After a serious accident in Redmond, a spinal cord injury changes every aspect of life in an instant. Under Washington law, you have the right to hold the person or company who caused this harm accountable. This means pursuing payment for the full, lifelong impact of the injury.
But there is a wide gap between having that right and securing the resources your family needs to move forward.
After an accident, you’ll have to deal with the at fault party’s insurance company. They have teams of professionals trained to minimize how much they need to pay out. To get fair compensation, you need someone fighting just as adamantly for your interests.
At Narwal Injury Law, we focus on helping people through these moments. If you’re unsure what to do, we provide clear answers and a direct path forward. Call us to talk about what happened, at no cost to you, and speak directly with a Redmond spinal cord injury lawyer.
Our number is (425) 474-2714.
Gurjot Narwal, Redmond Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
Our founding attorney, Gurjot “Gurj” Narwal, spent more than a decade inside government agencies, first as an Assistant State Attorney General and later as an Assistant Seattle City Attorney. He saw firsthand how large organizations handle injury claims. Today, we put that knowledge to work for you, anticipating their strategies and building a case designed for success.
Our firm dedicates itself entirely to personal injury law. This sharp focus allows us to direct all our resources and skills toward helping people with catastrophic injuries, including those to the back and spinal cord.
While no two cases are the same, our method is consistent: detailed preparation and determined advocacy. We represent people harmed in a wide range of accidents, including:
This experience gives us the perspective to uncover every party who may bear responsibility for your injury.
You can find our Redmond office at 7981 168th Avenue NE, Suite 110, Redmond, WA 98052.
We are near the Redmond Town Center and just a short walk from the Downtown Park, making our office convenient and accessible. We know that a serious injury does not operate on a 9-to-5 schedule, which is why we are available to you 24 hours a day.
When you work with us, you get a direct line of communication and personal attention. We build our relationships on trust and clarity from day one.
A personal injury claim is designed to provide the financial stability needed to cover every cost the accident has forced upon your life, today and for all the years to come. Because a spinal cord injury requires a lifetime of care, a legal settlement or verdict is the only way to ensure those needs are fully met.
We organize the compensation we pursue into two main categories.
These are the tangible, documentable expenses that the injury creates. We work with medical and financial experts to build a comprehensive life care plan that projects these costs over your lifetime:
These damages acknowledge the personal ways the injury has altered your life. Though no receipt can quantify them, their impact is undeniable:
Washington uses a “pure comparative negligence” rule. Simply put, your total compensation is reduced by your assigned percentage of fault. If a jury determines you were 10% responsible for the accident, your final financial award is reduced by 10%.
Insurance companies conduct a thorough investigation, looking for any evidence to argue you were partly at fault. Our role is to build a strong case to keep them accountable and ensure no amount of blame is unjustly put on you.
As a technology hub and a growing residential community, Redmond deals with heavy traffic. We see serious collisions at high-volume intersections and on major roads, including:
Any event involving a sudden, traumatic force to the spine could cause a spinal cord injury. Some of the most common causes we see are:
Doctors classify spinal cord injuries by their severity and where on the spine they occur. This information helps predict long-term prognosis and care requirements.
In Washington, you generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This is known as the statute of limitations. For claims against a government body (like the city or state), the deadlines are much shorter and have demanding notice requirements. Missing these deadlines will permanently prevent you from recovering any money.
Remember that insurance carriers are for-profit businesses. Their model requires them to balance paying legitimate claims with protecting their bottom line; that means every dollar they don’t pay out is profit on their balance sheet.
Your lawyer manages all communications with the insurance company for you. We gather the evidence of your injuries and expenses into a clear, comprehensive demand package. Then we handle the negotiations to ensure any offer reflects the true, long-term cost of your injury.
While we manage the legal work, there are things you can do to strengthen your case from home.
Because the stakes are so high, these cases take time. A straightforward case might resolve in a year or two, while a more involved case that goes to trial could take longer. The priority is to wait until your medical prognosis is clear so we can understand the full extent of your future needs before resolving the claim.
In that case, their employer might also be held liable under a legal concept called “respondeat superior.” Simply put, it means an employer is responsible for the actions of an employee on the job. This is an important way to secure compensation, especially if the at-fault person has limited insurance.
Property owners in Washington have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. If a hazardous condition, like a poorly maintained staircase or an unmarked danger, caused a fall that led to your injury, you may have a premises liability claim against the owner.
If you have Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage on your own auto policy, you can make a claim with your own insurer. This is coverage you bought to protect yourself in this exact situation. While Washington law does not force drivers to carry UIM coverage, insurance companies must offer it to you.
You don’t have to have all the answers right now.
Your focus should be on your health and your family. Let us handle the legal process. The first step is a simple conversation to understand what happened and what your options are. We are here to provide that clarity without any pressure or obligation.
