The 10 Best Personal Injury Lawyers in Seattle

Seattle

If you’ve suffered an accident or injury that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to compensation. But getting that compensation can sometimes be easier said than done. Insurance companies have all kind of tricks up their sleeves, and can often wriggle out of even the tightest squeeze without having to part with a single cent. If you want to get the justice you deserve, you’re going to need a good Personal Injury lawyer on your side. If you live in the Seattle area, you won’t be disappointed with the services of any from our roundup of the ‘10 Best Personal Injury Lawyers in Seattle’.

10. Vanessa Micol Vanderbrug

Vanessa Micol Vanderbrug is a Personal Injury Lawyer with 19 years of experience under her belt, not to mention an outstanding record for winning big-figure settlements and verdicts for her clients. Diligent, dedicated, and with a tenacious, aggressive approach to litigation, she’s one of Seattle’s rising stars… a fact recognized by Washington Law & Politics Magazine when it named her that exact same thing in 2009.

9. Eric Steven Nelson

Eric Steven Nelson enjoys an enviable 10.0 superb rating on Avvo.com. Considering his history of securing million-dollar verdicts and settlements, his 27 years of experience in personal injury cases, and his reputation as a tenacious, relentless advocate, it’s easy to understand why… although if you’re still in any doubt, just check out some of the feedback from his clients. “Eric Nelson has handled more than one personal injury case for me,” says one particularly satisfied customer. “He has done a great job for me!. He is trustworthy and cares for his clients in a way that made me feel very comfortable in recommending him to others, he is excellent from start to finish and keeps you in informed throughout the entire process, thank you, Eric!” As commendations go, it’s convincing stuff.

As a partner at Osborn Machler, P.L.L.C., Simeon Osborn enjoys a reputation as one of Seattle’s most respected advocates. Not content with simply securing justice for his clients, some of his cases have even resulted in a change to state law – something that no doubt explains the AV Preeminent rating he’s been awarded by review service Martindale-Hubbell.

If you want a diligent advocate whose success rate precedes them, he could well be your ideal match.

Otorowski.
