Miller & Zois is a national personal injury law firm.  Our law firm routinely handles severe personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits nationwide, including Washington. Our firm has helped injury victims in Washington get compensation in various types of cases across the state, including medical malpractice, birth injuries, sex abuse, major auto accidents, and everything else.

The ability to present compelling evidence that establishes the defendant’s liability and proves damages puts significant pressure on defendants. They are more likely to settle when faced with the risk of a high jury payout. The prospect of losing at trial and paying even more in compensation—including legal fees—motivates defendants to offer larger settlements when they believe the plaintiff will win at trial.
