After a crash, what should you save before the scene changes?

The scene of a collision changes quickly. Cars move, debris gets cleared, and witnesses leave. If you can do so safely, a few details can help preserve what happened:

• Photos of vehicle positions, damage, road conditions, signs, and visible injuries
• The other driver's information and the names of witnesses
• The incident or report number
• Records of medical visits, missed work, and expenses afterward

Get medical attention when you need it. You do not have to figure out the value of a claim while standing on the roadside. Our Everett team can review what happened and help you understand the next steps.

If you've been hurt and you've been putting off the call, this one's for you.

We get why people wait.

Maybe you're hoping things sort themselves out. Maybe you're not sure you have a real case. Maybe dealing with a lawyer feels like one more thing on top of everything else.

Here's what years of doing this work in Everett has taught us:

The hardest cases to win are the ones where people waited too long.

Evidence fades. Witnesses forget. The insurance company isn't waiting, and they've been building their side of the story since day one.

A call with our team costs you nothing. No pressure, no obligation, no fee unless we win.

If you've been hurt and you've been putting it off, today's the day to make the call.

If you've been putting off filing for disability, what's actually stopping you? We want to know.

We talk to people every week who waited months, sometimes years, before finally calling about a disability claim.

The reasons are almost always some version of:

-"I thought I'd get better and wouldn't need it"

-"I heard it's basically impossible to get approved"

-"I didn't know if my condition even qualified"

-"The paperwork felt overwhelming"

None of those are wrong to feel. But waiting almost never helps a claim, and it can cost you months of benefits you were entitled to.

SSD hearing coming up? Here's what actually happens in front of the judge.

A lot of the anxiety around Social Security Disability hearings comes from simply not knowing what to expect.

Here's the short version:

-Hearings are informal, usually just you, the judge, and sometimes a vocational or medical expert, not a courtroom drama

-The judge is deciding whether your condition prevents you from doing your past work or any other work

-Consistent medical treatment and documentation matter more than how the day of the hearing goes

-Having representation changes outcomes. Claimants with an attorney are approved at meaningfully higher rates than those without

If a hearing notice just showed up in your mailbox, the sooner you or your family prepares, the better your odds.

Free consultation. No fee unless we win your appeal.

Washington's crosswalk law says pedestrians have the right of way. Insurance companies argue anyway.

It surprises people how often fault still gets disputed even when the law is clear.

Here's what's actually true under Washington law:

-Drivers must yield to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks

-That legal right of way doesn't stop an insurance adjuster from claiming you 'came out of nowhere' or 'weren't visible'

-Traffic camera footage, witness statements, and phone location data can all matter in proving what actually happened

-Comparative fault in Washington means even partial blame assigned to you can reduce your payout, so how the story gets told matters

If you or a loved one was hit crossing the street anywhere in Everett, don't let the insurance company write the story for you.

Free consultation. No fee unless we win.

Sea-Tac Runway Collision

⚖️ When an injury involves a major airline, experience matters.

Russell & Hill attorney Dean Swanson has extensive experience advocating for injured consumers and taking on powerful corporations and major airline carriers when their actions cause harm.

Dean is currently representing a client in a lawsuit against Delta Air Lines and Japan Airlines following a runway collision at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

According to the complaint, our client was aboard a Delta flight bound for Puerto Vallarta when the wing of a Japan Airlines aircraft struck the tail of his plane during ground operations. The impact pushed the aircraft forward in what the lawsuit describes as a twisting motion, resulting in back injuries that have required significant medical care.

Several family members traveling with him have filed related claims, and the cases are expected to be consolidated in federal court.

Airlines have substantial resources behind them. Injured passengers deserve experienced advocates in their corner, too. Dean and the Russell & Hill team are committed to holding major carriers accountable and fighting for consumers when preventable incidents result in serious injuries.

Rear-ended by a delivery van in Everett? Why 'minor' truck accidents aren't always minor.

With how much delivery traffic runs through Everett and Snohomish County these days, low-speed collisions with commercial vans are becoming one of the more common calls we get.

A few things people don't expect:

-Soft tissue injuries from a 'minor' rear-end can take weeks to fully show up

-Delivery companies often have their own insurance adjusters trained to close claims fast and cheap

-Company vehicles usually carry commercial policies, which means more coverage is often available than people assume

-Dashcam and telematics data from the delivery vehicle can be requested, but only within a limited window

Don't let 'it was just a fender bender' talk you out of getting checked and getting the facts on record.

Not every case is right for us. Here's how we decide, and why it matters for you.

One of the most honest conversations we have with potential clients is explaining why we don't take every case that comes in.

We're selective, not because we don't care, but because we do.

We focus on personal injury and Social Security Disability cases where our experience and resources actually move the needle for the client and their family.

If a case isn't a fit, we'll tell you plainly and point you toward someone who can help.

If you're not sure whether your situation fits what we handle, call anyway. That conversation costs nothing.
