I am a real person who was injured due to a bike accident in Seattle. I was overwhelmed dealing with the medical appointments, bills, and insurance. When I didn't fully understand the auto insurance claim process, Kelli and Lauranne were very patient and kind with me. They explained my best options and helped me along the way. I reached a fair resolution - certainly much better than I could have managed on my own. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any cyclist, as they understand our needs. read more

Riding to work on my bicycle, I was hit by a driver in the U District. The driver's insurance agent contacted me and was aggressive trying to determine how many accidents I've had in the past while asking me no questions about how his client had turned into me. I was advised to get a lawyer with Washington Bike Law. Rocky Glassner was our attorney. She was extremely thorough, communicated well with us and with the other involved party, and negotiated a reasonable and just settlement for me. She, and her staff, especially paralegal Lauranne, supported me through months of physical, occupational, and acupuncture therapies, working with my doctors and insurance companies for bill payments, etc. I would highly recommend Rocky Glassner and Washington Bike Law to any person involved in a bicycle accident. read more

After getting hit by a car that blew a stop sign, Kelli and Bob were super helpful getting me the care that I needed post-concussion. They also did a great job representing me, and obtaining the maximum amount available under law. I strongly recommend them! read more

Great people doing great work! They really helped me with my case after getting hit by a truck. Kelli and Sheri (and Bob and the rest of the team) guided me through the process and made me feel like they had my back. read more

Rob and the team were great. Seven or so months was a long wait, because of all Dr. meetings etc, and they explained the process as we went on. I have a disability and don't drive. That bike was originally worth $10,000, was carbon fiber, and belonged to my brother who passed. They worked hard to get me what that was worth. Not driving and the difficulty getting on a bike again something getting groceries was ten times more difficult. I was hit hard and flew over a car, made my next month terrible because I was nervous getting on a bike. Rob and the others were generous more than once and got me what I deserve. Rob texted, emailed info and called immediately after I had questions or anything. I would suggest Rob to any friends!! read more

Bob is an amazing lawyer and friend. I was scared, overwhelmed and distrusting when I began looking for a lawyer. I had a negative view of what legal entanglement may look like and was in so so much pain. I was hit by a driver who was under insured with an allegedly arguable liability. Where other lawyers were on the fence about my case, Bob was jumping up and down to represent me. He is so thorough and actually cares so much. He is so genuine and kind and spent countless hours explaining things over the phone or email. Anytime ANYTHING came up, a bill not paid, a threat from an insurance company, etc. Bob would spring into action and get it taken care of. This left so much space for me to heal emotionally and physically. Bob had so much pushback when representing me. Questionable liability. Pursuing underinsured motorist protection from my car insurance plan even though I was on my bike when the accident occurred. Navigating a threat to underpay or not pay at all And getting the absolute maximum of my comprehensive protection coverage alloted even despite recently moving states and the insurance trying to abide by my old states laws. He did so much background work on my case, piecing together the complex medical history and dozens of second opinions with so much grace. He navigated subrogation for me, never told me what to do but always offered his advice when I asked for it. It took about a year and a half to resolve the settlement, which he warned me about up front, because I had several surgeries and much recovery to be done. He did not stop fighting until my bills were all taken care of and I had a generous settlement. He and Sheri worked so hard on so many things I can't even put it all into words.. when I had questions about the settlement disbursal, Bob rearranged things because he wanted me to feel I got a better than fair arrangement. He is humble and passionate and compassionate and genuinely makes you feel like a respected and valued person, not just a means to a financial end as a client (which I think many of us fear when we enter into a legal issue and need a lawyer). He has so much experience and is a biker himself with so much history advocating for those of us who get around on two wheels. He genuinely cares. After subrogation, when my insurance tried to slip some unpaid bills past us, he and Sheri reached out right away and took care of it. Seriously when anything ever came up, I just told Bob and Bob would handle it so I could continue healing. He even got me an extra settlement over the emotional distress caused (bad faith claim) by the insurance initially threatening to give nothing or much less than my policy, which was a huge bonus. He gave tons of advice and worked so hard on my questions beyond his official job title and helped me understand more about secondary issues like medical malpractice. When I read the final settlement draft and 80+ page document he comprised from my medical records and statements, it was clear he pays attention and actually really listens and cares. He even went as far as to wire my deposits on his own time with the bank because I have an out of state bank that made cashing the checks difficult. At every turn, Bob and Sheri helped me, educated me, gave advice, and truly helped heal my mind, body and soul by being constantly reliable, compassionate, remembering the details about me and my situations, and by making me feel safe and taken care of and represented so I could just focus on praying and healing and doing the work of surgeries and physical therapy. I could not have asked for a better lawyer after such a life altering, painful situation and I have so many more things I could elaborate on but I'm running out of characters. If he's available, work with Bob. He was definitely born to help people in this way and has the gifts of hard work, integrity and compassion. The best lawyer I could have asked for. And thank you Sheri, too! :) read more

Bob Anderton represented me in a high value bike crash, after which I was disabled and unable to return to work. Although I began our association with a great distrust of PI attorneys in general, over the nearly 3 years it took to arrive at a settlement, Bob and his team at Washington Bike Law were so supportive, warmth, thorough and respectful that my trust and confidence blossomed. Bob explained the law and the process of documenting my injuries to present a coherent narrative to the entities responsible for the crash. This was a complex set of circumstances and it took 3 mediations to arrive at a settlement that I feel is fair, if not generous. I can't recommend Bob highly enough. For me it's not just about the money for my injuries, it's also about the compassion that has helped me heal my heart and soul. read more

Bob was my lawyer for a bike-car crash in which I was injured and that went to arbitration. Bob is excellent for many reasons including the critical fact that he is extremely knowledgable about bike laws. All of his advice was spot on and I was very happy with the outcome. He is also a great person, easily accessible, is well prepared, and has great communication. I highly recommend him and Washington Bike Law without reservation. read more

I truly hope you never need Bob's services...but if you need a lawyer due to a bike accident, you'll be in great hands! Bob was always upbeat, responsive and took time to explain what needed explaining. Ultimately, he achieved a good outcome for my case. Highly recommended. read more

Bob represented me in a complicated case after getting hit on my bike, and I can't say enough about how taken care of he made me feel through the whole grueling process. He is an amazing lawyer (who also bikes to work himself, writes a great bike newsletter, and advocates for improved biking laws), and I feel so lucky to have had him represent me. He did all the hard work of dealing with multiple insurance companies and filing tons of paperwork while I was able to focus on healing. It sucks getting injured, but there is nobody better to get you through it than Bob and Washington Bike Law! read more

Suffering a major injury in a car vs bicycle crash, I thought I could navigate the insurance settlement process on my own. The paperwork and legal jargon quickly became overwhelming and I knew it was time for an expert. From the get-go, Rob and his support team helped me to understand the process, advocated on my behalf, and assumed all communication with insurance carriers and medical providers. A fair settlement was his priority and I highly recommend his expertise to anyone who needs legal representation. read more

There aren't words to explain how awesome the crew here was, especially Jessica. Getting in a terrible bike accident is brutal, but they make it disappear into the background while you heal and they take care of the BS. If ever in the unfortunate situation where you need cycling related help, this is by far the best option. Kudos!! read more

Bob and his team at WA Bike law are professional and can help you navigate insurance battles and beyond if you are unfortunate enough to be in an accident. I really didn't have to worry about anything other than treating my injuries because Bob and his team handled the rest. He's honest and not pushy at all, he wants to do what is in your best interest. Bob was great to work with, I'd highly recommend him. He's also a community volunteer and activist which makes it that much easier to enlist his help! read more

By his own admission he missed a lien...came back to me six months later with his hand out. I am not impressed.

From the very beginning, Rob Levin, one of the lawyers at Washington Bike Law, was comforting and dogged in his work. The entire office took care of me and the massive amounts of red tape the insurance companies tried to stick me with. And in the end, what happened was exactly what was promised at the beginning. Every step was good. read more

These guys are great. I've had conversations with both Bob and John (the main lawyers) and both are super knowledgeable and friendly. It seems like you'd be hard-pressed to find a better firm to represent you if you were unfortunate enough to sustain an injury while riding your bike in this town. Plus, these guys actually ride....a lot. read more

Bob Anderton and his associates at his firm Washington Bike Law were very great at both listening and communicating. They worked diligently for 7 years with me on my hit and run case and ultimately got me a greater settlement than anyone expected. I didn't have to call and settle any old medical bills either. I highly recommend at least discussing your case with Washington Bike Law because they will educate you and point you in the right direction even if you don't decide to use them for representation. I interviewed with many of the Bike law specialists in Puget Sound before ultimately choosing Bob Anderton because he is not only smart and understanding, but a bicycle commuter himself! read more
