Working with You to Obtain Equitable Compensation
You may have a personal injury claim if the following occurred:
- A car, motorcycle, or truck accident caused by someone else's reckless driving
- A construction or job site injury caused by someone's negligence
- An injury at work caused by someone who is not a coworker
These are just a few examples of what can potentially constitute a personal injury claim. We are available 24/7 to assist you with every step of the process. We have a comprehensive understanding of Washington law pertaining to personal injury claims and will fight aggressively for a successful outcome. Every personal injury claim is different, so we create an individualized plan after a comprehensive evaluation of the facts of your claim.
For your initial, complimentary consultation, call our Washington personal injury lawyers at (253) 544-5935 or use our online form.
"Jodi encouraged Aaron to reach out to Palace Law after they heard about the firm through a friend. She knew he needed someone who truly understood what it was like to be a public servant and to carry the weight of those hard days. For Jodi, Palace Law was different."
There are essentially three primary elements of a personal injury claim: Liability, Damages, and Proximate Cause (the link between the two). You must show the other person was negligent and that the negligence caused your accident. You must also have damages — economic (like medical expenses) or non-economic (like pain and suffering) — and be able to link the two together.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Washington?
The statute of limitations on personal injury claims in Washington is three years from the accident date, under RCW 4.16.080. If you do not file your claim within this timeframe, you may lose your right to receive compensation for your injuries entirely.
Certain factors, such as the involvement of a governmental entity, may alter the typical statute of limitations, requiring a shorter notice-of-claim timeframe. Consulting our team early can help you navigate these requirements and preserve your claim.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Claim Worth in Washington?
The value of your claim depends on damages — the financial cost to you for your physical and mental injuries. In some instances, punitive damages may also be a factor if a jury believes the defendant's conduct was egregious.
- Compensatory damages compensate the plaintiff for losses due to the accident — medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, disability, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium.
- Punitive damages can be awarded when a defendant acted willfully or carelessly, aimed at punishing the conduct and deterring others.
Our legal team conducts a detailed analysis of both current and future expenses related to your injury — long-term care needs, rehabilitation costs, and potential income losses — to pursue a compensation package that reflects your unique circumstances.
What to Expect with an Injury Lawyer in Washington
After the initial consultation, we investigate the specifics of your accident, gathering evidence such as medical reports, photographic evidence, and witness testimony. With that evidence, our attorneys develop a tailored strategy and advocate on your behalf during negotiations. If negotiations don't result in an acceptable offer, we're prepared to take the claim to court.

Totally a 5 star Law Firm. They actually care about "the RIGHT thing to do" and everyone has done and said nothing short of that. I have, would, and will, recommend them to anyone that has had a workplace injury and needs help navigating their way through the L&I process because L&I says they're there for you, but they really aren't. Palace Law really is and win or lose, they really do the footwork necessary to get you what's due. Thanks again for all your continuing help!!

I had an outstanding experience working with Ciana on a personal injury matter. Without her expertise, I would have never realized that I even had a case. Ciana’s attention to detail and deep understanding of personal injury law were invaluable. She guided me through every step with professionalism and care, ensuring I understood the process and felt supported. Thanks to her diligence and expertise, what could have been overlooked became a well-handled case. I highly recommend Ciana to anyone needing a knowledgeable and dedicated legal professional.

I have worked with PALACE law for the last five years. On several occasions, my lawyer without her knowledge, has talk me off the edge when I was ready to give up. This company not only did they have my best interest, but also my well-being. I can not say enough positive things about my lawyer, Stefanie Carlton, she is always going above and beyond!

They have been entirely helpful since they accepted my case. Thorough and informative every step of the way. When I had an IME and no gas in my car they arranged for a ride to and from. After fighting tooth and nail myself with little to no results Palace Law stepped in and immediately Sedgwick stopped dragging me through the mud.
