Frequently Asked Questions

We help people with serious injuries, including:

• Head injuries (including traumatic brain injury)
  
• Spinal injuries and paralysis
  
• Broken bones
  
• Burns and scarring
  
• Wrongful death of a loved one
  

Regardless of the type of injury or how you were hurt, an injury that affects your life daily is serious. Whether you were injured at work, on the road, or in a public space, if someone else caused you serious injury, they should be held accountable. We’re here to help you get the justice and compensation you deserve.

At Bastion Law, you don’t pay anything upfront. We will work on a contingency basis — meaning you only pay us if we recover money for you. The consultation is free, and we’ll explain everything clearly before you decide to move forward.

Every case is different. The value depends on your injuries, medical bills, lost income, and how the accident has affected your life. We take the time to understand your story — and we fight to get you the full compensation you deserve.

Not always. Many cases settle outside of court. But if the insurance company doesn’t offer a fair settlement, we’re prepared to take your case to trial. We’re a trial-focused firm — that means we’re ready for anything, and insurance companies know it.

Washington has a 3-year time limit (called the statute of limitations) for cases in which another person’s mistake (i.e. negligence or accident) caused you harm. But that time limit can be reduced to two years or less depending on the facts of your case. Even with three years, it’s smart to act sooner — evidence fades, and delays can hurt your case. Reach out as soon as you can so we can start building your claim.

Bring what you can — including:

• Photos of the scene or injuries
  
• Police or accident reports
  
• Medical records or bills
  
• Names of any witnesses
  
• Letters from any insurance companies about your claim

If you don’t have all of this yet, that’s okay. We’ll guide you through it.

We’re not just a law firm — we’re advocates for people across Washington who’ve been hurt and left to navigate a complex system alone. Whether you’re a working parent, a small business owner, a union tradesman, or someone simply going about your day — if you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you deserve more than a quick payout or an apology. You deserve a legal team that’s ready to fight for what’s right — and that’s exactly what we do.
