Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do if I Was Injured While Working for a Contractor or Subcontractor?

If your injury involved multiple companies at a job site — for example, general contractors, subcontractors, or equipment providers — you may have a third-party claim in addition to workers’ compensation. These civil lawsuits can provide full compensation for pain and suffering, lost earning capacity, and future medical care.

Bishop Legal has extensive experience litigating workplace injury cases and has secured record results for clients, including a $25 million settlement for an injured construction worker.

Can I Sue the Port of Seattle or Another Government Entity for My Injuries?

Yes — but government claims follow strict notice deadlines and special procedures. In Washington, a claim against a city, county, or state agency must be filed at least 60 days before a lawsuit can begin. Our attorneys have extensive experience suing government entities, including record verdicts and settlements against the Port of Seattle.

How Long Does a Catastrophic Injury Case Take?

High-value injury cases often take one to three years, depending on medical recovery and whether the defendant disputes liability. Because these cases are almost always litigated, Bishop Legal prepares for trial from day one to ensure leverage during negotiations and readiness if a jury trial becomes necessary.

How Is Compensation Calculated in Serious Injury Cases?

Compensation includes both economic damages (medical costs, lost wages, future care, loss of earning potential) and non-economic damages (pain, suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life). In catastrophic injury cases, we work with medical, vocational, and economic experts to project long-term needs and prove the full value of a client’s losses.

What Does It Cost to Hire Bishop Legal?

There are no upfront costs or hourly fees. We work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you owe nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, and we advance all case expenses, including expert and investigation costs.
