Car accidents are traumatic events that disrupt every aspect of your daily routine. Painful injuries can interfere with your ability to lead your normal life. Endless forms to complete and constant calls from insurance companies cause unnecessary stress, take your valuable time, and keep you from focusing on what is most important – your recovery.
Your job is to get better. Our job is everything else. At Urquia Law, you will never have to talk to the insurance company again. We will help you with your recovery – arranging the repair or payment for your car, helping you find the medical care you need, and making sure your bills are getting covered by the insurance companies.
Whether you are riding for fun, doing errands, or commuting to work, bicycling should be a safe and healthy activity. Unfortunately, bicyclists are vulnerable on the road. If you have been hit by a car, doored, or cut off by a car, you should know your rights.
Just like in a car accident, if you are not at fault, you should be compensated for your injuries including your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. We will help you get your bicycle fixed or replaced, make sure that your medical bills are covered by the insurance company, and get you fair compensation for your injuries.
Motorcyclists are vulnerable on the road. Cars often don’t see you and, if you are hit, you don’t have the same protection as a car.

At Urquia Law, we will help you get your motorcycle fixed or replaced, make sure that your medical bills are covered by the insurance company, and fight for you so that you receive fair compensation for your injuries.

Car accidents and falls are the leading causes of traumatic brain injuries and concussions in the United States. Symptoms of traumatic brain injuries and concussions can range from headache to nausea to mood swings to insomnia. Traumatic brain injuries and concussions can be temporary or life-changing events. Sadly, traumatic brain injuries and concussions often go undiagnosed or untreated, leaving patients confused, stressed, and exhausted.
If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury or concussion due to the fault of another, you may be entitled to compensation, including your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. At Urquia Law, PLLC, we can investigate your case, help connect you with medical professionals, and fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

Feeling uncomfortable with just the thought of exploring a medical malpractice lawsuit against your doctor? That’s understandable. After all, your doctor has taken care of you and perhaps your family. You have always trusted and respected them. You do not want to hurt them or their reputation. However, the reality is that doctors and medical professionals are protected and backed by their employers and their medical malpractice insurance.
As patients, we often put our complete trust into our medical providers. Yet, when treatment goes wrong it can be life-altering. At Urquia Law, we will carefully gather the facts of your case, address your questions and concerns, and explain your options so that you can choose the best course of action for you, your family, and your future.
We place our trust into nursing homes to care for and protect our loved ones. Tragically, sometimes people are severely hurt or die while in the care of these facilities due to the negligence of the nursing home. Maybe they were given the wrong medication, or they fell when there was no one there to help them get to the bathroom, or their complaints of pain went ignored.
Holding nursing homes accountable can bring justice to your family and protect other individuals in the future. At Urquia Law, we can help you understand your rights and options. You and your loved ones deserve fair compensation.
A sexual assault committed against you or your loved one is a nightmare. The devastating physical, emotional, and mental harm and trauma changes your life. A sexual assault victim has rights to protect themselves and their future.

At Urquia Law, we will help you understand your rights and the most effective legal strategies for your case.
You got hurt at work and it was not your fault. Now, you might be faced with a complicated Worker’s Compensation or Labor & Industries (L&I) claim. L&I may cut you off from receiving needed treatment now and in the future. Additionally, L&I does not cover the greatest harms of all: your pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, inconvenience, stress, and permanent harm to you and your family caused by your injuries.
You may be feeling lost, confused, and disheartened. You worked for your employer with the understanding that you would be protected if something went wrong, but now you are stuck fighting with L&I about the care that you need. At Urquia Law, we can investigate your claim.
You may be able to file a separate personal injury claim to make up for all the harms and losses that L&I does not cover.
Insurance companies make money by illegally denying insurance claims. You pay monthly insurance premiums with the understanding that your insurance company will be there for you during your time of need. But now your insurance company is refusing to pay your insurance claim or refusing to pay the fair value of your insurance claim.
You have rights against your insurance company for illegally denying your insurance claim. Urquia Law, PLLC will investigate your insurance claim. We will fight to make sure that the insurance company covers your claim and is held accountable for illegally denying your claim.
