Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Spokane
Every injury case is different, and the right strategy depends on how you were hurt, who was responsible, and what the injury will cost you over a lifetime. Here are the case types our Spokane personal injury lawyers handle most often. If you do not see your situation listed, call us anyway; if we cannot help, we will point you toward someone who can.
Car Accidents
Spokane's busiest roads, including I-90, Division Street, and US-395, see serious collisions year round, and winter ice makes them worse. A car accident can leave you with medical bills, a damaged vehicle, and an insurance adjuster pushing you to settle fast. Our Spokane car accident lawyers investigate the crash, document your losses, and negotiate from a position of strength.
Truck Accidents
Commercial truck crashes on the I-90 corridor are rarely simple. Federal safety regulations, driver logs, maintenance records, and multiple insurance policies all come into play, and trucking companies send their own investigators quickly. Our Spokane truck accident attorneys move fast to preserve that evidence and identify every responsible party, from the driver to the carrier to the maintenance contractor.
Wrongful Death
Losing a family member to someone else's negligence is a loss no settlement can undo. Washington law allows certain family members to pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the loss of love and companionship. Our Spokane wrongful death lawyers handle these cases with the care they require, so your family can focus on each other while we handle the legal fight.
Medical Malpractice
Spokane is the medical hub of the Inland Northwest, anchored by Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and MultiCare Deaconess Hospital. Most care is excellent, but when a provider falls below the accepted standard and a patient is harmed, the consequences can be permanent. Medical malpractice is a core focus of our firm. These cases demand expert review and significant resources, and we bring both. Timing matters too; Washington generally allows three years from the negligent act, or one year from discovery, to file.
Employment Law
Rossman Law Group also represents Spokane workers who have been wronged on the job. The Washington Law Against Discrimination protects employees from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, and it is one of the stronger state employment laws in the country. If you were wrongfully terminated or mistreated at work, our Spokane employment law attorneys can explain your options.
Catastrophic and Serious Injuries
Brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and severe burns change every part of a person's life. These cases require careful planning for lifetime medical care, lost earning capacity, and home modifications. We work with medical and economic experts to make sure the full cost of a catastrophic injury is counted, not just the first year of bills.
Washington Injury Laws You Should Know
A few Washington rules shape almost every Spokane injury case:
Pure comparative negligence. Under RCW 4.22.005, you can recover compensation even if you were partly at fault. Your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. If you were 20 percent responsible, you can still recover 80 percent of your damages.
Three year filing deadline. Most Washington personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the injury under RCW 4.16.080. Waiting costs you leverage, and missing the deadline usually ends your claim entirely.
Medical malpractice timing. Malpractice claims follow their own rule under RCW 4.16.350, generally three years from the act or one year from the date the injury was discovered.
These rules have exceptions, and insurance companies know them well. Talking to a Spokane personal injury attorney early protects your rights and preserves evidence while it still exists.
How Our Personal Injury Process Works
Free Case Evaluation
It starts with a conversation. Tell us what happened, and we will give you an honest assessment of your case, your options, and what a fair recovery might look like. There is no cost and no obligation, and we will tell you plainly if we think you can resolve the matter without a lawyer.
Investigation and Evidence
We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, photos, and expert opinions. Where the case calls for it, we bring in accident reconstruction specialists, physicians, and economists to establish exactly what happened and what it will cost you. Strong cases are built on documentation, and we start building yours immediately.
Negotiation With the Insurance Company
We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, then present the insurer with evidence they cannot ignore. Adjusters treat represented claimants differently, and our demand packages reflect the full value of your losses.
Trial When Necessary
Most cases settle, but some insurers will not pay fair value until a jury is in the room. Our attorneys are trial lawyers, and we are prepared to try your case in Spokane County Superior Court when that is what justice requires.
Compensation You Can Pursue
Damages in a Washington injury case generally fall into two categories. Economic damages cover measurable losses, including current and future medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and property damage. Non-economic damages compensate for the human cost, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In fatal cases, wrongful death damages can include funeral costs and the loss of a loved one's support and companionship. We document every category, because compensation you never ask for is compensation you never receive.

Spokane Personal Injury FAQs
How hard is it to win a personal injury lawsuit?
Most injury claims never reach a courtroom; they resolve through settlement. Winning depends on proving negligence, connecting it to your injuries, and documenting your damages. Cases with clear evidence and prompt medical care are far easier to win, and injured people with lawyers consistently recover more than those who negotiate alone.
What percentage do most personal injury lawyers take?
Most personal injury lawyers, including our firm, work on contingency fees that typically range from about 33 to 40 percent of the recovery, depending on whether the case settles or goes to trial. You pay nothing up front, and if there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee.
What should you not say to a personal injury lawyer?
Never exaggerate, guess, or hide facts from your own lawyer. Attorney client conversations are confidential, and surprises are what damage cases. Be cautious with everyone else: do not admit fault at the scene, do not speculate about your injuries, and do not give a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster before speaking with an attorney.
How much will I get from a $50,000 settlement?
It depends on your fee agreement and case costs. With a typical one third contingency fee, roughly $16,500 goes to attorney fees, and case costs and medical liens are paid from the remainder. Many clients in that situation take home somewhere between $25,000 and $30,000. A good attorney will also negotiate medical liens down to increase your net recovery.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Washington?
Generally three years from the date of injury under RCW 4.16.080. Medical malpractice claims follow RCW 4.16.350, and claims against government entities involve extra steps and shorter practical timelines. The safest move is to talk with a lawyer well before any deadline approaches.
