Practicing throughout the greater Seattle area, Jacobs Law Group is a father-son team of personal injury attorneys committed to treating each client with care and respect while providing strong legal representation. We have a proven track record of success against insurance companies that refuse to fairly compensate victims of negligence.
News & Results
On July 3, 2023, the Washington Court of Appeals affirmed a King County jury verdict of $150.3 million for two families who lost loved ones and for three people who were injured as a result of the April 27, 2019 tower crane collapse in Seattle. The verdict was rendered on March 14, 2022 following a five-week trial.
$12.3 million was awarded to our client, who sustained physical and psychological injuries due to this incident. Mobile crane operator Omega Morgan Sarens as well as Northwest Tower Crane Service, which was in charge of erecting and dismantling the tower crane, were found to be largely responsible for the deaths and injuries.
CLIENTS
For those who have been injured due to the negligent act of another party, we work to obtain proper recourse. This includes resolving property damage claims while ensuring that reasonable and necessary treatment is received so that each client can get back as closely as possible to their pre-injury status.
We work to get past and future treatment costs and employment loss of earnings reimbursed as well as noneconomic damages compensated including pain and suffering. We help alleviate the stress involved in dealing with an insurance company that may or may not be acting honestly, fairly, or in good faith.
AWARDS
An insurance company owes fees and costs when they appeal an arbitration award and fail to better their result. In our most recent trial victory against Allstate, the case could have settled for $32,500; however, they paid $210,000 to satisfy the jury verdict after appealing our injured client’s arbitration award.
In addition to our trial victories, we regularly reach favorable pretrial results through diligent case preparation. In a recent case, we obtained a $9.3 million settlement on behalf of our injured client. We have a record of success against insurance companies that refuse to fairly compensate victims of negligence.
