About this firm

Cummins, Goodman, Denley & Vickers, P.C. regularly represents employers and insurers in the areas of employment law, business disputes, insurance defense, workers' compensation, tort & OSHA (both state and federal) defense. The firm approaches litigation comprehensively with the goal of resolving all issues expeditiously. Effective advocacy focused on creative solutions is always the goal. In sum, the firm provides options to clients designed to lead to positive outcomes.

The firm assists clients with the full range of legal challenges employers face today. This includes preparation of employee handbooks, advice regarding drug testing in the workplace, interpreting Americans with Disabilities Act requirements in the context of a particular employer's business environment, as well as defending BOLI, wrongful termination, harassment and discrimination claims, and resolving complex business and contract controversies.

The firm has always enjoyed a well-earned reputation for being a leader in workers' compensation defense throughout the Northwest. The firm is known for providing effective tools for mitigating the impact of the 20% of claims that drive 80% of costs. This experience is especially helpful to clients facing what turn out to be unnecessary increases in claims costs during difficult economic times. Moreover, successful defense efforts on behalf of one of our clients can often translate into favorable case-law precedent, which, in turn, ends up benefiting all our other clients. The firm's additional expertise in employment and safety law allows for the application of a unique perspective and understanding of the interplay between these issues and workers' compensation. This in turn fosters the development of practical and beneficial "global" resolutions for the firm's clients.
