Client Reviews

★★★★★
"After a surgical error left me with complications, I turned to Bernard Law Group. They explained everything in plain English, gathered the medical evidence, and fought for a real recovery. I'm grateful."
★★★★☆
"I slipped in a supermarket and broke my wrist. The store's insurance tried to lowball me right away. Bernard Law Group countered with real documentation and we settled for three times the initial offer."

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bernard Law Group take cases on contingency?
Yes. All personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fees unless the firm obtains a settlement or verdict in your favor.
How long does a personal injury claim take in Washington?
Most car accident claims settle within 6–18 months. Medical malpractice and complex injury cases can take 2–3 years, particularly if litigation is required. Bernard Law Group keeps clients informed throughout.
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Seattle?
Call 911, seek medical attention even if you feel fine, document the scene with photos, get witness contact information, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the other party's insurer until you've spoken with an attorney.
How is medical malpractice proven in Washington?
You must establish that the healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care and that deviation directly caused your injury. Expert medical testimony is typically required. Bernard Law Group works with medical experts to build these cases.
