Complex litigation and filing claims against state and municipal entities
When enough accidents happen at an intersection or curve, Washington requires guardrails or signage to be installed. We represented clients in a complex case against the state of Washington and were able to recover a multi-million dollar jury verdict for our client where the government failed to install the proper safety measures. Road design cases can become complex and require that plaintiffs follow a strict statute of limitations and procedures to file claims against the state or local municipalities. Our legal team has the experience to jump through these legal hoops.
