People frequently come to Anderson Law because they have been injured by someone else. Usually, that someone else was negligent, careless, and sometimes even reckless. Often, the injury was caused by a car crash while crossing the Blue Bridge from Kennewick to Pasco, or vice versa. Other times, it’s on Read more…
“With great power comes great responsibility”— I know, I know, that’s a quote most popularly attributed to a Spiderman comic book, but it’s true. When one has it in their power to be able to help others, one should not take this responsibility lightly. That’s why I have committed myself to being of service to my community.
The last time you went on a road trip to another state you probably had a lot of things going through your mind. Did you pack everything? Where are you going to stop for gas? How long can I take fast food? I hope the kids sleep. And on and on. But you probably aren’t thinking about the difference in laws.

This is my account of one of those (very tame) times.
One of the most tragic issues we face at Anderson Law is seeking recovery for serious injury or death of an individual who was either uninsured or didn’t have enough insurance coverage. Often, this is the case with people who don’t drive. Sometimes these people are injured as passengers in a relative’s car. In other recent cases in Kennewick, they have been injured as pedestrians.
Usually, as an attorney, I give my clients no advice whatsoever regarding their personal injury settlements except “Don’t spend it all in one place” and “Consult a financial adviser”. But, since this is a blog and I can say anything I want, except for political speech, I will spill my Read more…
I know what you’re thinking. First, that the title of the book is Fast Food Nation. And second, that Mr. Schlosser’s book reminds you of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle.
