Practice Areas

Personal Injury 30%

As a personal injury lawyer in the Seattle area, I represent those injured in construction accidents, maritime accidents, slip, trip and fall accidents, and other accidents caused by the negligence and reckless acts of others. I also represent those injured as the result of medical malpractice, including failure to diagnose and surgical mishap cases. Sexual abuse cases are handled as delicately as the subject matter of the claim itself.

30%
Car Accident 25%

I represent those injured in a car, truck, bike, or motorcycle accident or those who have had a loved one who has died due to the reckless or negligent acts of another. When a car accident occurs, I thoroughly investigate the accident and often work with accident reconsructionists and other professionals to determine all causes that contributed to the accident and bring a lawsuit against those responsible for causing the accident, including those who may be responsible for road conditions.

25%
Wrongful Death 25%

In wrongful death litigation, we work tirelessly to prove the cases of our clients and to recover for them the full measure of damages for their loss. We know the types of tactics that defendants often use to avoid paying what they owe. They may seek to drag out the litigation process as long as possible, and offer inadequate settlements to “make the matter go away.” They may also try to make the loved ones feel like they will lose their case in court by trying to shift the blame onto the person

25%
Medical Malpractice 20%

As a medical malpractice lawyer, I represent those who have suffered from the negligent act of a medical professional. I work tirelessly to prove your claims and to advance your case with the goal of obtaining fair and just compensation for your injuries. If the defendants do not offer a settlement that is acceptable, I am prepared to go to trial and seek to prove the damages that you or a loved one has sustained.

Review of James Dore jr.

James (Jim) Dore is an excellent malpractice lawyer. He is not only well versed in the law but is also very diligent in his work, Jim researches all documentation of the case, reviews statements of all expert witnesses, and manages his staff effectively to coordinate all the data. Jim Dore is also an... extremely personable individual, during stressful times he would often discuss sporting activities we both active in earlier times. After the close of my case we have remained friends for several years now.
