Our office handles cases throughout Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon, and Idaho with physical offices in Hermiston, Oregon, Walla Walla, Washington, and Pullman, Washington.
A car accident can happen in seconds.
One moment you’re driving through Spokane, the next you hear the crunch of metal and feel the impact.
Now you’re dealing with injuries, insurance companies calling, medical bills, and you’re not sure what to do next.
Can you trust the insurance adjuster? Should you accept their offer? How will you pay for treatment while you’re unable to work?
At Hess Injury Law, we help Spokane accident victims navigate these exact questions every day. We’re based in Hermiston, Oregon, but we represent clients throughout Eastern Washington, including Spokane and the surrounding areas.
Insurance companies have one goal: pay you as little as possible.
They’ll call you right after the accident. They’ll seem friendly. They’ll make an offer that sounds reasonable.
But here’s what they won’t tell you:
Having an experienced personal injury attorney levels the playing field. We know the tactics insurance companies use, and we know how to fight back.
Our firm focuses exclusively on vehicle accident cases in Eastern Washington:
From fender-benders on Division Street to serious collisions on I-90, car accidents are the most common personal injury cases we handle. Whether it’s a rear-end collision, side-impact crash, or head-on accident, we’ll investigate what happened and hold the at-fault driver accountable.
Commercial trucks are everywhere on Spokane’s highways. When an 80,000-pound semi collides with your passenger vehicle, the results are often catastrophic. Truck accident cases are more complex than car accidents—they involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and trucking companies with teams of lawyers protecting their interests.
Motorcyclists face unique dangers on Washington roads. Even minor motorcycle accidents can result in serious injuries. If you’ve been hurt while riding, we’ll make sure you’re not blamed unfairly and that you receive full compensation for your injuries.
Every case is different, but accident victims in Washington may be entitled to compensation for:
Washington follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule. This means even if you’re partially at fault, you can still recover damages—though your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Washington requires drivers to carry:
These minimums are woefully inadequate for serious accidents. A single night in the hospital can exceed $25,000. This is why underinsured motorist coverage is so important—and why understanding all available insurance policies is critical to your recovery.
Most personal injury attorneys are paid only if the settlement comes through, so finances should never be a factor when looking for advice on your injury case. Some personal injury attorneys, like Hess Injury Law, will even help with answering questions regarding case value and negotiation tactics, so that you can handle a case on your own.
In short, you are always better off talking with a personal injury attorney—even if you don’t hire one—and the earlier you call after a crash, the better. The consultation is free and the information you learn can be crucial in moving forward.
This question really comes down to:
For most, the decision is clear. If you’ve been seriously injured, we firmly believe you will do better with an attorney (even after fees and costs) than you can do on your own.
The benefits of having someone to guide you through this are invaluable:
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating.
No lawsuit can bring them back. But holding the responsible party accountable can provide your family with financial security and a measure of justice during an impossible time.
In Washington, wrongful death claims allow surviving family members to seek compensation for:
Our wrongful death attorneys handle these sensitive cases with the care and compassion your family deserves.
If you’ve been in an accident, take these steps immediately:
This depends on your injuries, medical treatment, lost wages, and how the accident has affected your life. Insurance companies will lowball you. We’ll fight for the full value of your claim.
Some cases settle in a few months. Others take longer, especially if your injuries require ongoing treatment or if liability is disputed. We won’t rush your case just to close it quickly.
We work on contingency. You pay nothing unless we win your case. The consultation is completely free.
You can still recover damages in Washington, even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re not automatically barred from recovery.
We Focus on Vehicle Accidents: We don’t handle every type of case. We focus on what we do best—helping vehicle accident victims get the compensation they deserve.
We’re Accessible: While we’re based in Hermiston, Oregon, we regularly represent clients throughout Eastern Washington, including Spokane. We’re available when you need us.
No Win, No Fee: You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. No upfront costs. No hidden fees.
We Fight for Maximum Compensation: Insurance companies know we’re willing to take cases to trial if they won’t make fair offers. This gets results.
Personal Attention: You’re not a case number. You’ll work directly with experienced attorneys who care about your recovery.
While our main office is in Hermiston, Oregon, we proudly serve accident victims throughout Eastern Washington, including:
