Personal injury and wrongful death: Our firm handles accident cases involving death and any type of medical condition such as spinal cord injury, neurological or orthopedic injury, brain injury, and burns. We seek compensation for your pain, suffering, medical bills, rehabilitation, lost wages and disability.

Automobile accidents: We handle collision cases involving autos, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, crosswalks, train crossings, highway design and parking lots. We stand up to insurance adjusters who want to seriously undercut your claim to protect their company's bottom line.

Construction site accidents: A construction worker injured on the jobsite will have a worker's compensation claim and, in many situations, a third party claim if the negligence of a general contractor, subcontractor, landowner, equipment manufacturer or supplier contributes to the accident. We can help you maximize the compensation you receive for your injuries.

Workers' compensation: Our Seattle workers' compensation attorneys have spoken at legal education seminars, teaching other attorneys about the nuances of Washington workers' compensation laws and have extensive experience in court and before the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals on behalf of injured workers. We have in-depth knowledge of the Industrial Insurance Act and regulations, and we have dealt with almost every conceivable injury, including brain injury and spinal cord injury.

Short and long term disability insurance: Your insurance company will probably put more effort into finding excuses to deny your claim than it will spend in upholding its promise to compensate you for your loss. We handle disability insurance claims for individual and employer provided policies under ERISA. Contacting an attorney early in the claim process before the final denial is vital to ultimate success.

Social security disability: The Social Security Administration denies most claims. An attorney can help you in the early application process and at a hearing before an administrative law judge.

Discrimination: Although Washington State is an "employment at will" state, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate in terms of employment based on your race, gender, religion, age, marital status or the presence of a disability. If you have been denied employment, terminated, or suffer in a hostile work environment, your rights may have been violated.

Sexual harassment: The attorneys of Scott, Kinney, Fjelstad & Mack, Attorneys at Law can help you find a remedy when sexual harassment, on-the-job discrimination, or a hostile work environment infringes on your employment rights.

Wage and hour violations: If your employer has made you or your coworkers work "off the clock" or has failed to pay overtime, your rights have been violated. Our lawyers can help you recover your lost or unpaid wages.

In addition to these practice areas, we also handle cases involving the violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
