Canadians hurt in Washington State.
Washington co-counsel for Canadian lawyers.
When a Canadian is hurt south of the border
Every year, British Columbians and Albertans drive I-5 to Seattle, shop in Bellingham, ski at Mt. Baker and cross the ferries to the San Juans. When a crash or other serious injury happens in Washington, Washington law and Washington deadlines usually govern the claim, and the case is often brought in a Washington court.
Frank Stucki, Esq., MBA is licensed in Washington and works with Canadian lawyers and their clients on Washington injury and institutional-abuse cases.
For BC and Alberta lawyers
Your client trusts you. You keep the relationship; I handle the Washington side.
- Car, motorcycle, pedestrian and commercial-truck crashes on I-5, SR-539, SR-543 and across Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish and King counties
- Ferry, ski-area and recreation injuries
- Institutional and youth-program abuse claims connected to Washington
- Washington filing, discovery and trial work
How co-counsel arrangements work
In Washington, lawyers in different firms may divide a fee when the client agrees in writing, the total fee is reasonable, and the division is either in proportion to the work each lawyer does or each lawyer accepts joint responsibility for the representation. Your own law society's rules also apply to you. We put the arrangement in writing at the start, so everyone, especially the client, knows how it works.
Call or send a short summary. A conflict check comes first; please don't send confidential details until we've spoken.
For Canadian physicians and mental health providers
If a patient of yours was injured, or was abused in a program or institution, in Washington State, they may have questions about their legal options. You are welcome to give them my contact information.
- I don't pay, and I can't pay, anything for referrals. The point is your patient.
- I can work with your patient's treatment schedule and pace. Survivors of trauma and abuse come forward on their own timeline.
- With your patient's written permission, I may ask for records or a report. Your patient decides what's shared.
If a patient is in crisis, in Canada call or text 9-8-8. In the U.S., call or text 988.
For Canadians and families
You don't need to figure out which country's rules apply before you call. Save the police report or collision number, photos, medical records from both sides of the border, and any letters from insurers, including ICBC or your Alberta insurer. Then talk to a lawyer before you sign anything.
A free consultation. No attorney fee unless there is a recovery.
