Do I Have a Case?
If you were injured in a car accident in Washington, you may be entitled to compensation. To have a valid case, we must prove that another driver’s negligence, recklessness, or unlawful actions caused your injuries. Here are some common types of car accident cases we handle:
Rear-End Collisions
One of the most common types of accidents, often caused by distracted driving, tailgating, or sudden braking. Even low-speed rear-end crashes can result in whiplash, spinal injuries, or chronic pain.
T-Bone Accidents
These occur at intersections when a driver fails to yield, runs a red light, or disregards stop signs. Side-impact crashes can lead to serious head, neck, and internal injuries.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
If the at-fault driver fled the scene, you still have options. We can help you pursue compensation through your uninsured motorist coverage or explore other legal remedies.
Drunk Driving Accidents
If a driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they can be held legally and financially responsible for your injuries. These cases often involve punitive damages in addition to medical expenses and lost wages.
Distracted Driving Crashes
A growing problem in Washington, distracted driving accidents involve texting, using GPS, or adjusting the radio while behind the wheel. Proving distraction is key to securing a strong claim.
Motorcycle & Truck Accidents
Motorcyclists and truck accident victims often suffer catastrophic injuries due to the size and speed of the vehicles involved. These cases require aggressive legal representation to hold negligent drivers accountable.
Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents
When a driver fails to yield, speeds through a crosswalk, or ignores traffic signals, pedestrians and cyclists can suffer devastating injuries. We fight for victims' rights and fair compensation.
