#seasttlepersonalinjurylawyer #accidentattorneyseattle #bodilyharmattorneyseattleKannin Law Firm - John Kannin - Personal Injury Lawyer. Hello, I'm John Kannin, the attorney. I've been representing clients in their fight against large and powerful organizations and entities, government agencies, government entities, city, state governments, and insurance companies. Insurance companies are one of the most powerful organizations in our society today and if you find yourself in a dispute with an insurance company, you most definitely need to have an attorney on your side. Insurance companies, you could imagine, have many attorneys helping them. The general rule in our state is each side to a legal dispute hires and pays their own attorneys. The insurance companies have hired attorneys to represent them and write their insurance contracts to write letters that their adjusters use to support their negotiations. That's all they do when they try to stop you from recovering money that you're legally, lawfully entitled to when you're injured in a car accident or any other sort of action that where there's insurance at play.. That's where we can help you. When you find yourself in this situation, you most definitely need an attorney. When you are the plaintiff, the person who's wronged or harmed that has suffered a loss, typically your attorney's fees are paid on what's called a contingency fee basis, meaning your attorney's fees is contingent upon recovering money for you. If your attorney recovers money, then he or she will be paid. The more money they recover, the more they're paid. It's capitalism at its finest and there's a profit motive certainly for the attorney to recover for you as much money as possible.. We've been representing injured people for over 20 years. I've represented thousands of people injured in car accidents, work accidents, slip and fall accidents, construction accidents, and without our advocacy, I can say for certain that they wouldn't have been compensated as fairly and as much as with us at their back.You need an attorney here in the state of Washington. Somebody who's experienced and skilled in dealing with insurance companies can advocate for you and make sure that you're fairly compensated for the harms and losses you've suffered. Also for the harms required to be fixed that may be ongoing beyond the time of the settlement. Many people try this themselves, but they often leave value on the table, meaning they don't understand the law, they don't understand even their rights and obligations fully under an insurance contract, let alone how to negotiate with a trained and skilled negotiator who is backed up by an armada of attorneys from an insurance company.. That's why I'm here for you. We're here 24/7, 365 days a year. You can call us at our office number. After hours, the number of goes to one of our cell phones and we'll answer. Usually you'll get a live person and set up an appointment to come and see me at my office. Listening to you talk about your case I can explain to you further what happens and how we can help you.
