$144.27. That’s how much less an insurance company paid a Washington doctor than he billed for treating a patient, and the dispute went all the way to the Washington Supreme Court.

That case opens Christopher’s new article, “What Does ‘Reasonable’ Mean?”, in the September/October issue of Pierce County Lawyer, the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association’s magazine. It traces twenty years of Washington insurance law to a question that matters more every year: what happens when the decision on your claim comes from a computer program instead of a person?

Washington’s new claims-handling rules take effect October 18. Christopher explains some of what they change and what they leave open.

Kendall and Christopher spent last weekend at the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association's 30th Annual Convention in Suquamish. Christopher presented a CLE titled "Order Taker Doctrine: Gameover for Policy Holders??,” which covered the order taker doctrine and what it means for policyholders. As president of the TPCBA New and Young Lawyers Section, he also hosted the section's w**e toss at Saturday night's party. Thanks to everyone who came to the session and stopped by the w**e toss, and to TPCBA for putting on a great weekend. It was nice to catch up with so many colleagues from the Pierce County bar.

A little late on this one. In June, Christopher played in the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association golf tournament with Liz Johnson, Ash Meer, and Sven Nelson (running for Pierce County District Court, position 8). Their team came in dead last, won a prize for it, and wore it like a badge of honor. Thanks to the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association for a fun day.

Special thanks to B&A Litigation for the photo.

Last month, Christopher Walsh traded the courtroom for the waters of Sitka, Alaska, joining claims handling expert Robert Dietz and public adjuster Taylor Babb of Pacific Public Adjusters for a much-needed fishing trip.

Between reeling in salmon, rockfish, and halibut and taking in Southeast Alaska's stunning scenery, the group enjoyed a rare chance to unplug and swap stories away from the world of claims and litigation. It was a great reminder that some of the best professional relationships are built far from the office.

Christopher's latest article, "What's That? After the fire: What Cathie Case learned about her coverage too late," appears in the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association's Pierce County Lawyer magazine.

It's a piece about the coverage gaps too many homeowners don't discover until after a loss, and why understanding your policy before disaster strikes matters.

Christopher will be presenting a CLE on this topic at the TPCBA Annual Convention in September. If this topic interests you, please attend.

Christopher recently authored “Speak Up for Justice: A Call to the Bar,” published in the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association’s Pierce County Lawyer magazine.

It’s a piece about the responsibility attorneys have to speak up and stay engaged in protecting the rule of law—something that feels especially important right now.

Earlier this month, Christopher Walsh presented at the Washington State Association for Justice (WSAJ) Insurance Law Seminar.

Christopher’s presentation, “Insurance Producer Malpractice in Washington: The ‘Order Taker’ Problem in Procuring Coverage,” focused on insurance producer liability in Washington and the real-world consequences policyholders face when adequate coverage is not properly procured.

We are grateful to WSAJ for the opportunity to be part of such an important discussion alongside so many talented members of Washington’s legal community.
