Personal injury
Help after a serious injury in Kitsap County
A serious injury changes more than your health. Medical bills arrive before you know what is covered, you may be missing work, and an insurance adjuster keeps calling with questions you are not sure how to answer. When someone else's carelessness caused it, frustration and anger are a normal part of the picture too.
Kitsap Law Group is a Silverdale firm that represents people hurt in car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian and bicycle collisions, on unsafe property, by defective products and in animal attacks. We explain how the insurance process works, what your claim involves and what choices you have, then take the day-to-day work off your plate.
We are willing to try cases when that is what a claim needs, and we prepare every file with that possibility in mind. That preparation shapes how we investigate, how we document your injuries and how we talk with the other side.

Why local experience matters
Injury claims in Kitsap County often turn on local details: road conditions on Highway 3 in a winter storm, traffic near the Bremerton ferry terminal, or the layout of a busy Silverdale intersection. Our office is in Silverdale and our attorneys practice in the courts that serve this area, so we can visit a scene, find local witnesses and explain the facts in plain terms.
When the injury was caused by a person, a business or a large corporation, we are not hesitant to hold them responsible. Our goal is to help you and your family get the medical care and support you need while we handle the legal work.

Our approach
How we handle an injury claim
Many firms describe themselves as trial lawyers. Our attorneys have spent years in the courtroom as public lawyers and in private practice, at the trial level and on appeal. We use that experience to build each claim as though it may end up in front of a judge or jury, because careful preparation is what gives you real choices later.
Listen and explain
At your free consultation we learn what happened, answer your questions and explain how a claim like yours generally works in Washington.
Investigate
We gather reports, photos, witness accounts and records, and bring in experts when the facts call for them.
Document your losses
We track medical care, lost income and the ways the injury affects daily life, so nothing important is left out.
Deal with the insurers
We handle communication with the insurance companies and keep you informed, so you are not negotiating alone.
Resolve or try the case
We talk through settlement options with you, and when a fair resolution is not offered, we are prepared to go to trial.
Who handles it
Attorneys who handle personal injury
Our personal injury work is led by attorneys whose practices include injury litigation and trials in Washington courts.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer a free consultation for injury cases?
Yes. Personal injury consultations are free. We will listen to what happened, answer your questions and explain your options before you decide anything.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
You can report the basic facts, but be careful about recorded statements or signing anything before you understand your claim. Adjusters work for the insurer. We can handle those conversations for you.
What if I cannot afford the medical care I need?
This is one of the most common worries we hear. We can explain how different insurance coverages may apply to your treatment and help you keep records so your medical needs are part of the claim.
How long do I have to bring an injury claim in Washington?
Washington sets deadlines for injury claims, and some claims, such as those involving public entities, have extra steps. The time limit depends on the facts, so it is wise to talk with us early. An attorney can confirm the deadline for your situation.
Will my case go to trial?
Most injury claims are resolved without a trial, but not all. We prepare every case as though it could be tried, which helps you weigh any offer from a position of knowledge.
What areas do you serve?
Our office is in Silverdale. We represent injured people throughout Kitsap County, including Bremerton, Poulsbo, Port Orchard and Bainbridge Island, and in Jefferson and Mason Counties.
What should I bring to my consultation?
Bring whatever you have: the collision or incident report, photos, insurance letters, medical records or bills, and the names of any witnesses. If you do not have these yet, come anyway. We can help gather them.
