If You Have Been Wronged, We Can Help

Employment Law

Regardless of the level of education or training you have achieved, the salary you earn, or the industry in which you work, you could be the victim of an employment law violation. Whether it was the result of an intentional act on the part of your employer or a failure to understand the law, you can hold your employer accountable for discrimination, harassment, wage theft, wrongful termination, or retaliation with the help of an employee rights lawyer.

At The Blankenship Law firm, we put three decades of experience and historic verdicts to work to help you get justice when you have been wronged by an employer. We want to hear your story. If you think you have an employment law case, contact us to speak to a member of our team.

Class Actions

When multiple people have suffered similar harm at the hands of the same defendant, they may bring a single legal action against the wrongdoer in a class action. When the case involves the violation of employment law in the Pacific Northwest, attorney Scott Blankenship and his team can help.

With many successful class action lawsuits under his belt, Scott knows when a group of individuals has a case, and he and his team know how to win them. If you have been cheated out of wages, discriminated against, or harassed by an employer, and you know there are more victims like you, contact The Blankenship Law Firm for help.

Catastrophic Accidents and Injuries

A catastrophic injury is one that requires hospitalization, surgery, and rehabilitation and, in many cases, causes permanent disability. When you are seriously injured in an accident that was caused by another party's negligence, you may be able to hold them accountable through a personal injury claim or lawsuit. However, you will want the help of an attorney who is experienced in securing high-value awards.

At The Blankenship Law Firm, we are committed to helping clients who have been seriously hurt access the significant resources they will need to recover. Our team champions victims and takes on the insurance companies representing negligent parties to hold them accountable. Contact our Seattle office if you or a loved one has suffered catastrophic injuries in an accident.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Elderly and disabled people who live in nursing homes are highly vulnerable to mistreatment. They are often targeted because they can't speak out or can be easily threatened with worse treatment if they tell anyone. If you suspect that a nursing home resident is being abused or neglected, find out what their rights are by talking to a skilled personal injury lawyer.

At The Blankenship Law Firm, we fight for people in our community who have been wronged by others. Staff members who abuse or neglect nursing home residents should not only be held criminally liable but they—and their employer—should also be made to compensate the victim for what they have lost. Contact us with questions about liability in nursing home abuse and neglect cases.

Sexual Abuse and Sexual Assault

Victims of sexual abuse and assault suffer devastating emotional and physical effects for years afterward. Even if the abuser has been criminally prosecuted, victims can be left feeling like justice has not been served. As victims’ rights attorneys in Washington, it is our goal to hold abusers financially responsible for the harm they have caused.

If you have been sexually assaulted or suffered sexual abuse as a child, you can take civil action against your attacker to hold them accountable now. These claims can be very difficult for victims to take on, but we treat our clients with the utmost compassion as we aggressively fight for justice. Contact our firm in Seattle for a discreet, private consultation.

Civil Rights

Your right to just treatment by law enforcement officers is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. When these rights are violated, and you suffer harm, it may be possible to take civil action against the officer who harmed you and the agency that employs them. These are difficult cases to pursue, but a skilled personal injury lawyer can make a world of difference.

If you were physically, emotionally, or financially harmed—or a loved one was killed—by police misconduct, contact our Seattle law office to learn about your options for a potential recovery. We will be candid about your chances of success and help you make the best decision for you and your family.
