There are several insurance coverages that may come into play in your case: Depending on the facts of your case, you may be making claims under your own insurance policy, making claims against another driver who is covered by insurance, or both. Claims that you make against your own policy are generally referred to as "first party" claims.
I was in an accident where the other driver fled from the scene. A witness got a license plate number, but there were questions as to who was driving the other vehicle. The insurance companies were fighting over who was going to take responsibility - the insurance for the car that fled or my uninsured motorist insurance.
After working at a traditional law firm for 16 years, and after the birth of his daughter Lauren, Sam decided to transform his practice. He is committed to providing the best possible legal representation without all of the trapping of a traditional law firm. Sam and his paralegal Alisha work primarily out of their homes.

I can't sing Sam and his team's praises enough. After suffering from injuries from multiple accidents in a very short time I knew my case would be complicated and I needed to be represented. I am so thankful I chose Sam's firm to represent my case. Sam, James and their team advocated for me and worked diligently with the insurance companies to ensure that I was able to get the medical attention I needed. They went above and beyond to make the whole process feel smooth and take away any stress or anxiety I had about my bills and my case. James managed the majority of my case and lead the arbitration

At every point in this long endeavor, I've been so glad that I worked with Sam Elder and his team. Sam and Keri took such good care of me in my bike collision case. I'm grateful for their support and guidance because it let me focus on the difficult task of healing and finding wellness without the distraction and stress of handling growing stacks of paperwork.
Before I was referred to Sam from a friend, I was nervous about having to negotiate with an insurance company and navigate an unfamiliar system. That all changed after my first meeting with Sam and Keri because I knew I was in the hands

Sam and his team went above and beyond expectations when helping me with my case after I was hit by an automobile while using a crosswalk. They ensured everything was taken care of and addressed, doing their best to ensure I was satisfied with the settlement. Simply knowing they were on my side, helping me through the process took a lot of worry off my mind. Highly recommended.

Mr. Elder has vast experience and knowledge of the court dynamics along with insights to the overpowering processes that insurance companies will pitch at you.
He was quick to adjust to the changing landscape in any developments that occurred throughout my case, and was able to leverage situations at certain points in order to accomplish the best result for me. He was very hands on proactive in dealing with all issues in the case.
He did not feel like just a representative on my behalf but a true advocate for my rights and justice.

Sam is the best attorney in the region. He is responsive, knowledgeable, compassionate, acts from integrity and high professionalism and will always do right by you. I really appreciated his honesty and transparency in my situation and for providing education, perspective, and options for me to evaluate my case and make the best decision for me. I trust him and have referred several friends to Sam and his team. I felt Sam went above and beyond not only in providing exceptional service but in making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the process, keeping me informed in a timely manner

When looking for an attorney trust is a huge factor, especially if you have never worked with one before. Sam Elder has one of the most professional approaches to his cases, but even more so he genuinely cares about the people he works with. As soon as I reached out and we had our first conversation, I knew immediately I was going to be in great hands. He is patient, understanding, he listens and he gives you HONEST feedback and advice. Sam is one of those professionals 10 years down the road you could call him up asking for advice and in a heartbeat he would be there for you. These types of people

After calling a few attorneys, I decided to work with Sam Elder on my personal injury case. Sam was honest from the very beginning and let me know what I could expect realistically. He was very patient and walked me through each step, so the whole experience was as painless as it could be. I ended up with much more than what they had initially offered me, even with a percentage paid to Sam. I would definitely recommend Sam for anyone looking for a personal injury attorney.

Sam and his staff are some of the hardest working kindest people you will ever come to know. We me and my brother received the best help starting from the day one. Anythings that we didn't understand was simply explained by Sam and the staff.Everyone was very friendly and did their best at handling our case. They always update us by keeping us informed the status of our case. I highly recommend to any one Sam is the best auto accident attorney in Seattle.

In an ideal world no one would need a personal injury attorney. Unfortunately too many people do not receive the care they need because the insurance companies refuse to pay for needed medical services, and dealing with adjusters is a nightmare. As soon as I hired Sam and his A-team of paralegals I no longer had to deal with what had become a huge stress. He resolved my case in the most favorable way possible, keeping me apprised and made sure I was completely prepared every step of the way. He has an incredibly sharp mind, attention to detail and strong memory. His goals is achieving the best

I worked with Sam over the course of several years after an auto accident. He was honest, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process and I always felt like I was in good hands. He navigated the insurance system on my behalf and achieved the desired result in the end. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.
