Personal Injury

Scott, Kinney, Fjelstad & Mack, Attorneys at Law

Representing Injured and Disabled People Since 1967

The Seattle law firm of Scott, Kinney, Fjelstad & Mack, Attorneys at Law, has accumulated great experience in personal injury cases over the years. We know that each client is an individual, and needs sound advice applicable to their unique circumstances. We offer a strong attorney-client relationship, where your personal injury attorney, not a paralegal, will listen to your needs and explain your options to you.

We have helped countless clients in our firm, and we understand how serious your case is to you. You need realistic advice and full compensation, not inflated promises. We will have an honest and frank discussion of your case with you, so you can make informed decisions about your medical and financial recovery, and the rest of your life. Contact us today to protect your rights and discuss your options.

Our firm handles all personal injury cases, including those resulting from:

  • Vehicle collisions: including car, truck, motorcycle and bike accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents: including slipping on a broken sidewalk, in a store or on stairs.
  • Construction site accidents: involving falls, scaffolding and trench collapses, defective machinery, electrocution, burns, cranes, manlifts and scissor lifts.
  • Defective products: involving saws, conveyor belts, tires, seatbelts, smoke detectors, manlifts or other machinery.
  • Medical malpractice: including failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, prescription mistakes, surgical errors and birth injuries

Seeking Just Compensation From Negligent Parties

In our daily lives, everyone must act with the standard of care we expect of all citizens in our community. Negligence is the failure to exercise reasonable care. If negligence causes an accident or event that damages you, the law holds the negligent person accountable for his or her actions.

Recovery for your damages is not a bonus to you, as insurance companies and their minions shout to the press. It is fair compensation, meant to return you to your pre-accident health and status. There is no guilt in expecting the negligent defendant to be accountable for the violation of his or her obligations to you. Common damages include:

  • Wage or income loss
  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical expenses
  • Ongoing health care
  • The cost of residential care facilities or in-home nursing care
  • Vocational or physical rehabilitation or therapy
  • Property damage
  • Loss of companionship or consortium
  • Wrongful death
  • Survivor benefits
