Fighting for Injury Victims Across Tacoma and Pierce County

A Tacoma personal injury lawyer helps injured victims recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care after accidents caused by someone else’s negligence.

If you were hurt in Tacoma — whether on I-5, near Tacoma Mall, in the Stadium District, Hilltop, North End, South Tacoma, or the Eastside — you deserve clear answers and strong legal representation.

Insurance companies often attempt to minimize injury claims or offer quick settlements far below what cases are truly worth. At Strong Law, we prepare every case as if it may go to trial. That preparation gives our clients leverage from the very beginning.

With a 98% success rate and 4.9-star reviews from more than 550 clients, Strong Law has earned the trust of injury victims throughout Pierce County.

If you are searching for a Tacoma personal injury lawyer who will take your case seriously, protect your rights, and fight for full compensation, we are ready to help.


Compensation Available in Tacoma Personal Injury Claims

Washington law allows injury victims to recover both economic and non-economic damages when someone else’s negligence causes harm.

Depending on your case, compensation may include:

  • Emergency room and hospital bills

  • Surgery and ongoing medical treatment

  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation

  • Future medical care and long-term treatment

  • Lost wages from missed work

  • Loss of future earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

  • Loss of enjoyment of life

  • Property damage related to the accident

Many injury victims underestimate the long-term impact of their injuries. A Tacoma personal injury attorney at Strong Law evaluates both current and future losses to ensure your claim reflects the full scope of harm.

Washington Laws That Affect Tacoma Injury Claims

Understanding how Washington law works is critical to protecting your case.


Statute of Limitations

Under RCW 4.16.080, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the date of the accident. Missing this deadline can permanently bar recovery.


Pure Comparative Fault

Washington follows a pure comparative fault system under RCW 4.22.005. This means you may still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Your total recovery is reduced only by your percentage of fault.

Insurance companies often attempt to shift blame in order to reduce payouts. An experienced Tacoma personal injury lawyer challenges unfair fault arguments and protects your right to full and fair compensation.


Insurance Company Tactics

After an accident, insurers may:

  • Request recorded statements early

  • Downplay medical treatment

  • Question the severity of injuries

  • Offer fast settlements before long-term effects are known

  • Argue partial fault to reduce payment

Strong Law understands how these tactics work and negotiates from a position of preparation and strength.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Tacoma

While this page focuses on personal injury law broadly, Strong Law represents victims in a wide range of Tacoma accident cases.


Motor Vehicle Accidents

According to data published by the Washington State Department of Transportation, thousands of traffic collisions occur each year across Pierce County and surrounding areas. These crashes range from minor vehicle damage to severe, life-altering injuries.

Whether the crash occurred on I-5, Pacific Avenue, 38th Street, or a neighborhood roadway, motor vehicle accidents can disrupt every aspect of your life.

We handle:

Each type of accident involves unique liability issues, insurance policies, and evidence requirements. Our firm investigates thoroughly to identify all responsible parties and maximize recovery.


Premises Liability and Slip & Fall Accidents

Property owners in Washington have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. When hazardous property conditions cause injury, our Tacoma premises liability lawyers investigate whether negligence contributed to the accident and whether the owner failed to correct known dangers.

Slip and fall accidents frequently occur in grocery stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, office buildings, and parking garages throughout Tacoma and Pierce County. Wet floors, uneven walkways, broken stairs, poor lighting, and unmarked hazards can lead to serious injuries.

A Tacoma slip and fall lawyer evaluates whether the property owner knew — or should have known — about the dangerous condition and failed to act reasonably. These cases often involve gathering maintenance records, surveillance footage, inspection logs, and witness testimony to establish liability.

Even injuries that initially seem minor can develop into long-term medical complications. Prompt investigation is critical to preserving evidence and protecting your claim.


Serious and Catastrophic Injuries

Some injuries permanently alter a person’s life and require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term financial planning. Our Tacoma catastrophic injury lawyers handle complex cases involving life-changing harm and significant future losses.

We represent victims suffering from traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe back and neck trauma, burn injuries, amputation, and other forms of catastrophic orthopedic injury. These cases demand careful evaluation of long-term medical needs, life-care planning, lost earning capacity, and diminished quality of life.

Severe burn injuries often require reconstructive surgery and ongoing rehabilitation. Amputation injuries involve prosthetics, occupational therapy, and long-term support planning. Catastrophic trauma can impact not only the injured individual but their entire family.

When a catastrophic injury results in loss of life, families may seek justice and financial recovery through a Tacoma wrongful death lawyer. These cases require sensitivity, thorough investigation, and a clear understanding of Washington law.

Because catastrophic injury cases often involve substantial insurance policies and disputed liability, preparation and expert testimony are critical. Strong Law works with medical professionals, economic experts, and life-care planners to build comprehensive claims that reflect the true long-term impact of the injury.


Real Client Outcome After an Insurance Lowball Offer

Christine was told by the insurance company that her injuries were worth less than $5,000. They offered her only $3,500.

She knew something wasn’t right.

After Strong Law took her case, we conducted a full review of her injuries, documented the impact on her daily life, and negotiated aggressively. The final settlement was far beyond what the insurer originally claimed her case was worth.

“They told me I wouldn’t even get $5,000… Strong Law was able to get me a settlement way above what I could have imagined.”

Insurance companies often undervalue claims until experienced legal counsel becomes involved. A Tacoma personal injury lawyer levels the playing field.

“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!"
