Have you been in a major car accident? Are you, or is someone near to you, the victim of negligence resulting in serious personal injury, such as a brain injury, a back injury, a spinal cord injury, or even wrongful death?
Perhaps your injury is the result of a workplace accident, a defective product, or unsafe conditions which have resulted in a life-changing injury.
If so, then you need help from attorneys who are experienced in the practice of personal injury and wrongful death law.
Brett Murphy is that law firm.
Our attorneys focus on the fields of personal injury and wrongful death law, and we only represent innocent victims – never the insurance companies or other interests who are out to cut their losses, deny critical medical care, or evade responsibility for the harm caused to victims of negligence.
Personal injury law is tremendously complicated, and most cases are only successfully resolved through tough negotiations by experienced attorneys who understand the intricacies of this field, and who are committed to getting the full settlement that is owed to the injured party. (Please see Our Results and Our Lawyers to learn more.)
We limit our practice to Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Law
When people of think of personal injury and wrongful death cases, they usually think first of car accidents. While these types of cases are the most common, every day innocent people are injured and killed in a variety of ways all across Washington.
Throughout our 40-year history we've developed intensive expertise to handle cases involving all types of vehicular accidents including car, bike, pedestrian, and motorcycle accidents; truck accidents (including big-rig trucks, tractor-trailers, delivery vehicles, and SUVs); aircraft (private and commercial); public transportation (rail, busses, and taxis); boats and ships; farm, industrial vehicles, and machinery (tractors, combines, forklifts); snowmobiles, ATVs, and just about everything else that moves across the land, sea, or air.
The fields of Personal Injury and Wrongful Death can also include accidents relating to fires, sporting injuries or deaths, and events which take place in pretty much any private or public space, from city streets to retail spaces to commercial and industrial properties.
Simply put, we represent the interests of innocent people who have been seriously injured or killed, through no fault of their own.

11 Ways We Help You with Your Insurance Claims
1) WE HELP YOU GET THE BEST POSSIBLE MEDICAL CARE AVAILABLE – NOW
Getting you the care you need, when you need it, is our top priority.
The healthcare system can be a confusing maze of options, restrictions, and denials. Quality of care and timely attention to medical needs are critical.
As your advocates, we will work with the doctors, the medical facilities, the insurance companies, and all others to make sure that you receive the best care available for the treatment of your injuries.
2) WE HELP YOU GET YOUR MEDICAL BILLS PAID
While you focus on getting well, Brett Murphy will make sure that all your bills are getting paid.
Our attorneys have the experience to properly navigate the complex layers of insurance coverage to track your medical bills, coordinate the reimbursement of out-of-pocket medical expenses, and optimize settlements to ensure that your current and future costs are fully covered. We communicate with doctors and collection agencies to resolve problems related to overdue accounts. Lastly, we work with your medical providers to ensure that your medical treatment is not interrupted due to exhaustion of your medical benefits.
3) WE CREATE A FUND FOR FUTURE MEDICAL BILLS
What if you still need help 20 years from now?
Our experienced team of attorneys and accounting specialists work closely with medical providers to obtain a settlement which includes a provision for all possible medical costs that you will likely encounter in the future. We use our deep knowledge of legal standards to meet insurance company requirements and access funds from all applicable insurance policies, so that your medical expenses will be fully covered.
4) WE GET YOU FULLY COMPENSATED FOR YOUR PROPERTY LOSS
Although you are entitled to be fully compensated for your losses, getting what's owed can be a struggle.
As your representatives, we'll take on the insurance adjusters, repair shops, and auto-towing companies to make sure that you receive every dollar that is owed to you.
5) WE SEE TO IT THAT YOU DON'T LOSE OUT ON WAGES AND INCOME
We determine your earning history, and we coordinate with your employer and doctors to document how your injury affects your short and long-term ability to work.
To do this, we enlist the help of financial and rehabilitation experts who are knowledgeable about regional economics and wage scales, to quantify all possible lost earnings. We compile this information to present to insurance companies during the settlement or litigation process.
6) WE HELP YOU GET RE-TRAINED AND RE-EMPLOYED
Serious injuries change lives. For some, the only option will be disability; for others it might mean a completely different vocation.
If your injuries prevent you from returning to your former employment, we collaborate with rehabilitation experts to determine your physical and mental abilities, and to identify opportunities to complete new training or enter a new field. We track the costs of training and any loss of income due to a change in employment, and we factor this information into the settlement or litigation process.
7) WE GET COMPENSATION FOR YOUR PAIN, SUFFERING, DISFIGUREMENT, AND DISABILITY
No amount of money can bring back the past. We will, however, do everything possible to help you to move forward with dignity and independence.
We will represent you in all interactions with insurance companies and other parties, making sure that you are viewed respectfully as a person who has experienced genuine physical, financial, and emotional damages resulting from the accident. In short, our lawyers make sure that you are not just a number on an insurance claim form. We document the true and full impact that your injury has had on your life. We gather photos, interviews, and declarations of witnesses to support you in gaining the largest settlement possible.
8) WE HANDLE ALL THE PAPERWORK FOR YOU
Even the simplest case can generate stacks of confusing paperwork. Not responding in a timely manner, honest errors, and omissions can undermine your case and potential settlement.
We are highly experienced at managing the administrative demands required to secure a successful claim. Our injury lawyers and staff oversee all document preparation, filings, mailing, and tracking. We coordinate the high volume of communications with insurance companies, doctors, medical facilities, other attorneys, courts, and witnesses to gather and deliver all required information and documents, and make sure that your case is handled in an effective, timely manner.
9) WE DEAL WITH THE INSURANCE ADJUSTERS AND COMPANIES
Insurance adjusters are paid well to settle your case for the lowest dollar amount possible.
As your attorneys, we represent your interests, and we will not back away from going head-to-head with the big insurance companies. Our mission is to see that you are fully taken care of, and that you receive everything which is owed to you. Taking on the pros can be exhausting, which is why it's best to let an experienced legal team handle all day-to-day communications, manage the flow of information, documents, and related paperwork, so as to complete your claim with the best possible settlement in your favor.
10) WE KNOW WHAT CLAIMS ARE WORTH AND WE WON'T SETTLE SHORT
With 40 years of practice and a record of landmark settlements, we know what a full settlement is, and we know how to get it.
We access numerous legal databases and informational resources to determine claim values, taking into consideration all losses resulting from your accident and injuries. Our attorneys are known for putting the time into each case to identify all current and future losses, and we put forth all effort necessary to achieve the results you expect.
11) WE HANDLE THE TOUGH NEGOTIATIONS
Battles over money are never pleasant.
We engage in aggressive negotiations with insurance adjusters to deliver the highest settlements possible. Our lawyers use their negotiation skills to secure agreements with adjusters to reduce the amount of money owed to insurance companies to repay them for their payment of your medical bills, thus maximizing your net recovery. We know the legal processes required to obtain further settlements from insurance companies in situations where the at-fault person has inadequate coverage.
