WASHINGTON STATE ASSOCIATION FOR JUSTICE
For over 15 years, the lawyers at Schauermann Thayer Jacobs & Staples P.S., have been EAGLE members of The Washington State Association for Justice (WSAJ). WSAJ fights to strengthen the civil justice system for all of Washington’s citizens. It opposes efforts to weaken basic legal protections which, if enacted, would further stack the deck against injured persons. Like WSAJ, we believe in the fundamental principle that everyone in our society should be equal in the courts of law – extra protections and advantages should not be given to the rich and powerful or to large corporations or governments.
As EAGLE members of WSAJ we help fund the organization’s legislative and public affairs efforts which protect us all. Thanks to these funds, WSAJ has one of the most experienced and respected lobbying teams in the state. Over the years, WSAJ has overcome repeated attempts to pass legislation that would have further eroded the rights of injured people and has helped defeat proposals to cap damages and eliminate joint and several liability.
Additionally, our EAGLE memberships enable us to receive special member advantages and benefits that are a tremendous asset to our firm and, more importantly, to our clients. For more information on WSAJ and the EAGLE program, you may go to the WSAJ website at, www.washingtonjustice.org.
If you have been injured, or lost a loved one due to the fault of another, know that we have already been fighting to protect your rights for a very long time now. We would welcome the opportunity to speak with you during a free consultation about your specific needs. Please feel free to give us a call at (360) 450-2367.
