Seattle Catastrophic Injury Attorneys
Serious Injury Lawyers Serving Kent, Federal Way, Redmond, Des Moines, and Tukwila
A catastrophic injury can be devastating on so many levels. If you have sustained a catastrophic injury due to negligence, do not expect a powerful insurance company to take care of you. Insurance companies make money by taking in as much in premiums as possible and paying out as little as possible. You need a capable, experienced catastrophic injury attorney on your side to fight for your rights.
Our law firm does not fear large insurance companies – they fear us. At Bishop Legal, we fight for the maximum compensation our clients deserve for injuries and damages they have suffered and will continue to suffer. This includes medical bills, lost wages, future financial considerations, future medical needs, and compensatory damages for the pain and suffering endured.
No catastrophic injury victim should accept a settlement offer from a negligent party that does not justly compensate them for the losses they have sustained. Our attorneys take great pride and satisfaction in being able to help seriously injured accident victims get results that reflect the full and fair value of their losses. That is why we don’t accept every case. We want the time and resources to properly prepare a high-value case and secure the experts needed to prove negligence and damages. We are committed to helping the most seriously injured victims get maximum compensation for their claims.
Our no recovery/no fee policy means you owe us no legal fees unless we help you recover compensation. We’re also standing by 24/7 to take your call and schedule your complimentary case evaluation.

Types of Catastrophic Injury Cases We Handle
A catastrophic injury causes severe, long-term damage with substantial effects on an individual’s ability to live their life. These injuries often result in permanent disabilities or significant limitations in mobility, cognition, or overall independence. They demand extensive medical attention, rehabilitation, and ongoing care, as they impact not only the body but also the emotional and financial well-being of the injured individual and their family.
Our team at Bishop Legal has represented catastrophic injury victims who have suffered:
- Brain injuries. Brain injuries are catastrophic due to their ability to impair critical functions, such as memory, reasoning, speech, and emotional regulation. These injuries can range in severity, but when they are life-altering, they interfere with fundamental aspects of a person’s identity and abilities. A traumatic brain injury might result in cognitive deficits, mood disorders, or a complete inability to perform daily tasks. Long-term treatment often involves therapy to rebuild lost skills and manage symptoms, adding emotional and financial strain to those affected.
- Burn injuries. Burn injuries reach catastrophic levels when they involve extensive damage to large parts of the body, deep tissue, or vital functions. These injuries not only cause intense physical pain but also severely affect the skin's ability to regulate body temperature and protect against infections. Severe burns may require surgeries, skin grafts, and intensive care to address complications, including organ damage or loss of limb function. Additionally, the psychological toll can significantly affect an individual’s recovery and quality of life.
- Spinal cord injuries. Spinal cord injuries are catastrophic because they can lead to partial or complete paralysis, depending on the location and severity of the damage. These injuries interrupt communication between the brain and the rest of the body, which impairs sensation, motor control, and essential bodily functions. Individuals with spinal cord injuries often face challenges like loss of movement, chronic pain, and difficulties with bladder or bowel control. The impacts can reshape their daily lives, personal relationships, and earning potential.
Many catastrophic injuries are the result of negligence. When you suffer serious injuries because of another party’s negligence, you may have the right to bring a personal injury lawsuit and seek compensation for damages. If you sustained a life-altering harm because of a car accident, aviation accident, bus accident, train accident, motorcycle accident, pedestrian accident, slip and fall, construction accident, industrial accident, or defective product, do not wait to discuss your rights and options with our Seattle catastrophic injury attorneys.
Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries
Seattle’s rapid growth and busy transport corridors raise the risk of accidents causing catastrophic injuries. Construction projects near South Lake Union or at expanding airports have seen serious workplace incidents involving heavy machinery and high scaffolding. Commercial vehicle crashes, pedestrian injuries, and falls from heights are frequent across Seattle neighborhoods and its surrounding areas.
The following factors often put individuals at greater risk in our region:
- Busy traffic corridors: Accidents commonly occur on highways, bridges, and busy surface roads, especially where construction or congestion creates changing road conditions.
- Weather-related hazards: Periods of rain and occasional ice create slippery surfaces and can lead to falls and collisions.
- Diverse workforce: Many Spanish-speaking and immigrant workers hold hazardous jobs and may encounter language barriers that hamper communication and safety.
- Active industrial areas: Areas near ports, factories, and distribution hubs see more incidents involving equipment or hazardous materials.
Understanding these local factors allows our team to address the unique challenges faced by clients in and around Seattle and King County.

Choose Seasoned Trial Attorneys with a Track Record of Success
When deciding who to represent you in your catastrophic injury claim, it is important to choose an attorney who has a proven track record of results at trial. An insurance company can easily research your attorney, and if they don’t have a strong record at trial, the company has much less incentive to make a fair settlement offer.
Our law firm has more than 30 years of experience representing seriously injured accident victims. We have well-honed trial skills as well as vast legal knowledge. Our team can investigate all aspects of a case and work tenaciously to get the maximum value each case demands.
Our lawyers have successfully litigated cases all the way to the Washington State Supreme Court. We have also secured several multi-million-dollar settlements for catastrophically injured clients.
