Being human means showing that we aren't perfect, we can trip, and you can have mess-ups. We aren't up here while our clients are down there—we are together in the human sphere, experiencing this journey on the same level. That relatability builds real trust with our clients and before a jury.

To prove negligence we have to show three things.

There was a duty owed by the at-fault person. The plaintiff was in the class of people that duty was owed to. And the at-fault person breached that duty — they didn't do what they were supposed to do, or they did something the wrong way.

We use industry standards, codes, and regulations to figure out what should have happened and what didn't.

A good agent is invaluable because when something happens, you don't want to think that you have coverage, 'Oh, I have full coverage,' and then something happens and it turns out that you didn't. And that agent is going to bat for you if maybe they made a mistake. That's where their Errors and Omissions come in and cover their mistake.

There’s a stigma around personal injury cases.

That people are being greedy, or asking for too much.

But the reality is—we can’t undo what happened.

We can’t give someone their health back.

The only way the system allows someone to recover is financially.

And that’s not about greed. It’s about accountability, and making sure it doesn’t happen to someone else.

A friend mine as soon as she got up to give her opening statements, tripped and fell flat on her face right in front of the jury, got up and said “Don’t want to do that again.”

The jury loved her and trusted her from that point forward because they somehow identified with this mistake of falling on your face in front of somebody else, but still being able to get up and do what you needed to do.

And I still remember that story because it took a lot of fear out of practicing and doing trial work, because turns out that the community actually wants to be with you and wants to know your mistakes. And that's really reassuring that we can all kind of have that same experience, and it's okay.

In Washington State, individuals have a three-year statute of limitations to either settle a personal injury claim with an insurance company or formally file a lawsuit and serve the involved parties. If this deadline passes without action, the claim becomes void and compensation cannot be recovered.

Growing up as the youngest of four girls in an Irish-German household, I had to learn how to fight like hell to survive. That competitive drive transferred perfectly into my career as a personal injury attorney. I love what I do, I love to win, and I will always fight like a dog for my clients.

A pedestrian client got hit by a car in a crosswalk. The driver claimed she jumped in front of the vehicle. A nearby business security camera would have captured everything, but their policy was to keep footage for a week and delete it unless they knew something had happened. They didn't know. The video was gone. Without it, the case dragged into full litigation — we deposed 14 different drivers who had been in the area, called people who had posted on Facebook about the news coverage, hired an accident reconstructionist, and deposed both parties. We eventually proved she was in the crosswalk, but the whole thing cost far more time and money than it should have.

One of the first things I tell people when they call me — even if they're not sure they want me to represent them yet — is go find out if there's video. Does a business have footage of it? Does someone have a Ring camera that might have caught something? Ask them to preserve it.

Please go and look at your policies and see that you have protection for yourself. There are so many drivers out there that don't have insurance or they don't have enough. Go look at your policy. Make sure you know what you have because it's not just going to protect you, it's going to protect your—your friends and family if they're in your car as well. And make sure that you have PIP if you don't.

In Washington State, you can still recover damages even if you were not perfectly healthy when you got hurt. The law protects "eggshell plaintiffs" whether an accident "lights up" a condition that previously had no symptoms, or aggravates an existing injury and makes your pain worse. If an incident worsens your pre-existing health issues or limits your daily activities, you are still entitled to compensation for that additional impact.
