As a Seattle personal injury attorney and Washington wrongful death lawyer, I know that motorcyclists face a much greater risk of injury than other drivers. Because they lack a protective external barrier, they are 26 times more likely to be killed in a traffic accident. Unfortunately, Washington motorcyclists need to keep this in mind when they head out on the road.

On Wednesday, a man was killed in a Washington motorcycle accident near the town of Othello. The terrible collision occurred around 2:15 p.m.

John Mosley, 61, was driving northbound along State Route 17 when his van drifted into oncoming traffic and collided with two southbound motorcycles.

Sadly, 55-year-old Kenneth Owens died at the scene of the accident. A second motorcyclist, Robert Owens, suffered serious injury and was airlifted to Kadlec Medical Center. And, a third motorcyclist suffered only minor injuries after being hit by debris.

Officials say neither drugs nor alcohol contributed to the collision.

We are sorry to learn of this loss and offer our condolences to the victim’s friends and family. We understand that losing a loved family member or friend is an incredibly painful experience.

Whether it be in a car accident or not, the last thing that you and your family want to have to deal with or worry about is legal issues and complications. In an attempt to provide you with much deserved help and assistance, I have co-authored a book with attorney Patrick J. Kang which is a guide for families of Washington wrongful death victims. The book is called, In Case of Death: Straight Talk on Washington Wrongful Death, and is available at no charge to Washington residents by clicking on the preceding link.
