Karen Koehler Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Seattle

Karen Koehler Bio
My practice is limited to complex high stakes catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases.  I achieved a  $123M verdict against Ride the Ducks in 2019 and a $43M verdict in a motorcycle v. vehicle case in 2022. In 2024, the City of Seattle paid $10M to settle the Black Lives Matter peaceful protester case that I led.   I have obtained numerous 7 and 8 figure results for clients with traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, polytrauma, and for survivors of those who have been killed.  The types of cases range from product liability and medical negligence to highway design, motor vehicle crashes, civil rights and in 2022 I achieved a $3.5M verdict in a civil murder case.  I have  a strong reputation in the legal community and speak around the country for trial lawyer organizations.  I have lived in Seattle since the age of 4, and have 3 children and grandchildren.  The Velvet Hammer Podcast has been in production since 2020 and is now a video podcast.
