Welcome to Wayerski Zmolek

At Wayerski Zmolek Injury Law Firm we know injury and disability law because it’s ALL we do. We have dedicated our entire careers to injury and disability law in Bellingham. This includes helping those who have been injured or disabled due to someone else’s negligence (Personal Injury), work place injuries and/or  occupational diseases  caused or contributed to by their work (Workers’ Compensation), and individuals who simply are unable to work due to injury or disease and have had their claims denied by Social Security (Social Security Disability/SSI).

We represent real people across Northwestern Washington, not insurance companies, corporations, employers or the government. Let’s face it, if you’ve been injured or disabled and have a Personal Injury, Workers’ Compensation or Social Security Disability/SSI claim the odds are immediately against you. Insurance companies, L&I, and Social Security have teams of attorneys and adjusters ready to fight to minimize your injuries and disabilities.

We Specialize In

Personal Injury

Following are answers to some frequently asked questions about personal injury cases. The answers are general, so please ask your attorney about the specifics of your case.

You are Entitled to Two Types of Compensation for Your Injuries. The law provides that if you are injured by someone else's negligence -- in an auto collision, for example -- you can receive special and general damages. Special damages reimburse you for your out-of-pocket expenses, such as medical bills and lost wages. General damages compensate you for such non-economic losses as pain and suffering and restrictions on your everyday activities. Of course, you have to prove the extent of your damages and prove that they were directly caused by the accident.

Workers' Compensation

Workers' Compensation Will Pay for Your Medical Bills Until a Doctor Says Additional Treatment Will Not Make Your Condition Better.

However, the Department or self-insured employer is allowed to submit you to periodic medical examinations with their chosen doctors to determine whether additional treatment is necessary. Not surprisingly, the Department’s doctors often disagree with workers' own doctors. Your attorney can help settle those disputes.

Review from Anson Chamblin

Kip breathes fresh air into what at times seems to be a very dark legal system. After a serious injury at work, he was strongly recommended to me by several doctors. When it became apparent that my employer was working against me rather than supporting their injured worker, Kip joined my team and guided me through the long and arduous process of getting spinal surgery approved, then the even longer process of receiving the appropriate disability payment. He and his entire staff are wonderful: accessible and easy to talk to, friendly, supportive, sympathetic and encouraging, giving me a wonderful sense that someone was willing to fight for me when my life had been changed and I felt utterly abandoned by my long-term employer. I have coworkers who have worked with both Kip and Mitchell, and everyone agrees with me that this firm, though you hope to never need such services, is there to genuinely help you. They're extremely good at what they do, and managed to turn what was really a terrible experience into the most positive one possible. I am forever grateful to Kip and his team; thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Mitchell was the best, from start to finish he was helpful and transparent. Throughout this lengthy process he kept me updated and was asking me questions which was awesome! And he’s a very down to earth guy which is comforting in stressful situations.

Review from Wendy Owen

I hired Kip Wayerski to represent me in an auto accident injury case. The party at fault that caused the accident had the same insurance as I did. After realizing my insurance was not interested in helping me, was not paying my medical bills or responding to my calls I sought legal help from Kip Wayerski. He took care of it from there, he dealt with the insurance company. Compassionate and caring. We reached a settlement.

I highly recommend Wayerski Zmolek Injury Law Firm.

Review from Jordan Kooi

If you have been injured in a car accident due to the actions of others Mitchell and Sabrina are the best there is! They fight the good fight. Mitchell is kind, compassionate, and is an awesome Lawyer. He is brilliant and lays everything out both good and bad so you know all the options. Sabrina is kind, caring, compassionate, and a joy to work with. She is amazing at her job and takes care of everything in a timely precise manner. When you sign on with them you won't be disappointed. They absolutely nailed my case when I was injured in a car accident on i5. I highly recommend them.

Review from Jon Cavnar

Kip at Wayerski Zmolek Injury Law Firm is exception in Injury Law Cases.

He worked tirelessly for my case. He was very straight forward about the possible outcomes and always seemed to be one step ahead in planning our defense strategy.

Suzanne with the paralegal staff was also courteous and prompt in her responses, which made the whole stressful process much more bearable.

I am profoundly grateful for their service.
