Accidents never arrive at a good time. They crash into your life without warning, leaving you in pain and trying to juggle doctor visits, lost work, and calls from insurance adjusters who seem to care more about their bottom line than your recovery.
Russell & Hill – Injury & Accident Attorneys is a firm that steps in when life gets turned upside down. They represent injured people across Washington and Idaho, helping them navigate the legal system, deal with stubborn insurance companies, and secure the compensation they need to move forward.
Clients describe them as approachable, responsive, and relentless in getting results — all while treating you like a real person, not a file number.
Serving Clients Across Two States
The firm serves clients throughout Washington and Idaho, which means they understand the unique rules and court processes in both states. They’ve worked in busy urban courts like Spokane and Everett, as well as smaller, rural areas where the legal pace and procedures can be very different.
Knowing these local differences gives Russell & Hill an advantage in strategizing for each case. Whether your accident happened on a crowded freeway, in a neighborhood crosswalk, or on a rural two-lane road, they bring the same level of preparation and care.
The Team Behind the Name
The firm was founded with a simple mission: protect the rights of injured people and help them rebuild their lives. Over the years, they’ve grown into a full team of lawyers, paralegals, and support staff who share that commitment.
The attorneys are known for being clear communicators and honest advisors. They’ll tell you what’s realistic, explain the legal process in plain language, and make sure you always know what’s happening with your case.

Russell & Hill focuses entirely on representing injured clients. Their main practice areas include:
Car accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Truck and commercial vehicle accidents
Bicycle and pedestrian accidents

First Steps: How They Begin
Your relationship with Russell & Hill starts with a free consultation. You share your story, and they give you an honest breakdown of your options.
If you choose to move forward, they get to work right away:
Collecting police and accident reports
Contacting and interviewing witnesses
Gathering and organizing medical records and bills
Photographing the accident scene and any visible injuries
Consulting experts such as accident reconstructionists or medical specialists
Taking over all communication with insurance companies so you can focus on healing
Communication That Stands Out
Reviews often mention how well Russell & Hill keeps in touch. Some law firms leave you wondering about the status of your case. This one doesn’t. They return calls quickly, send regular updates, and explain each step as it happens.
Even when nothing new has occurred, they check in so you know your case is still active. That simple habit gives clients peace of mind during a stressful time.
Going Up Against Insurance Companies
Insurance companies have strategies designed to reduce payouts — questioning the severity of your injuries, shifting blame, or making quick low offers.
Russell & Hill knows these tactics inside and out. They build cases with strong evidence, negotiate firmly, and aren’t afraid to take matters to court if the insurance company refuses to be fair.
What Clients Say in Reviews
Across dozens of reviews, a few things come up repeatedly:
They truly care about clients.
They make the legal process understandable.
They’re skilled negotiators and fighters in court.
They treat clients with respect and kindness.
One client described how, after a rear-end collision, Russell & Hill not only secured a settlement covering all medical bills but also arranged for physical therapy.
Another family shared that during a wrongful death case, the attorneys balanced compassion with aggressive advocacy, helping them find closure while holding the responsible party accountable.
Car Accident Representation
Car accidents are one of the most common cases they handle. Even a “minor” crash can cause long-term injuries. The firm’s approach includes:
Double-checking police reports for accuracy
Speaking to witnesses promptly
Finding camera footage when available
Consulting accident reconstruction experts
Working with doctors to fully document the medical impact
Motorcycle Accident Cases
Motorcyclists face higher risks on the road, and unfortunately, they sometimes face bias from insurance adjusters. Russell & Hill works to challenge unfair assumptions and present the true story of what happened.
Truck Accident Claims
Crashes involving large trucks can be devastating. The firm digs deep into driver logs, trucking company policies, and maintenance records to uncover any violations or negligence.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Pedestrians and cyclists have little protection against motor vehicles. The firm works to prove fault and recover damages for medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Wrongful Death Cases
Losing a loved one to someone else’s negligence is heartbreaking. Russell & Hill helps families secure compensation for funeral expenses, loss of income, and the emotional toll — while making sure the responsible party is held accountable.
Brain Injury Representation
Brain injuries can be complex and life-changing. The firm works with neurologists, therapists, and other specialists to show the full effect on your life, both now and in the future.
Spinal Cord Injury Cases
Spinal injuries often mean lifelong adjustments, from medical care to home modifications. Russell & Hill ensures these costs are part of any settlement or verdict.
Slip and Fall Cases
Slips and falls can cause serious harm, especially for older adults. The firm investigates property owner negligence, maintenance records, and safety violations to prove liability.
Dog Bite and Animal Attack Cases
Dog attacks can leave lasting scars. Russell & Hill examines leash laws, prior incidents, and owner negligence to secure fair compensation for victims.
Why They Don’t Rush Settlements
Quick settlements might leave you without enough to cover future needs. Russell & Hill takes time to assess your injuries fully before agreeing to any resolution.
Fees That Put Clients First
They work on a contingency fee — no upfront costs, and they only get paid if they win. This makes it possible for anyone to access quality legal help.
Accessibility and Availability
Clients often mention how easy it is to reach their attorney or case manager. Whether it’s a phone call, email, or in-person meeting, you get quick, clear answers.

heard, respected, and supported the entire time."
Helping Clients Beyond Legal Work
The team often helps clients find medical care, physical therapy, or counseling. They know recovery isn’t just about money — it’s about getting your life back.
Always Ready for Trial
Even when expecting a settlement, they prepare every case as if it’s going to court. This sends a message to insurance companies that they’re serious about winning.
