Jim Whitehead opened his own law office in Seattle, Washington, on January 1, 2008, after spending many years in practice in three other Seattle law firms, where he served as a partner or shareholder. He has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in a wide variety of injury and wrongful death claims, including maritime casualties, motor vehicle accidents, and accidents on commercial properties. In his maritime practice, he has represented numerous marine underwriters, including most of the world’s P&I Clubs, as well as leading seafood processing companies involved in the Alaska fishing industry, and has also represented Jones Act seamen, including Alaska fishermen and processors. Most of his personal injury work now is for plaintiffs. He has represented victims of medical negligence and malpractice and passengers injured on cruise ships and has also represented aggrieved workers who claimed violations of their civil rights and unlawful termination. In recent years he has represented domestic and foreign insurers in complex recovery cases involving damage to products during interstate and foreign transportation by land, air, or sea, and damage to perishables during controlled atmosphere or other storage conditions.
