Tegan truly enjoys working with individuals to help them recover after they have been hurt. She places her clients’ needs first so she can obtain the best possible outcome for each person she serves. 

Tegan’s background defending personal injury cases gives her an edge in advocating for plaintiffs. Her work on behalf of insurers has given her insight that allows her to anticipate defendants’ actions and sticking points to resolving cases, which minimizes surprises and maximizes results. She excels at developing each case in order to get the best results from insurers and companies.

Tegan has extensive experience litigating personal injury matters in Tacoma, from car accidents and slip and falls to industrial accidents. She has handled cases involving food-borne illnesses such as salmonella or e-coli poisoning, farmworker accidents, construction site accidents, dog bite injuries, and product liability issues. In addition, she has handled non-injury cases involving timber trespass, premises liability, consumer protection act claims, and landlord-tenant disputes.  

In her free time, Tegan enjoys gardening, boating, hiking, and camping and backpacking around Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. This past year, she has begun to learn aerial skills and is very proud that she can climb to the top of a silk (and back down!). Tegan also looks forward to the days she volunteers at a local elementary school, even though she often seems to need a nap after a day with the second graders.
