“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
"Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again."
“Unbelievable work!”
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”

Tacoma Bicycle Accident FAQs
What should I do after a bicycle crash?
Call 911, get medical care, and document the scene. Photograph vehicles, your bike, the roadway, and injuries. Get driver and witness details and avoid recorded statements until you speak with a lawyer.
Who pays my medical bills while the claim is open?
Coverage can come from the at-fault driver’s policy, your health insurance, or PIP/MedPay from your own auto policy if you have it. We coordinate benefits and reimbursement.
Do I have a case if I was not in a bike lane?
Possibly. Washington’s comparative negligence allows recovery even if you are partly at fault. We analyze right-of-way, speed, sightlines, and roadway design to assign fault correctly.
What if it was a hit-and-run or a “dooring” crash?
We look for traffic and storefront cameras and pursue UM/UIM coverage if the driver fled or lacks insurance. Dooring cases often involve failure to check before opening a door into traffic.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Most personal injury claims in Washington must be filed within three years. Some deadlines differ, so contacting an attorney promptly helps preserve evidence and rights.
What compensation can I recover?
Medical expenses, lost wages, bike and gear damage, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering. We build the record with medical documentation and expert support.
