Walthew Law Firm - Seattle, WA
A Legacy of Justice Since 1935
The Walthew Law Firm is one of the oldest and most respected personal injury and workers' compensation firms in the Pacific Northwest. Established in 1935, the firm has spent nearly a century fighting for the rights of injured people in Washington State. Located in the Belltown neighborhood at 3000 1st Avenue, the firm operates from its own standalone building, a testament to its stability and long-standing presence in the community. Over the decades, Walthew Law Firm has built a reputation for handling complex industrial injury cases that other firms turn away. Their attorneys are known for their deep institutional knowledge of Washington's Workers' Compensation Act, often taking cases all the way to the Supreme Court to establish new rights for workers. Whether you are a longshoreman injured at the port or an office worker suffering from occupational disease, this firm offers the experienced counsel you need.
Comprehensive Injury Representation
The firm specializes in the intersection of workers' compensation and personal injury law, often referred to as ”third-party claims.” This dual focus ensures that clients maximize their recovery from all available sources. Their primary practice areas include:
- Workers' Compensation: Representing injured employees in state L&I claims and federal Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act claims.
- Personal Injury: pursuing compensation for victims of car accidents, construction site negligence, and defective products.
- Third-Party Claims: identifying when a work injury was caused by someone other than the employer (e.g., a delivery driver hit by another motorist) to file a separate lawsuit for pain and suffering.
- Social Security Disability: Guiding clients through the SSDI application and appeals process when their injuries prevent them from working long-term.
Client-Centered Service
Walthew Law Firm prides itself on being accessible to everyone. They offer services in English and Spanish, ensuring that language barriers do not prevent injured workers from understanding their rights. The firm operates on a contingency-fee basis for injury and workers' compensation cases, meaning there are no upfront costs to hire them. Their attorneys are not just litigators; they are compassionate advocates who take the time to listen to your story. If you need to find a lawyer who has seen it all and knows every trick insurance companies use, Walthew Law Firm is the authority. They offer free initial consultations to review your case and provide honest, straightforward advice.
