkable experience in medical malpractice, is, without doubt, the BEST advocate anyone could hope for.”- Anonymous

“My wife and I were involved in a 4 vehicle accident in late 2011. I was following my wife as we drove separately in our cars. As traffic stopped in front of her, I saw the situation and proceeded to slow almost to a stop when a vehicle following me, obviously not aware of the situation, struck me from behind, forcing me into my wife's car and she into a truck in front of her. All the vehicles besides the truck were totaled. Two "witnesses", who were not at good vantage points to see the accident, wrote incorrect information, which unfortunately the other driver's insurance company grabbed onto in their claim their insured was not totally at fault. Our insurance company was not obtaining witness reports and other information to help us in this situation. As we had suffered injuries directly related to the accident, as well as lost both cars, we chose to hire an attorney to help navigate through the mess. I searched online reviews and AVVO and identified a couple possible attorneys. After meeting with Rob Kornfeld, we knew we had just hired an advocate and an experienced litigator who wouldn't be deterred by insurance company tactics. I'm so glad we did. While the long wait to conclude medical procedures and to schedule depositions took much longer than we would have hoped, in the end, at arbitration, the legal expertise of Rob Kornfeld was evident and the smoke and mirrors presented by the opposing insurance company counsel proved futile. The Arbitrator ruled 100% in our favor and we had 0% liability. The Arbitrator award was reasonable and allowed us to recover our costs and reimburse for medical expenses plus some general damages. Rob's legal staff was good at keeping us updated when we had questions and responded to my requests for copies of documents and information. Rob shared his cell number so we were able to communicate directly when key parts of our case were coming up. Rob was very frank about potential risks he saw in the case, as well as what he felt was needed to prove our points. He always asked if there were questions we wanted answered during depositions and would help explain things me or my wife didn't understand. We felt heard, supported and confident being represented by Rob Kornfeld. We have no reservations in recommending Rob and his team to anyone needing representation against in insurance environment that is all about business and the bottom line.”- Brian
