Pedestrian Accident Claims in Seattle

Seattle is one of the nation’s most walkable cities. As our city continues to grow, more people utilize the city’s many ways to get around, including walking, biking and taking public transportation. Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents injure people in Seattle each year. If you believe a careless or reckless motorist caused the accident that injured you, then you may be able to pursue justice and compensation in a claim handled by our compassionate attorneys.

In terms of deadly pedestrian accidents, Seattle’s statistics are:

• 5 pedestrians killed in 2016
• 11 fatalities in 2017
• 18 fatalities in 2018

These deaths are in addition to the numerous, non-fatal injuries suffered by pedestrians on our city’s roads. When we travel on foot, we’re completely vulnerable. We don’t have the protection of a motor vehicle. As a result, injuries from a collision can easily be catastrophic and debilitating.

These accidents may cause serious trauma:

• Back, neck and shoulder injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Brain injuries
• Limb trauma resulting in amputation
• Fractures
• Scarring and disfigurement

Medical bills can quickly become expensive. Simultaneously, you may be unable to work because of your injury, and therefore may be losing the income you need to support you through your recovery. It is costs, losses and consequences like these for which our attorneys pursue compensation on your behalf.

Why You Deserve an Experienced Advocate on Your Side

If the accident that injured you can be traced back to someone else’s negligence, you may be able to recover compensation in a case handled by our lawyers. Call us before accepting any settlement offers; they may be unfairly low.
