    Our private , small neighborhood was under attack by a malicious and unwarranted lawsuit. We hired Pat Fannin to represent all of us and to settle this case without loosing any of our rights. Mr. Fannin did an outstanding job prioritizing our needs and getting us exactly what we needed. He is extremely personal, prompt and knowledgeable. We can now rest easy in our fabulous neighborhood.

    Pat is the best! Knowledgeable, caring, honest and goes above and beyond to help his clients. At the time I came in, I was like a zombie who thought her life was over due to a car accident. I reached out to other attorneys until my friend recommended Pat. Other attorneys didn’t even meet me, they had some assistant fill out a basic form. Pat sat down with me, had compassion for my injury, and walked me through every step. It was his knowledge and guidance that sent me down the path of recovery where I am once again a functional adult with no debt from my accident. Highly recommend!!! / Ted Smith

    Personal Injury Attorney Taking Care of the Details

    When you're recovering from serious injuries, the last thing you should worry about is navigating complex legal procedures, dealing with aggressive insurance adjusters, or figuring out how to pay mounting medical bills. At Fannin Litigation Group, we handle every detail of your personal injury case so you can focus entirely on your recovery and spending time with your family.

    Our comprehensive approach begins with a thorough investigation of your accident to identify all responsible parties and gather evidence that supports your claim. We work with medical experts to document the full extent of your injuries, coordinate with economists to calculate your lost earning capacity, and negotiate aggressively with insurance companies to secure fair compensation.

    BUILDING YOUR STRONGEST POSSIBLE CASE

    Every personal injury case is unique, requiring a tailored legal strategy that addresses the specific circumstances of your accident and the particular challenges you face. Our experienced attorney and team understand that successful outcomes depend on meticulous preparation, aggressive advocacy, and the resources necessary to take on well-funded insurance companies and corporate defendants.

    We begin by securing all available evidence including police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, and expert analysis of the accident scene. Our team works with accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals, and economic experts to build comprehensive cases that account for both your current losses and future needs.

    Insurance companies employ teams of adjusters, investigators, and attorneys whose primary goal is minimizing payouts to protect their profits. We level the playing field by providing experienced legal representation that understands insurance company tactics and knows how to counter them effectively. Our attorney and team have successfully recovered millions of dollars for injury victims and their families.

    more about our services

    Personal injury law encompasses a wide range of accident types and injury scenarios, each presenting unique legal challenges that require specialized knowledge and experience. At Fannin Litigation Group, our comprehensive practice covers the full spectrum of personal injury cases, from straightforward slip and fall accidents to complex multi-party litigation involving catastrophic injuries.

    We understand that every injury case involves real people facing real challenges - medical bills that insurance won't cover, lost wages that threaten family financial security, and pain and suffering that affects every aspect of daily life. Our attorney and team approach each case with the empathy and understanding that comes from years of helping injury victims navigate these difficult circumstances.

    Our litigation experience extends far beyond simple settlement negotiations. When insurance companies refuse to offer fair compensation, we're fully prepared to take cases to trial and fight for our clients before judges and juries. This trial readiness often motivates insurance companies to make reasonable settlement offers, but when necessary, our courtroom experience ensures strong advocacy at trial.

    COMPREHENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT

    Managing a personal injury case involves coordinating numerous moving parts including medical treatment, insurance communications, evidence preservation, expert witness preparation, and legal deadlines. Our experienced case management team ensures that nothing falls through the cracks while keeping you informed about important developments in your case.

    We maintain relationships with leading medical providers who specialize in treating accident-related injuries and can provide the expert testimony necessary to prove the full extent of your damages. When necessary, we will assemble a team of experts, including orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, pain management specialists, psychologists, and rehabilitation experts who understand both the medical and legal aspects of injury cases.

    Financial recovery from personal injury cases can be substantial, particularly in cases involving permanent disabilities or long-term care needs. We work with certified life care planners and economic experts to ensure that settlements and verdicts account for your lifetime needs, not just your immediate expenses. This comprehensive approach protects your financial future and ensures you have access to the best possible medical care throughout your recovery.

    At Fannin Litigation Group, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation for your case. We advance all case costs including expert witness fees, court filing fees, and investigation expenses, so you never have to worry about upfront legal costs while you're recovering from your injuries. This arrangement allows everyone to access quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation.

    Washington State generally allows three years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, but certain circumstances can shorten or extend this deadline. For example, claims against government entities may have much shorter notice requirements, while cases involving medical malpractice or defective products may have different time limits. It's crucial to contact an attorney as soon as possible after your accident to ensure all deadlines are met and evidence is preserved.

    Insurance companies often make quick, lowball settlement offers hoping to resolve claims before victims understand the full extent of their injuries and damages. These early offers rarely account for ongoing medical treatment, future complications, lost earning capacity, or the long-term impact of your injuries. Never accept an insurance settlement without first consulting an experienced personal injury attorney who can evaluate whether the offer fairly compensates you for all your losses.

    The value of personal injury cases depends on numerous factors including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your ability to work, the degree of negligence involved, and the available insurance coverage. Our attorney and team provide honest case evaluations based on our extensive experience with similar cases and current evidence. We work to maximize your recovery while setting realistic expectations about potential outcomes. During your free consultation, we'll explain the factors that affect case value and give you our assessment of your claim's potential worth.
