In Washington State, there were 103,000 car accidents reported in 2009. Almost 35 percent resulted in an injury of someone involved, and 2,241 were considered to be serious injuries.  As a Kirkland auto accident lawyer in a Seattle injury law firm, I know that unsafe driving is a factor that results in serious auto accidents.

As a Seattle personal injury attorney, I have handled many cases involving bicycle accidents.

Due to the lack of protection bicyclists have against […]

Being a Seattle car accident attorney and Washington wrongful death lawyer I understand how deeply drunk driving affects our community.

Being a personal injury attorney, working on Washington wrongful death cases and severe Seattle car accidents, I decided to take a stand against texting while driving and started “Teens Against Distracted Driving” nearly 2 years ago. I have been speaking with schools and other groups since TADD began, but in spite of my efforts and the […]

Having worked as a Bellevue personal injury lawyer and Seattle wrongful death attorney for over a decade, I have seen far too many tragic accidents take away life from kids who had many great years ahead of them. As a father of two young boys myself, I know that children are always at risk of […]

A Bremerton car crash that claimed the life of 6-month-old child has been ruled another senseless case of texting while driving. Being a Tacoma auto accident lawyer I remember the accident as it happened October 6th 2010 on northbound State Route 303 by Riddle Road in Bremerton. The Williams family was stopped at a red […]
