Free Case Evaluation

What's CoveredCases We Evaluate at No Charge

Rob Lloyd and Tim Greene personally handle evaluations across the full range of personal injury cases. The types of incidents we see most often from Puyallup and Pierce County residents include:

• Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents — including crashes on Meridian Ave and Hwy 512, hit-and-runs, and commercial vehicle wrecks.
• Rideshare collisions — Uber and Lyft accidents involve layered insurance coverage that changes depending on the driver's status at the time of the crash.
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI) — from any kind of accident; TBI symptoms can be subtle and delayed, making early evaluation important.
• Wrongful death — when a family has lost someone due to another party's negligence.
• Slip and fall and premises liability — injuries on someone else's property.
• Defective products, construction injuries, dog bites, and other personal injury matters.

If your situation isn't on this list, call anyway. The evaluation costs nothing, and the worst outcome is that we tell you your situation is something you can handle on your own.

What HappensWhat a Free Case Evaluation Actually Looks Like

We know "free consultation" can feel like a sales call in disguise. This is how ours actually works:

1. You reach us by phone or request a callback — available 24/7, so you don't have to wait for business hours after an accident.
2. We listen to what happened — the incident, your injuries, the medical care you received, and any contact you've had with insurance companies.
3. We ask a few focused questions — about witnesses, documentation, and the timeline of events.
4. We give you a candid assessment — whether we think you have a viable claim, what the legal process would look like, and what evidence matters right now.
5. You decide what to do next — with no pressure from us. If we take your case, we explain the representation terms. If we don't think legal representation adds value for your situation, we tell you that plainly.

If you'd prefer to meet in person, our South Hill office on South Meridian is a short drive from Good Samaritan Hospital and the surrounding Puyallup area.

TimingWhy Washington's Deadline Makes the Evaluation Time-Sensitive

The legal deadline isn't usually what creates urgency — it's everything that disappears before it arrives.

The other timing consideration is insurance. Adjusters often contact accident victims quickly after an incident with settlement offers designed to close the claim before the full extent of injuries is known. Signing a release — even for a seemingly fair amount — is typically permanent. An evaluation before you sign anything is the single most useful thing you can do.

Be HonestWhen You May Not Need a Full Legal Claim

A minor fender-bender with no injury, clear fault, and an insurer who has already offered a fair repair — that situation often doesn't need an attorney, and we'll tell you so. If you've already resolved everything to your satisfaction and signed a release, there typically isn't anything to reopen.

Two things are worth knowing before you decide to handle something yourself:

What to BringCome Prepared — or Don't Worry About It

Having documentation ready helps, but don't let the absence of paperwork stop you from calling. We can work with whatever you have at the time of the evaluation. If you do have any of the following, bring or have them ready:

• Any police report, incident report, or animal control report.
• Medical records or bills from treatment received, including at Good Samaritan or any urgent care.
• Photos of the scene, vehicle damage, or your injuries.
• Insurance information for all parties involved.
• Names and contact details for any witnesses.
• Any correspondence from insurance adjusters, including settlement offers.
