Washington’s fault-based insurance system means liability determination shapes almost every part of a car accident claim in Snohomish County, and Wells Trumbull has spent decades building a practice around exactly that process, from calculating damages to negotiating directly with insurance adjusters.
The firm describes itself as a resolution-based law firm, meaning it prioritizes negotiating a fair settlement but keeps litigation on the table when a case doesn’t resolve reasonably outside of court. That dual approach matters under Washington’s comparative negligence rules, which still allow an injured driver to recover compensation even if they share some percentage of fault for the crash, provided the case is built to reflect that properly.
Wells Trumbull reports having recovered millions of dollars for clients over its history, working on a contingency basis so clients pay nothing upfront and the firm only collects a percentage after securing a settlement or jury award. That fee structure lets injured drivers pursue a claim without adding financial pressure on top of medical bills and lost income. The office is located at 106 E Gilman Ave, Arlington, WA 98223, and can be reached at (360) 435-1663.
Snohomish County drivers dealing with a recent collision, whether the fault split is clear-cut or still in dispute, can review the firm’s full approach to these claims at the source below.
