Karns & Karns opens Seattle and Bellevue offices in Washington

By AI, Created 9:57 AM UTC, May 20, 2026, /AGP/ – Karns & Karns Personal Injury and Accident Attorneys has expanded into Washington state with new offices in Seattle and Bellevue. The firm is pitching its trial-first approach, with a focus on trucking crashes, catastrophic injury cases and institutional abuse claims.

Why it matters: - Karns & Karns is entering the Washington market with a trial-focused pitch aimed at injury victims facing trucking companies, insurers and large institutions. - The expansion adds two flagship offices in Seattle and Bellevue, giving the firm a local base in the Pacific Northwest. - The firm is positioning itself as an alternative to high-volume advertising firms that may not try cases in court.

What happened: - Karns & Karns Personal Injury and Accident Attorneys opened offices at the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle and in central Bellevue. - The firm says it has recovered more than $300 million and has over 2,500 five-star reviews. - Bill Karns, founding partner, said Washington families should know who is handling their case and argued that a trial firm can pressure insurers differently than a billboard firm.

The details: - The Seattle office is at 701 Fifth Av, #4200, Seattle, WA 98104. - The Bellevue office is at 10655 NE 4th St, #630, Bellevue, WA 98004. - The firm’s accident practice targets cases on the I-5, I-405 and I-90 corridors. - The Washington accident division is focused on 18-wheeler and commercial truck crashes, commercial delivery truck collisions, motorcycle and car accidents, pedestrian cases, slip-and-fall claims, and wrongful death cases. - The firm says its sexual abuse and institutional advocacy team is led by trial attorneys Darryl Meigs and Mia Hong. - That division handles rideshare sexual abuse, foster care abuse and neglect, and workplace or institutional abuse claims in-house. - Karns & Karns says the in-house handling is meant to protect confidentiality and support trauma-informed care. - The firm says its No-Fee Guarantee means no upfront costs, firm-paid case expenses and no legal fee unless there is a recovery. - General inquiries go to 1-800-4THEWIN, or 1-800-484-3946. - The firm lists more information at Seattle office details and Bellevue office details.

Between the lines: - The Washington launch reflects a broader fight in personal injury law between firms built around trial work and firms built around lead generation and referrals. - By emphasizing courtroom readiness, Karns & Karns is signaling to insurers and defendants that it wants higher-value settlements and is willing to litigate. - The focus on institutional abuse and catastrophic injury suggests the firm is targeting complex, high-stakes cases rather than routine claims.

What’s next: - Karns & Karns is likely to use the Seattle and Bellevue offices as its regional base for Washington cases. - The firm will compete for trucking, serious injury and survivor claims across the state, especially in high-traffic corridors and against larger institutions. - The new offices give Washington clients direct access to the firm’s trial team without relying on outside counsel.
