As a Washington head-on collision lawyer, I am aware of how difficult it is for you and family members to go through a devastating car accident. According to KOMO News, a two vehicle accident resulted in the death of one driver and injured the other driver. The collision occurred just after 4 p.m. near Buckley along State Route 410 and 254th Avenue. A Jeep SUV crossed the center line in order to pass several cars and crashed head-on into a truck that was going the opposite direction. The attempt at passing the cars proved fatal for the driver of the Jeep. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the truck was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening wounds. Even though road conditions have been cold and icy recently, weather was not believed to have been a factor in this traffic accident.
Although this accident occurred in Buckley, head-on collisions can happen on neighboring streets of Federal Way as well. Speeding and weaving in and out of traffic are dangerous but common driving behaviors. Head-on collisions are extremely dangerous and are often due to a vehicle crossing over the center line going straight into the path of on-coming traffic.
Auto accidents are devastating and often leave families feeling overwhelmed trying to figure out what to do next. The death of a loved one or even serious personal injuries due to dangerous car accidents are devastating and life changing events and can lead to emotional as well as physical stress. If you or a loved one have been seriously injured in a vehicle collision, contact a dedicated Federal Way car accident attorney today. Our hearts go out to the friends and families of all traffic accident victims.
When a bus, streetcar, train or any other form of public transportation is in an accident, there is always potential for various injuries. As a Seattle vehicle collision lawyer, I always encourage the use of public transportation in order to reduce the number of cars on the road. According to KING 5 News, a vehicle collided with the South Lake Union Streetcar and ran it off the tracks on Sunday morning. The collision occurred at the intersection of Westlake and Mercer. Passengers of the streetcar reported that a car ran a red light before knocking the streetcar off its tracks. No one was injured on the streetcar but the driver of the vehicle was taken to a nearby hospital in serious condition. The cause of the accident is still being investigated but it was noted that the intersection of Westlake and Mercer is commonly seen as an unlikely spot for a train and could have contributed to this collision. Even though no one was hurt in the streetcar in this incident, it easily could have been a highly dangerous situation for many people.
The Seattle streetcar is comparatively new to the area and people may not be aware of its presence. However, being alert of other vehicles on the road and allowing enough time to minimize rushing could help avoid unsafe collisions. Aggressive and inattentive driving behaviors such as running a red light is dangerous for everyone on or around the road.
If you or a loved one have been injured in a car accident due to the negligent driving of another, then contact a dedicated Seattle vehicle accident attorney to further discuss your options. Streetcars carry many passengers and therefore carry a high risk of personal injury if involved in an accident. The health and safety of your family is most important and you may need legal representation to ensure that a car crash that was someone else’s fault does not become a financial burden.

As a Seattle car crash attorney, I am aware of the impact that weather has on our roads, especially during these winter months. Snowy and icy conditions make for a messy drive and it is up to the driver to make responsible decisions for the conditions. Driving too fast or reckless during inclement weather can result in devastating vehicle accidents. According to KING 5 News, the Seattle area is in for a change in weather this weekend which could bring snow to the forecast. The storm is set to start on Saturday and continue through to next week. Although the temperatures are not expected to dip too low, some overnight freezing may take place making driving that much more difficult for commuters. SDOT is taking the necessary precautions throughout the weekend to keep major streets clear throughout the storm.
Driving during a snow storm or on icy roads is dangerous and often brings traffic accidents and injuries. Utilizing cautious driving habits during inclement weather in order to keep yourself and others on the road safe is advised. Harsh weather conditions are common this time of year and the best way to prepare for driving in a winter storm is to be aware of street conditions before heading out and always take the time to drive carefully.

As a Seattle pedestrian accident lawyer, I am an advocate against drinking and driving for many reasons. First, it is extremely dangerous and reckless. Second, it causes numerous traffic accidents that lead to serious to fatal injuries. Driving drunk also allows for poor judgment which is seen in many hit and run incidences. According to KOMO News, a man pleaded guilty of driving while intoxicated and vehicular homicide that resulted in the death of a pedestrian. The man was arrested after driving drunk and hitting a man in a motorized wheelchair. The driver sped off after the initial collision, creating further charges of felony hit and run. The man in the wheelchair suffered serious injuries and was taken to a hospital where he later succumbed to his wounds.
Pedestrians need to be extra cautious when crossing the street in order to remain safe. Drunk drivers and other driving distractions can make it extremely dangerous for pedestrians, even when utilizing designated crosswalks. There is never an excuse for drinking and driving due to the devastation that it may bring both the driver and others on or around the road.

The officer suffered minor injuries, but is expected to recover fully. Police are still looking for the reckless driver.

Road rage is an extreme version of aggressive driving.
For the safety of ourselves, as well as everyone with whom we share the road, we all need to be aware of our mood when we drive. If you are upset or angry, it is a good idea to pay extra attention to your driving. If you find yourself losing patience with another driver, or anyone else, stop somewhere and relax for a little while before getting back on the road.

As a Seattle car accident lawyer, I know how mundane the routine commute home can be after a long day at work. Drivers are often tired, not paying attention, driving quickly in order to get home faster, or distracted during busy rush hour times of the day.

The accident occurred in the northbound lanes of Highway 167 and 31st Avenue around 4:45p.m. Both drivers involved were pronounced dead at the scene.

Amtrak accidents are devastating and often result in severe to fatal injuries. Although trains are typically a safe mode of transportation, they can create dangerous accidents for pedestrians and other vehicles that may be on the tracks. As a Seattle personal injury attorney, I know how serious collisions on the train tracks can be for pedestrians. According to KIRO TV News, a man was killed on Sunday while trying to cross Amtrak tracks near Castle Rock, Washington. The train was traveling from Portland to Seattle when the accident occurred. Officials report that the man was crossing the tracks at a non-rail crossing zone around 6:40p.m. when he was fatally hit by the passenger train. Trains were delayed until 9p.m. while the tracks were closed for investigation. This was the first train fatality on the tracks of Washington so far this year.
Trains are generally pretty quiet and move at a very fast pace, making it difficult to evaluate crossing safety. Train crosswalks should be utilized at all times in order to avoid personal injuries. Even though this Amtrak accident occurred in southwest Washington, the tracks that run through Seattle are also highly dangerous and pedestrians are encouraged to stay off the tracks for their own safety.
If you or a loved one have been severely injured in a dangerous train accident, then contact a dedicated Washington personal injury lawyer to further discuss your options. Crossing train tracks outside selected crosswalks is extremely dangerous for vulnerable pedestrians. Paying attention and following Amtrak guidelines could help avoid serious and even fatal injuries. If you have been injured in an accident, you may need legal representation to ensure that it does not become a financial burden to your or your family.

Vehicle-pedestrian collisions are devastating and are often seen as the fault of the vehicle and negligent driving. This could be a reason why many pedestrian accidents often result in a hit and run accident. As a Seattle pedestrian accident attorney, I understand the level of confusion one might have after a hit and run collision. According to KING 5 News, a dangerous hit and run accident left a pedestrian with severe injuries. The incident occurred on Thursday morning in the White Center neighborhood at 14th Avenue and Southwest Roxbury Street. It is unclear if the pedestrian was dragged by the car or if the impact of the collision launched him 30 feet away from the crosswalk where the initial contact was made. The victim was seriously injured with non-life threatening wounds. Police are still searching for the hit and run vehicle.
Hit and run accidents are extremely difficult to comprehend, particularly when a pedestrian is involved. Pedestrians are defenseless against an automobile and therefore the utmost cation should be used as a good driver. As a pedestrian, it is always important to utilize pedestrian crosswalks and designated sidewalks whenever possible to reduce the probability of dangerous collisions.
If you or a loved one have been seriously injured in a vehicle accident due to negligent driving, then contact an aggressive Seattle pedestrian accident lawyer to further discuss your options and legal rights.

Inclement weather conditions, distracted driving, fatigue, and inattention are all factors that may play a role in fatal vehicle collisions. As a Seattle wrongful death lawyer, I am aware of the dangers and unpredictability that the road may bring motorists. KOMO News reported about a fatal accident that claimed the lives of two people and injured another near Lynden, Washington. The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon and involved two vehicles. Police reports claim that a car carrying two people lost control while driving westbound on Badger Road. The vehicle swerved across the center line of the road and was hit by a vehicle headed the other direction. The two passengers of the initial car were killed instantly as a direct result of the impact of the collision. The driver of the other vehicle was treated for minor injuries. Police are still investigating the cause of the incident claiming wet and windy conditions as well as an alcohol container found at the scene might have contributed to the accident. Even though this accident occurred near Lynden, this incident could have easily occurred in neighboring streets of Kent as well.
Fatal car accidents are a continuous problem throughout the country. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2010 nearly 460 fatal traffic accidents occurred in the state of Washington alone. Taking care while operating a vehicle and paying attention to the road may help keep traffic fatalities from increasing further.

High speed chases are very dangerous and often have a high probability of ending tragically. As a Seattle aggressive driving accident lawyer, I am thankful when I hear about high speed chases ending with minimal damages to innocent bystanders. According to KOMO News, a dangerous high speed chase ended after the driver crashed and rolled a stolen SUV in Edmonds Wednesday morning. The driver was a suspected car thief that was driving a Lexus SUV. A Lynnwood police officer spotted the reported stolen vehicle and attempted to pull over the suspect. That is when the driver sped off going southbound on Highway 99. The chase continued until the driver turned onto a dead end road and crashed into a tree before rolling the stolen SUV in front of a Swedish Hospital. The driver was trapped inside the vehicle before being rescued and taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. The police are still investigating the accident but no other injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
Speeding in order to evade police officials is not only reckless for the driver but it is also an endangerment to every vehicle and pedestrian on or around the road. Aggressive driving is defined as driving behaviors that endanger the lives of other motorists on the road. These types of traffic offenses often lead to many vehicle accidents that can include serious to fatal injuries.
