Ryan Pauley

Ryan helped me learn about what insurance benefits I had and then helped me recover those benefits for my injury. Here’s what happened. I was in a wreck with a hit and run driver a few years back. My insurance company paid for some of my medical bills but when my PIP benefits ran out it said ther...e was no money left to pay for treatment or anything else. They also didn’t tell me anything about the insurance coverage I had paid for to cover me when an uninsured motorist injures me. Fast forward about 5 years. I meet Ryan in a social setting and I learn about what he does. I explain what happened to me and that I wish the uninsured driver who hit me had insurance to compensate me for everything I went through. Ryan then explained what uninsured motorist (UM or UIM) coverage was and how I had six years to bring a claim under that policy. I sent Ryan my insurance info and turns out I had the benefits. My own insurance company didn’t even tell me this! Ryan then worked tirelessly on my case to help me recover under the policy. He even tracked down a treatment provider out of state to get some critical medical records that were needed to make my claim. In the end Ryan really helped me out. I encourage you to contact him if you need help dealing with a car wreck or your own insurance company.

If you’ve been hurt in an automobile accident and don’t want to hassle with the insurance companies hire Ryan.  Here is why I say that.   I was hit by a drunk driver in my car when I was exiting the freeway.  After the collision, the driver he switched seats with his passenger after the crash, but be...fore the cops arrived.   Once the police arrived they figure it all out and arrested the guy who hit me.   I was taken to the hospital with injuries and the driver was taken to jail.  I hired Ryan shortly after the crash because I wanted to make sure the person who hit me was prosecuted for drunk driving, that my medical bills were paid and that I was compensated for the injuries I sustained.  Ryan helped with all of this.  He was in contact with the King County Prosecutor and ultimately found out that the guy who hit me skipped bail and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.  He made sure my medical bills were paid by my own insurance company which was a huge relief.  Finally when it came time to resolve my case he recovered the maximum available under the at-fault driver’s insurance policy.  He was then also able to recover under my own underinsured motorist policy.   Ryan kept me informed throughout the entire process and always answered my questions quickly.   He never set unrealistic expectations and clearly knows this area of the law.  If you need an attorney to help you with an injury, I’d contact Ryan.  At the very least he will tell you what your options are so you can make an informed decision on how to proceed.

I was involved in a four car collision on I-5 in Seattle while I was on my way to work. I was the last car to get hit and the impact caused an injury to my shoulder which required surgery. To make matters even more difficult the person who hit me was a Canadian citizen and about a year after the C...ollision he passed away (for reasons unrelated to the Collision). Fortunately I hired Ryan to represent me in my injury case. He did a great job talking to my doctors about my shoulder injury and documenting my wage loss. He also made sure that the other issues outside of my control (i.e. that the driver was Canadian) did not affect my injury claim. As my case progressed COVID 19 hit and Ryan made sure the case continued and that any meetings could all take place via Zoom. Eventually we settled the case and Ryan did an excellent job maximizing my recovery. Ryan was easy to work with and I appreciated his communication throughout the 4 years it took to settle. If you’ve been injured in a collision I suggest you give him a call.

I was injured in a collision with a person that pulled out in front of me. The collision caused all sorts of injuries the majority of which was in my neck and shoulder. I saw a number of doctors and eventually saw a medical doctor that was able to pin point the injury to my neck. It was frustrati...ng going to doctors and not getting results, but Ryan was always helpful listening to my concerns and helping me come up with questions to ask the doctors so I could figure out the extent of my injury. When it came time to resolving the case, since Ryan new the value of my injury, he knew exactly what to do to present my case to the two different insurance companies that were involved. When Ryan worked on my case you could tell he was not just committed to it but committed to me and making sure all of my concerns were addressed. We resolved the case short of trial on great terms, and I know Ryan would have been ready to try the case if a reasonable settlement wasn’t presented. He’s an amazing lawyer and I suggest you call him if you’ve injured in a collision.
