Premier Law Group offers a dedicated, thorough and rewarding experience for their clients. Jonathan Lee was able to examine, interpret and educate me on the options available for my case. Both him and the staff at PLG deserve praise for helping achieve possibly the best outcome for my case and I hope to utilize their services in the future if needed

I sought consult from Premier Law Group after being terminated from my position with no warning. I was able to secure a meeting with Patrick Kang, one of the lawyers at the firm almost immediately. Patrick listened to the events that transpired, asked for clarification whenever it was needed, and then advised me on my options using the basis of the law. He stated he's been consulting on Employee Law for around 20 years. I appreciated his knowledge and strong ability to help me understand my options based upon my situation.

I personally had a case involving a very serious car accident where I was rear ended violently on the I-5 express way a few years back. Kristina went above and beyond in my case and I truly appreciate all the dedication and hard work she provided. Premier Law Group, PLLC stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process as this was the first time I had ever required expert legal counsel. I'm thrilled to know such dedicated professionals exist and most importantly that the lawyers at Premier Law Group, PLLC are of excellent caliber!! Thanks for all you did in terms of assisting me!

Questions & Answers

Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

Absolutely! We take all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you will never pay a penny unless we win your case. If you have any other questions I would be happy to speak with you. Give me a call anytime!

Can you explain what “at fault states” are?

robert gates | Aug 12, 2022
Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

Sure thing. All states have their own individual state laws in regard to auto accidents. Drivers who responsible for an accident in at fault states are liable to cover the damages for everyone involved. Washington is an at-fault state. In at fault states it can be difficult proving what happened without knowing what types of evidence are needed to deem who is at fault, which can make handling insurance claims very challenging for any person who doesn’t have legal experience or know the insurance claims process. For that reason we strongly recommend to people that they seek the guidance of an experience personal injury attorney to handle your claim.

Why are motorcycle accidents and car accidents different?

robert gates | Aug 12, 2022
Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

Generally it is based on the severity of the accident. A motorcyclist has much less protection that someone driving a car, which unfortunately tends to cause much more severe injuries. That’s why having an attorney who has experience working with motorcycle accident victims is so important for your claim. Give me a call anytime and I would be happy to answer any more questions you may have!

I was rear ended and they offered me money to not report it to my insurance company. What should i do?

robert gates | Aug 12, 2022
Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

That is almost always a bad idea. It may seem tempting in the moment, and even seem like you’re doing them a favor, however can be a very costly mistake. There may be more damage to you or your vehicle than you initially think. It’s always the safest choice to call the police and inform your insurance company whenever you’re in an auto accident. This helps to protect you and will also lay the necessary groundwork in case the other driver later on tries to say you were the one at fault, which unfortunately, is very common. If you would like more information give me a call anytime! I would be happy to help.

I’m not sure how personal injury case work and I’m nervous to file my claim, can you help me understand what to do?

robert gates | Aug 12, 2022
Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

Filing a claim can be an overwhelming process, especially while you are still recovering from your injuries following your auto accident. Unfortunately, the adjusters who work for insurance companies will call you more times than not to pressure you into taking a smaller settlement before you even know the total cost of all your medical expenses and treatments. Our mission at PLG will always be to lighten your load so you can focus on one thing: getting the treatment you need so you can recover as fast as possible. Our professional and experienced team has helped hundreds of clients by handling the time-consuming details and minutia, freeing them to focus on recovering. To learn more around how these and other types of cases work, or to answer any questions you may have, give me a call anytime!

why would I sue my own insurance company?

robert gates | Aug 12, 2022
Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

Well, If you were to get injured in an auto accident and lets say the other driver either doesn’t have insurance, doesn’t have enough insurance to be able to cover your costs, or even if you are in a hit-and-run accident. In this case you would file a UM/UIM claim with your own insurance company. UM/UIM refers to uninsured motorist coverage or underinsured motorist coverage. When filing claims with your own insurance company, even though it is your own insurance company who is processing the claim, the adjusters who are working on your claim are not there to help you, they are there to make the company money. If your insurance company is refusing to offer you a fair settlement or denying your claim you can call me anytime! I’ll help to explain your options in more details and help any way I can.

Is there a type of evidence that is the most important for the claim on my auto accident?

robert gates | Aug 12, 2022
Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

Well there are several types of evidence that are all important to gather when bringing forth a claim. However the most important evidence usually is your medical documentation. This is why seeing a doctor for your injuries is so important. The medical notes from your doctor will help corroborate your pain complaints and will help prove that your injuries were caused by your accident, and not from something else. It is also important to make sure that you follow the recommendations and treatment suggestions from your treating provider, and to make sure you follow up in a timely manner. Give me a call anytime if you are unsure of what to do, or if you have any questions! I would be happy to help however I can.

robert gates | Aug 12, 2022
Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

You do yes, it’s called the Statute of Limitations. This is a law that sets a strict deadline for filing your case to recover for any damages.

How much will my case be worth?

robert gates | Aug 12, 2022
Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

This is a difficult question to answer, as there’s no way we can know how much a case is worth immediately. There are many factors that determine the value of a case, such as the extent of your injuries, how long it takes to get you back to how you were before the accident (if at all), total medical expenses, wages lost, and what whether your injuries are permanent. This is why it’s important to have an experienced attorney who knows how the insurance claims process works on your side. We can fight to maximize your claim and get you what you deserve. Give us a call if you have any other questions about your claim!

How soon can i collect for the injuries i got from my car accident?

robert gates | Aug 12, 2022
Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

I would be happy to help!

Should I talk to the insurance company of the other driver?

robert gates | Aug 12, 2022
Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

Without researching how the insurance claims process works or speaking with an attorney, you should never speak to the other party’s insurance company.

We would be happy to help you out with any questions you have about your claim!

What would happen if you hit a pedestrian with your car outside of the crosswalk?

Premier Law Group, PLLC (Owner) | Aug 12, 2022

This is a tough one as it comes down to determining who was truly at fault here. Let's say you were driving and paying attention to your phone instead of the road, then your level of negligence would be much higher compared to if you were fully paying attention to the road and all surroundings when someone crossed the street without using the crosswalk.
