Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents in Seattle

The pedestrian injury attorneys at Seattle's Dean Standish Perkins and Associates have particular experience representing pedestrians injured in traffic accidents.

Anyone who ever crosses the street is at risk for a pedestrian collision, with children and the elderly being the most vulnerable groups. Unfortunately, this type of hazard can have tragic results, including serious injuries or even death.

Driver negligence is the most common cause of pedestrian accidents.  Drivers who speed, run red lights or stop signs, ignore crosswalks, talk on the phone or eat while driving or drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be held liable for the damage they cause.  Even if the pedestrian is partly at fault, the driver can often still be required to pay partial compensation for the injury.

Sometimes, pedestrian injuries are the result of inadequate or poorly marked crosswalks, improperly timed lights and other problems with the road itself.  Our attorneys can help injured people seek restitution from those responsible for the road, including governmental bodies, engineers, designers and construction firms.

Accident Compensation

Not all pedestrian events are preventable, and sometimes no one is at fault. Our attorneys have the experience to thoroughly investigate the accident and determine whether the injuries were the result of negligence.  We will aggressively pursue full recovery for the victim or family members, including compensation for medical costs, pain and suffering, and lost wages. In cases of extreme negligence, victims may also receive punitive damages, which are meant to punish the driver for causing the accident.

Our exceptional staff also has particular experience identifying potential insurance coverage for victims of pedestrian accidents.  For example, many victims do not realize that your own automobile personal injury protection (PIP) coverage may be available to pay medical bills.

Help is here.  Let us put our experience and proven record of success representing pedestrian accident victims to work for you.  Contact Dean Standish Perkins and Associates right away.
