Car Accident 60%

These claims all seem so simple - but insurance adjusters are doing whatever they can to save money - at your expense - in every part of the claim. From the vehicle repair to the injury settlement, I'll protect you from their antics.

Motorcycle Accident 10%

The only thing worse than having to heal from injuries from a motorcycle accident is having to deal with an insurance adjuster who discounts your experience. We can help protect you from their actions, and get you some fair compensation.

Spinal Cord Injury 10%

There's nothing more frustrating than suffering a serious injury and listening to an insurance adjuster telling you that you weren't as injured as you say. I can protect you from this and get you a great result.

Trucking Accident 10%

Trucking accident cases are frustrating because they not only usually involve a permanent injury, but also an insurance adjuster that will frustrate you and actively work toward making sure you get as little compensation as possible. I can help.

With my case and my injuries, he advised me on excellent care with different providers that helped me through the process.... I would recommend Steve and Washington's Law Firm to anybody that I know!!!

Best attorney I have ever had

Unfortunately I seem to have a target on my head when it comes to riding in cars so I have met a lot of attorney's. Steve is an amazing attorney. I originally found him working for a lawfirm that was representing my son a case. Then I was in an accident and Steve became my attorney, he left the firm ...and I went with him. My sons case was with a different attorney so his case stayed. Steve is responsive and always has your best interests at heart. Unfortunately I was in another accident years later and my mom suggested a family friend who I went with. In both the institutes of my last case and my sons the attorney's were not helpful. Steve actually helped my seek better medical advice and care with my last case that he wasn't even make money off of because he saw I was struggling in my daily life. He answered my questions when I asked even if he had to say "I don't know, let me check". The other attorney's ignored me. All and all I don't write reviews but Steve was worth letting people know how great he is.

Client

After being in an accident with a 15 year old uninsured driver, I was in need of legal guidance. I was injured in the accident, taken to the hospital, and my vehicle was seriously damaged. I contacted Steve Dashiak; one of the things that I remember most about our consultation was that his main conc...ern was for my health and well-being. I had injuries that resulted in surgery. Steve not only showed that he cared, but he competently dealt with all of the insurance, medical, and legal issues which gave me the opportunity to be able to focus on healing and recovery. I am so grateful to have met and hired Steve Dashiak.
