Aggressive advocacy for personal injury clients and their families in Vancouver, WA
There are few experiences more stressful than dealing with a serious injury. The medical expenses alone are often overwhelming, and the stress of being unable to go back to work can affect an entire family. We believe that when the negligence of others causes you harm, the just response is to hold them accountable for their actions. Our Vancouver, WA personal injury attorneys represent clients in claims involving:
We’ve handled more than 2,000 claims on behalf of the injured in Washington State. We know what it takes to face off against the big corporations with their high-powered legal teams – and we know what it takes to win against them, too. You can count on us to put you first, each and every time.
The number of fatal accidents involving large trucks increased by 49% between 2002 and 2022..
Protecting clients and families after a motor vehicle accident
The last few years have seen a lot of growth in Vancouver, WA, and with growth comes more vehicles on some already heavily-traveled roads. If you have been injured in a crash, our team is here to fight for your rights and your future. We handle all manner of vehicle accidents, including:
- Car accidents. Car crashes are a leading cause of injuries and death in Washington State. Even a so-called “minor” accident can still cause long-term harm to drivers and passengers alike. Speeding, drunk driving, and distracted driving are common causes of serious injuries, but any act of negligence or recklessness behind the wheel can leave you injured. Whether your injuries were the result of a multi-car pile-up, a rear-end collision, a head-on crash, or any dangerous behavior, we can help.
- Truck accidents. This area of Washington sees a lot of big-rigs and commercial vehicles on the roads, which increases the risk of a crash. Certain types of accidents are unique to trucks, like underrides and jackknifes; unfortunately, those accidents are often the root of devastating injuries for multiple people, and that makes them complex cases. We have the resources and skills to assist you after any collision with an 18-wheeler, delivery van, flatbed, or other type of large truck.
- Motorcycle accidents. Riding a motorcycle is one of life’s greatest joys. It’s also a risky endeavor, because motorcycles lack the protections that other types of vehicles provide. And the truth is that drivers often don’t give motorcycle riders the same respect and deference on the road. If you suffered an injury in a motorcycle wreck, you want experienced counsel on your side.
- Pedestrian accidents. There are a number of lovely, walkable neighborhoods in and around Vancouver, WA; the downtown waterfront, the historic district in Camas. But this is a car-centric city, which means the risk of injury can be great, and the types of injuries you can sustain are often severe. Our team has been fighting for better and safer spaces for pedestrians; until we get them, we will be here to help when you are hurt.
- Bicycle accidents. Vancouver, WA has a lot of opportunities for biking. There are paved trails and wooded trails, and our city has installed bike boxes and protected intersections. But the truth is that drivers don’t always behave as though cyclists have the same rights to use public roads. Whether it’s a collision on an open roadway, a “dooring” accident, an intersection crash, or a bike accident involving someone other than a driver, we want to help.

Don’t face off with the insurance companies on your own
People often think that because they pay their insurance premiums on time, that they will be protected if they are hurt in a crash or other collision. They believe that their own insurance company, at least, will work to help them.
But the truth is that insurance companies exist for one reason: to make a profit. They’re not your friend, they’re not your neighbor, and they’re almost never on your side. Even when it’s clear that you are the injured party and have done nothing wrong, there’s a very good chance that the insurer for the at-fault driver will fight to deny your claim.
Our Vancouver, WA trial attorneys are especially adept at forcing insurance companies to “play ball” when it comes to claims. Whether you have been injured while driving your own vehicle, taking an Uber or Lyft, or traveling back-and-forth across state lines, we are ready and willing to fight for you. We can also help if you weren’t in a vehicle at all at the time of the crash.

A criminal conviction, even for a “minor” crime, can have life-long consequences. You could lose your job, your family, your home, and certain rights afforded to you under the Constitution.

The Vancouver criminal defense attorneys of Philbrook Law understand what is on the line for you and your loved ones even before you are charged with anything.
