Whatever the cause, we’re on the case.

Although traffic accidents account for a significant number of personal injury cases, there are many other incidents of negligence that require specialized knowledge and experience. Nursing homes, defective products, dangerous workplaces and even experienced healthcare practitioners can all subject people to unnecessary injury.

Brain Injury

The brain is an extremely complex organ that is just beginning to be understood by modern medicine. This makes brain injuries difficult for experts to diagnose and even more difficult for the average juror to understand. A brain injury case requires special knowledge and expertise to be able to prove and illustrate the injury in a manner that gets the case resolved.

Construction Site Injuries

Injuries that occur on a construction site cannot be treated like ordinary negligence cases. There are many specific rules that apply to construction site cases, and GLP attorneys have successfully utilized them to achieve many seven figure recoveries for their clients.

Aviation Accidents

GLP has handled and resolved large cases involving airplane crashes. These cases often present unique challenges in determining what went wrong and who was at fault. Our attorneys (including one licensed helicopter pilot) have the legal and technical experience to investigate aviation incidents and get results.

Highway Design

Some motor vehicle accidents are not caused by the drivers themselves, but because of unsafe highways and roadways. These cases require detailed investigation and the use of specific highway experts to hold the responsible party accountable.

Maritime Injuries

Injuries that occur on vessels the high seas are governed by maritime law, (also known as admiralty law). There are specific rules and laws regarding these cases. GLP attorneys have been handling and resolving these cases for decades, and have the experience to assess, handle, and prosecute them to successful completion.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases demand careful analysis and specialized experience. These cases are usually technically and medically complex, and require a law firm to invest significant money to secure a fair resolution.

Most recently, in 2011, Graham Lundberg Peschel secured a $1.9 million policy limit settlement for a client against a Sono Bello plastic surgeon whose negligence in monitoring the use of lidocain resulted in the death of his patient.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Washington State is at the forefront in protecting the elderly. The Vulnerable Adult Statute (VAS) is a very powerful law that protects the elderly who have been neglected or abused in nursing homes, by allowing for the recovery of attorney’s fees if abuse or neglect is proven.

GLP has the largest reported settlement in the state’s history, securing $3.5 million for a 97-year-old man who died after his genitalia fell off at the Everett Rehabilitation and Care Center.

Premise Liability

The owner of a property is legally obligated to keep it reasonably safe for users. The circumstances that surround an injury that happens on a property owner’s premises need to be carefully evaluated to determine who is or is not responsible, and whether or not the hazard was or was not reasonably safe.

GLP attorneys have tried many trip and fall and premises cases to verdict, and have the necessary skills to properly resolve such a case.

Product Liability

Each year, thousands of people are severely injured or killed by defective products that should never have been put into the stream of commerce. Modern Rules of Liability framed by state and federal courts hold manufacturers and sellers of consumer products legally accountable for failing to ensure that the everyday products that our American families use are safe.

Graham Lundberg Peschel has been extremely successful in representing families for injuries caused by defective products including defective baby playpens, bicycles, elevators, worker fall-restraint products and even defective home ladders

Workplace Injury

In Washington State, you cannot sue your employer if you get hurt on the job. You can, however, pursue restitution from other responsible parties, even if the injury occurred while at work. GLP attorneys have handled thousands of on the job injury cases, resulting on compensation that cannot be achieved in the worker’s compensation arena alone.
