A lawyer can assist you with all the steps involved in bringing a claim, all while protecting your rights and arguing for maximum compensation on your behalf.

What Causes Seattle Bicycle Accidents?

Bicyclists are vulnerable road users, meaning they are more prone to serious injuries in collisions than motor vehicle drivers. Drivers should, therefore, exercise due care when operating around bicyclists. Unfortunately, drivers and other parties may breach these duties and cause serious collisions. In 2016, 17 bicyclists in Washington died and hundreds suffered injuries in traffic accidents. Bicyclists accounted for 18.6% of traffic fatalities and 22.5% of serious traffic injuries in 2016. A bicycle accident could stem from many different causes in the City of Seattle.

• Driver error. Mistakes and negligence behind the wheel such as texting and driving, driving while distracted, driving drunk, breaking roadway rules, or driving drowsy can lead to a motorist striking a bicyclist in Seattle. All drivers in Washington must carry car insurance to cover victims’ damages after at-fault collisions.
• Bicycle defects. Many bicycle manufacturers and producers release bikes with dangerous inherent designs or product defects, such as missing bicycle chain links or bad brakes. These defects could cause bicyclists in Seattle to crash and sustain serious physical injuries. The manufacturers may be liable for these collisions.
• Dangerous roads. The City of Seattle has a legal responsibility to keep its roads reasonably safe. This duty requires regular roadway inspections, timely responses to complaints and high-quality road repairs. The neglect to fulfill these responsibilities could lead to many road-related hazards for bikers, including potholes, loose gravel, fallen trees and missing barricades.

Identifying the correct at-fault party is one of the tasks our investigators can handle on your behalf. With this information, we can file your personal injury claim against the right defendant(s) and pursue maximum compensation from their insurance providers.

“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
