learn About Our Firm
Greg’s experience as an injured plaintiff gives him a unique perspective among personal injury lawyers.
We will gladly meet you at the hospital, at your home, or at a coffee shop. We believe meeting a client at his or her home helps us fully understand our client’s story.
You’ll have direct communication with our team. We will know every client’s story because we’ll take the time to listen and understand.
We are passionate about ensuring the best possible results for each and every client, no matter the case size.
Sustaining a serious injury puts heavy physical and financial strain on you, especially when dealing with insurance companies alone. Colburn Law is a dedicated Seattle personal injury law firm representing individuals harmed in motor vehicle collisions, dog attacks, premises accidents, and workplace incidents throughout Seattle and King County.
We also provide statewide advocacy for Washington dog bite victims and first responders coping with job-related PTSD.
Tell us what happened, and we will explain your options in plain language. Talk with our team about your injury today.
People call us because our founder knows what it is like to sit on the other side of the desk. Greg Colburn started Colburn Law after a serious injury of his own, and that experience still shapes how the firm treats every client.
Greg Colburn suffered a life-altering injury when he fell from a construction site rooftop due to a subcontractor’s negligence. He spent two years in a wheelchair, underwent multiple complex surgeries, and was turned away by more than 80 attorneys before personally litigating his claim to a successful settlement. He understands firsthand the isolation and uncertainty that injury victims face when communication falls short.
That experience defines our firm’s standard of service. We prioritize clear communication, provide straightforward answers, and explain every step of the insurance process. You should never be left wondering about the status of your case.
We work from offices in downtown Seattle and in Issaquah. If you cannot get to us, we will meet you at your home, in the hospital, or at a coffee shop near you. A lot of our first conversations happen at a kitchen table.
We focus on the injuries that turn a normal week upside down. Each practice area below has its own approach, but the goal is the same: get you the medical care, income, and accountability you need to move forward.
Motor vehicle crashes are the core of our practice. We represent drivers, passengers, people on foot, and cyclists hit by careless drivers on Seattle streets and King County highways.
Our car accident lawyers handle the insurance claims, collect the evidence, and push back when an adjuster blames you for the crash. We also take on semi-truck collisions, where a trucking company and its insurer often move fast to protect themselves.
Dog bite cases are a signature part of our work. Washington holds dog owners responsible for bites in most situations, but the insurance company still has to be convinced to pay a fair amount for scarring, nerve damage, and the fear that follows an attack. We represent children and adults hurt by dog bites and attacks throughout the state.
When you get hurt at work, your claim usually runs through the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) or your employer’s self-insurance program. We help injured workers file claims, respond to denials, and appeal decisions to the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals (BIIA).
If you are unsure whether you need help yet, our guide on when to hire a workers’ comp lawyer walks through the warning signs.
Firefighters, law enforcement officers, and other first responders carry trauma that does not end when the shift does. Washington has specific rules for PTSD claims by first responders, and we represent first responders throughout the state who need those claims filed and fought for correctly.
Property owners have to fix hazards they know about or should have found. We handle premises liability claims for falls on icy walkways, broken stairs, wet floors, and poorly lit parking areas at stores, apartments, and other businesses.
Every injury claim moves through its own system, with different insurers and different paperwork. Here is what our team takes on first in each type of case.
| Type of case | What we take on first | Who we usually deal with |
|---|---|---|
| Car, truck, bike, or pedestrian crash | Police report, photos, witness contacts, and medical records | The at-fault driver’s insurer and your own auto policy |
| Dog bite | Owner identification, animal control report, and injury photos | The owner’s homeowner’s or renter’s insurer |
| Workplace injury | Claim filing and medical documentation | L&I or a self-insured employer |
| First responder PTSD | Treatment records and duty history | L&I or a self-insured public employer |
| Slip and fall | Hazard evidence before it is repaired | The property owner’s liability insurer |
Some injuries cross categories. A delivery driver bitten on a customer’s porch, for example, may have both an L&I claim and a claim against the dog owner, and we look at both from the start.
You get a team that treats your case as a person’s story, not a file number. Here is what that looks like day to day:
Every case depends on its own facts. What we can promise is honest advice and steady work from the first call. If that sounds like the kind of help you need, reach out to Colburn Law and tell us what happened.
Greg Colburn is the founding attorney of Colburn Law. Before representing a single client, he was an injured person trying to get an insurance company to take his claim seriously. That experience is why he built a law practice centered on listening first and standing up for people dealing with life-altering injuries.
Greg tells clients the same thing he needed to hear during his own recovery: you deserve an attorney who believes you and fights for your future. He and his team handle claims of all sizes across Washington State, knowing that the scope of a case does not change how profoundly it impacts an injured person’s life.

Greg Colburn, Josh Weistander, and David Kell all worked diligently on my case. It went to mediation, and despite the defense and mediator pushing for a much-lower settlement and the mediation not ending in an agreement that day, Josh knew he could win and followed up with the defense providing his research of laws to support my case. The defense agreed to the settlement amount I wanted.
The entire team is very compassionate and dedicated to providing the best counsel. I’m extremely satisfied and happy I chose Colburn Law for my case.
This is a law firm who lives out their purpose and their mission. You’ll be in good hands under any of the attorneys here. Greg has the most powerful story as to how and why he became a lawyer.
I cannot be more thankful for Colburn Law. They were honest and communicative throughout the entire process, Tina especially. They helped bring justice to what was a hopeless situation for me.
I would definitely recommend them to ailing family and friends.
Having never been in need of an injury lawyer before, I am incredibly grateful for the professionalism, competence and exceptional compassion Greg Colburn & Team showed me from start to finish. Every question and concern was answered with patience and care, and ultimately a successful resolution was reached putting an end to a long and trying chapter of my life. I am very grateful for the whole team at Colburn Law and highly recommend them.
Shannon, Josh, and other attorneys that have supported my case have been truly brilliant, attentive, and professional. I’m glad I chose Colburn for my case and had the opportunity to work with them!
I have had the pleasure of working with and knowing the staff at Colburn Law for a while now and what stands out most is the consistency of care they bring to every interaction. From start to finish, there is a genuine sense of empathy and compassion that makes you feel supported, not just represented.
Their legal knowledge is incredibly strong, and they communicate it in a way that is clear, confident, and reassuring. Paired with their professionalism and attention to detail, the entire experience feels seamless and thoughtful. It is rare to find a firm that balances expertise and humanity this well. I cannot recommend them enough!
Colburn Law was an exceptional advocate for our family during one of the most difficult times in our lives. After our son was injured in a hit-and-run accident, their team stepped in with compassion, professionalism, and a clear commitment to helping us find justice. They guided us through every step of the process, kept us informed, and always made us feel supported and heard.
Thanks to their hard work and expertise, we were able to secure a settlement that will greatly help with our son’s recovery and future needs. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and highly recommend Colburn Law to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney who truly goes above and beyond.
I whole-heartedly recommend Greg Colburn and the Colburn Law Group. I don’t know that I could recommend them more. If you need an attorney, use this law firm. Period. I wouldn’t wish the need for a lawyer on anyone because that usually means that something bad has happened; but, if you need one, get the best. Colburn Law is the best.
Greg understands what it is to experience the sudden, shocking, and lasting impact of a catastrophic injury. One day some time ago, I woke up and went about my normal routine, with no way of knowing everything was about to change. A few hours later, everything had changed, nothing was normal, and I knew it never would be again. There is a clear delineation of before and after with life-changing injuries, and I will feel aspects of that line forever. If that has happened to you, you need someone who understands what that is. And Greg does, and so does his law firm…

Our day-to-day work is centered on Seattle and King County, including Bellevue and Issaquah. Lawsuits from this area are generally filed in King County Superior Court, and workplace claims move through L&I and, when there is a dispute, the BIIA.
Dog bite claims and first responder PTSD claims are different. We take those cases throughout Washington State, so you can work with us even if the attack or the claim happened far from Seattle.
Your health comes first, so get medical care and follow your doctor’s advice. After that, a few simple steps protect your claim: keep copies of medical records and bills, take photos of your injuries and the scene, and write down what happened while you remember it clearly.
Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other side’s insurance company or signing anything before you talk with a lawyer. Stay off social media about the injury. If you are not sure what to do next, call us. We can walk you through it, even before you decide to hire a lawyer. A short note on your phone about pain and missed work each day can help later.
When someone dies because of another person’s carelessness, the family can bring a wrongful death claim. We represent families after fatal car crashes, truck crashes, pedestrian deaths, and other preventable losses across the Seattle area.
In Washington, a wrongful death claim is usually brought by the personal representative of the person’s estate on behalf of the family. It can cover funeral costs, lost financial support, and the loss of a loved one’s companionship. We handle the legal steps with care and keep the family informed, so you can focus on grieving and supporting each other. Washington law sets out which family members can benefit, and we explain that clearly.
Not knowing what is happening with your case is one of the most stressful parts of a claim. We make communication a priority from the first call, and we explain what each stage means in plain language.
You will have direct contact with the people working on your case, not a call center. We let you know when records come in, when we send a demand, and when an offer arrives. If you have a question, you can call or email us and expect an answer, not a runaround. We also tell you plainly when there is nothing new to report, so you are never left guessing.
Falls on icy walkways, broken stairs, and slippery store floors can cause serious injuries. Property owners in Washington must address hazards they know about or should have found, and we hold them to that standard when they fail.
Property owners often repair a hazard soon after someone gets hurt. Take photos of the spot right away if you can, and get the names of anyone who saw what happened. We request incident reports and video, and we move quickly so the evidence is still there when your claim is built. Footwear, weather, and lighting details from that day can matter too.
Colburn Law handles injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. Your first consultation is free, and we explain the fee terms in writing before you agree to anything.
Most personal injury lawsuits in Washington must be filed within three years of the injury under RCW 4.16.080. Exceptions can shorten or extend that time, such as claims involving children or claims against a government agency, which require a written notice of claim before a lawsuit can be filed.
Washington uses a pure comparative fault rule under RCW 4.22.005, so being partly at fault reduces your compensation by your share of the blame but does not bar recovery. An insurer may try to inflate your share, which is one reason to have a lawyer review the facts.
An injured worker in Washington can often pursue both when someone other than the employer caused the injury. A delivery driver hit by a careless motorist, for example, may have an L&I claim and a separate claim against the at-fault driver, and the two claims affect each other, so they need to be handled together.
Colburn Law takes injury cases across King County, including Bellevue and Issaquah, and handles dog bite and first responder PTSD claims anywhere in Washington. If you are not sure whether your case fits, a short call with our team will answer that question.
