Why Injured People Turn to Lindquist & Kornfeld

Finding a Seattle personal injury attorney is about more than legal knowledge; it is about finding an advocate who understands your experience. Having personally navigated surgery and rehabilitation following a serious injury, Robert Kornfeld brings firsthand understanding to every case. Our firm handles complex cases that require detailed documentation of long-term medical needs and future care.

We listen carefully to every detail of your situation, from physical pain to lost income, to build a strategy that addresses your specific needs rather than treating you like just another case number.

What to Do After an Injury

After an accident, pain or shock can make clear thinking difficult, but prompt action can protect your health and a potential legal claim. Prioritize a medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor, as conditions ranging from concussions to catastrophic injuries may not be immediately apparent. An early medical record can document the connection between the incident and the injuries being treated.

If the incident involves a vehicle collision on Seattle roads or a slip-and-fall in a business, ask that the event be officially documented by calling 911 or requesting a manager’s report. While at the scene, safely gather evidence such as witness contacts and photos, but avoid providing detailed statements to insurance adjusters who may push for a quick, undervalued settlement. Before signing any documents, talk with our attorneys about how the terms could affect your rights and future recovery.

How Our Team Handles Your Claim

Many people feel anxious about contacting a Seattle accident lawyer because they don’t know what the legal process involves. Our approach begins with an initial consultation focused on listening to your experience, reviewing medical records, and discussing potential timelines. If we proceed, our team can gather evidence, including collision reports and witness statements, while assessing the long-term impact of the injury on your career and family life.

Throughout the case, we manage communications with insurance companies and third parties to reduce your administrative burden. We provide regular updates as your medical status evolves and offer clear, jargon-free explanations of settlement offers so you can make informed decisions. If the case requires litigation in a venue such as King County Superior Court, we guide you through every phase of the lawsuit.

Accidents & Injuries We Commonly See

Our work covers auto accidents, including intersection and rear-end crashes and pedestrian and bicycle accidents, as well as injuries from unsafe property conditions such as poorly maintained walkways. We analyze each incident to identify how a failure to follow safety rules or exercise reasonable care caused the harm. We represent clients with injuries ranging from fractures and soft tissue strains to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage. Even moderate injuries can disrupt employment, childcare, and daily life or require long-term treatment and home modifications.

In serious injury and wrongful death cases, we use medical documentation to show how an accident has altered a client’s life. We evaluate each person’s medical needs, lost income, family responsibilities, and daily limitations rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all assessment.
