Representing real people harmed by insurance companies and others.
I represent people and small businesses harmed by insurance companies and other wrongdoers. That’s it. There is, of course, more to my story.
Once I moved to Seattle, my work concentrated on insurance bad faith litigation, especially under commercial property, homeowners, and CGL policies. I also continued handling various civil litigation matters, ranging from construction defect litigation to toxic tort cases (pollution, asbestos).
After too long on the wrong side, trying different firms, and practicing in two states, I changed sides and started liking being a lawyer. Now, I apply my years of insurance coverage and litigation experience in service of real people harmed by insurance companies and others. I focus on a small number of compelling cases, including insurance bad faith, medical negligence, employment discrimination, personal injury, and consumer protection matters, in order to give my clients the best service.
If you would like more information about my practice, please take a moment to look around my website, and you are always welcome to contact me.

I met Jason through the Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming. I spent many hours in advocacy classes with Jason and had an opportunity to observe him on his feet. It was apparent to me that he is a highly skilled advocate for his clients. I endorse Jason!

I highly recommend Jason Skuda because he has such a huge heart coupled with an excellent knowledge base when it comes to personal injury cases. I attended Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College with Jason Skuda and was so impressed by his skills and ability to reach people. If I or a family member or friend were involved in a personal injury case, I would want to hire Jason Skuda.
