"I just want to see my son! He's in the emergency room!" Riley Pacheco's words were captured on video at Tacoma General Hospital. Rowen, his 19-year-old son, died just over a month later. The family is now suing MultiCare:

KING 5 News recently interviewed our clients, alongside EPIC attorney Tim Ceder, about their lawsuit against MultiCare, which alleges that excessive force was used against Riley Pacheco while he was attempting to reach his critically ill son at the hospital.

Mr. Pacheco and his daughter were given visitor bracelets but then directed to the wrong location. When Mr. Pacheco expressed his frustration, security personnel became hostile. When he sat down and attempted to de-escalate the situation, they handcuffed him, tackled him to the ground, and forcibly restrained him.

At a time when the primary concern was reaching their critically ill child, Mr. Pacheco and his family allege that the situation escalated unnecessarily. This lawsuit raises serious questions about how hospital staff and security personnel respond to family members navigating an already frightening medical emergency, and how their use of force is determined.

We are proud to represent our clients as they share their experience and seek accountability. We appreciate KING 5 News for bringing attention to this case and giving our clients an opportunity to tell their story.

Our attorneys led an engaging, interactive case study exploring a complex personal injury matter that recently resolved prior to trial. Through thoughtful discussion and real-world insights, they shared valuable perspectives on the litigation process, case strategy, and the complexities involved in pursuing justice for injured individuals.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to our legal community, share knowledge with fellow attorneys, and continue fostering professional growth and collaboration throughout the Tacoma-Pierce County legal community. Thank you, TPCBA for another great convention!

When parents send their children to school, they trust that they will be safe, supported and treated with dignity and respect.

Our firm is proud to represent a family seeking accountability after their five-year-old nonverbal autistic son was physically and verbally abused by a teacher while at school at Camas Prairie Elementary School. This abuse was witnessed by another para educator, but was not reported as required by law. The district failed this child on every level.

Every child deserves to learn in an environment free from fear and harm, especially our most vulnerable, and when that trust is broken families deserve answers.

We remain committed to advocating for our clients and helping them pursue justice.

Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of welcoming Evergreen Personal Injury Counsel’s newest attorney, John Hardie, with an open house at our office.

Since joining EPIC, John has already proven to be an unbelievable asset to our firm—but even more important than being an outstanding attorney, he's simply an outstanding person. We feel incredibly fortunate to have him on our team, and we're excited for all that's ahead.
