Most people who contact Dax Jones are in one of the hardest periods of their lives. They are injured, medical bills are growing, insurance adjusters are calling, and no one has explained what comes next. Dax built The Jones Firm for those people.
The firm represents clients across King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Skagit counties, especially in greater Seattle and Bellevue. Meetings can happen in person, by phone, or through video. Dax and his team of Bellevue trial attorneys represent people harmed by careless drivers and others, including clients injured in car, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, truck, and rideshare collisions.
Choosing a lawyer after an injury can shape the next year of your life. Dax believes clients should understand who is handling their case, how the process works, and what record supports the lawyer’s claims before making that decision.
Why He Chose Injury Law
Dax was drawn to injury law because one careless moment can permanently change an innocent person’s life. A driver looks at a phone or ignores a signal, and someone else may face surgery, lost income, trauma, or lasting pain.
His goal is to make each client as whole as the law allows. He is candid that some injuries never fully heal. Financial recovery cannot erase a permanent disability or a death, but it can pay for treatment, replace lost wages, support therapy, and help a family rebuild. Dax also works with medical professionals who can document ongoing harm and explain why future care may be necessary.
He has seen injured people accept an insurer’s first offer, sign a release, and later discover that the settlement cannot cover another surgery or months away from work. Once the claim is closed, those rights may be gone. His role is to protect clients from that outcome and make sure the full impact of an injury is understood before any final agreement is signed.
More Than Two Decades of Experience
Dax, who is a native New Yorker, earned his law degree from Seattle University School of Law and was admitted to practice in Washington in 2002. He served as Research and Technical Editor for the school’s Law Review, then worked at Phillips & Webster and Steve Hay & Associates before opening The Jones Firm in 2006.
He joined the Washington State Association for Justice in 2003 and has remained committed to representing injured people against insurance companies. That experience matters because insurers handle thousands of claims and have systems designed to control payouts. Injured clients usually face that process for the first time while coping with medical treatment, missed work, and uncertainty.
Dax understands how adjusters evaluate claims, where insurers may minimize losses, and what evidence a case needs if it reaches a jury. He has handled matters ranging from property damage disputes to complex cases involving expert testimony and extensive trial preparation.
A Personal Approach
The Jones Firm is built on trust, service, and direct attorney involvement. Clients work with Dax from the first conversation through the conclusion of the case. He provides direct access, including his cell number, so questions reach the lawyer making the decisions.
This model is intentional. At larger firms, clients may be passed among case managers, paralegals, and associates. At The Jones Firm, Dax knows the details and can respond quickly when an insurer challenges a claim or makes an inadequate offer.
The first consultation is free. Dax can meet at a client’s home, hospital room, care facility, or by phone or video. He listens to what happened, reviews the injuries and treatment, explains applicable deadlines, and outlines possible next steps. There is no charge and no pressure to sign.
Recognition and Results
Dax was named a Washington Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2009, 2011, 2012, and 2014. The National Trial Lawyers selected him for its Top 40 Under 40 list in 2012, 2013, and 2014. He has also earned a 9.5 Avvo rating, a BV peer rating from Martindale Hubbell, and an Avvo Client’s Choice award.
His case results reflect the same focus on investigation and preparation. In one matter, a man was struck by a vehicle backing down a dirt driveway. The injury required surgery, an infection developed, and the man died. The insurer tried to blame him, but Dax retained an accident reconstructionist whose findings showed that the driver was solely responsible. The firm obtained waivers for nearly all of more than $100,000 in medical bills and recovered $1.4 million for the family.
In another car crash case, the firm recovered $200,000 for an injured client. The facts were different, but the method was the same: investigate thoroughly, document the harm, and refuse to accept the insurer’s version without proof. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
The Cases He Handles
Car crashes make up much of Dax’s practice, including intersection collisions, distracted driving, impaired driving, and other common dangers on Puget Sound roads. He also represents motorcycle riders, bicyclists, pedestrians, and people injured in truck, commercial vehicle, Uber, and Lyft crashes.
The firm also handles traumatic brain injury, wrongful death, and dental malpractice matters. These cases often involve serious medical questions, lasting consequences, and high financial stakes. Local experience can be important. Dax works in King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Skagit counties and understands how regional insurers, courts, and juries approach injury claims.
The First Step Costs Nothing
An injured person does not need to understand every legal issue before calling. A free consultation can provide an honest assessment of whether a claim exists, what deadlines apply, and what evidence should be protected. Dax speaks with prospective clients directly and gives straightforward answers, even when the answer is that a case should not be pursued.
The sooner someone handles the insurance process, the easier it is to preserve evidence, meet deadlines, and prevent the other side from defining what happened. For people whose lives have been disrupted by someone else’s carelessness, that first conversation can replace uncertainty with a clear plan.
