DUI/DWI
Drunk driving is not a victimless crime. Every year thousands of innocent people are injured or killed due to a person’s reckless decision to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This is why DUI carries serious criminal penalties in Washington State. But jail time for a drunk driver does little to compensate the victims and their families for the damages caused.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one unexpectedly because of another’s negligence is devastating, heartbreaking, and frustrating. It is certainly no time to have to deal with pushy insurance adjusters, skeptical investigators, and bureaucratic claims departments. Even so, this is also a time of great financial need for a family facing sizeable bills for final medical expenses and funeral and burial costs, dealing with the loss of income from a wage earner or the loss of a caregiver or provider of household services, and trying to move past the pain and put your life back in order after the rug has been pulled out from under you by another’s careless behavior or intentional misconduct. The attorneys at Emerald Law Group understand what you are going through, and we are here to guide you, help you, and stand by you in your time of need. Fatal accident cases are often complex, requiring a thorough investigation to establish the facts and cause and determine whether another party is liable. Our commitment to you is to see that you are taken care of and get the compensation you need and deserve after a beloved family is taken from you through another’s negligence. Contact our experienced Seattle wrongful death lawyers today for a no-cost consultation to discuss your needs.
Traffic Violations
Despite their additional hours of training to become commercial truck drivers, truckers are prone to making the same mistakes as other drivers – speeding, texting while driving, drinking and driving, not paying attention, and driving recklessly or aggressively – but with much worse results. Tractor-trailers are more than 20 times heavier than passenger vehicles when loaded with cargo, so the force of their impact is often disastrous to the occupants of the smaller, lighter car. The size and weight of an 18-wheeler also make it harder to maneuver so that they need more stopping distance and reaction time to avoid a collision. For their part, negligent auto drivers not only make mistakes like speeding and distracted driving, but when it comes to driving around tractor-trailers, they don’t always give truckers the time and space they need to merge lanes or stop safely.
Sex Crimes
Sexual violence and abuse remains shockingly common in the United States. According to figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over half of women and one-third of men living in the United States have experienced some form of sexual violence during their lifetimes. Sexual abuse frequently begins during childhood and teenager years. The CDC reports that 80 percent of female rape survivors were first raped before the age of 25, and about half were raped before reaching the age of 18.
Robbery
Crime can occur anywhere. Public places such as shopping malls, restaurants, bars, and even amusement parks are especially attractive to individuals looking to hurt someone. And while the police can arrest a person for committing a crime like robbery or assault, that still leaves the victim facing out-of-pocket losses and possible long-term physical and emotional injuries.
Theft
Assault
Hit and Run
Even though liability insurance is required by law, Washington state ranks fifth in the country for having the most uninsured drivers. Over 20% of motorists – more than one in five drivers on Washington roads – are uninsured. If you have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your auto policy, you can use your insurance if you are hit by an uninsured driver or if you are injured in a hit-and-run or phantom vehicle accident where another driver caused you to crash without actually impacting your vehicle, such as by swerving into your lane and then speeding off. UM/UIM can also help you maximize compensation if the other driver only carries minimal coverage that doesn’t meet your expenses and you have higher limits on your UM/UIM policy. You’ll still need to deal with insurance claims adjusters who will downplay the severity of the accident and try to settle your claim for less than it is worth.

Wrongful Termination
Washington courts and our laws protect you if you report your employer for illegal conduct or conduct that violates public policy. Our courts allow you, as an employee, protections from retaliation when you report your employer’s violations of law or other practices and, as a result of such report, suffer retaliation in the form of dismissal from your job, demotion, or other adverse actions taken against you. If you are fired, this may be grounds for a wrongful discharge claim
Employment Discrimination
There are a number of different laws that prohibit discrimination in the workplace. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Washington’s Law Against Discrimination is our state’s anti-discrimination law, and in many ways provides greater protection against discrimination than does Title VII. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 is a federal law that protects individuals with disabilities in a number of realms, including employment. Another federal statute prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities is the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination by federal agencies or agencies that receive federal funding. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as its name suggests, prohibits employment discrimination based on age. The Family & Medical Leave Act provides job protection for many workers who miss work due to their own illness or that of a family member. In addition to these state and federal laws, many counties and cities have anti-discrimination ordinances that protect workers in those jurisdictions.
Employment Litigation
At Emerald Law Group, we represent employees in a wide range of claims arising from their employment. We handle claims of discrimination and harassment based on age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, race, creed, color, national origin, and disability. We represent employees with disabilities who are seeking reasonable accommodation from their employers, or whose requests for reasonable accommodation have been denied. We represent employees who have experienced retaliation for whistleblowing or for reporting discrimination. We also represent employees who have been unpaid or underpaid for their work.
Sexual Harassment
It is also sexual harassment if your manager or supervisor uses his or her authority to make unwelcome sexual advances. If your boss threatens to fire you if you don’t have sex with him, this is sexual harassment. It’s also sexual harassment if your boss promises you a promotion if you do have sex with him.

Premises Liability
Premises liability refers to the responsibility of a property owner to provide reasonably safe premises for the safety of others on their property. This duty extends to all property open to the public, including stores, government buildings, municipal swimming pools, amusement parks and playgrounds, and even city streets and sidewalks. Places of accommodation, including hotels and casino resorts as well as apartments or rental properties, are covered as well. If an accident or injury occurs on these premises because the owner was somehow negligent in allowing the accident to occur, the injury victim can hold the property owner liable for the harm incurred, including compensation for medical bills, loss of income, pain and suffering, and other legal damages.
Property Damage
All automobile drivers in Washington state are required to carry liability insurance or proof of financial responsibility sufficient to cover $25,000 in personal injury damages they cause someone in a wreck, up to $50,000 if more than one person is injured, plus $10,000 for property damage they cause. Despite this law, over 20% of drivers don’t carry insurance, making Washington the number five state in the nation for having the most uninsured drivers. What happens, then, if your motorcycle crash is caused by a negligent, uninsured driver?

Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
When we think about the most common sources of injuries, we tend to think about things like car accidents or slip and falls. But a surprising number of people are seriously injured each year due to dog bites. Indeed, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that roughly 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year, and 1 out of every 5 dog bites–approximately 900,000 people annually–results in an infection.
Disability Discrimination
The ADA contains its own civil remedies independent of personal injury law. This means that if you are unable to access a building due to the owner’s failure to provide a reasonable accommodation, you could file a lawsuit on the basis of disability discrimination even if you were not injured in an accident on the property. But if you were also injured physically due to the owner’s failure to comply with the ADA, you can cite that non-compliance as proof of the owner’s negligence in a subsequent personal injury lawsuit.
Slip and Fall Injury
A slip and fall can happen anywhere. If the property owner created the hazard, if they had actual or constructive notice of the slippery conditions, or if a slip and fall was reasonably foreseeable to happen, the owner can be held liable for the injury. Damages after a slip and fall accident can include medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, loss in quality of life, and other consequences of the injury. Emerald Law Group takes on all types of negligent property owners and holds them accountable for slip and fall accidents on their premises caused by their negligence. Our slip and fall injury practice includes cases against the following, among others...
