Everett Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Our Everett Washington lawyers help pedestrian accident victims fight for the compensation they deserve.

The reality is all it takes is one negligent driver to forever impact the life of an unsuspecting Everett pedestrian. If you’ve suffered severe injuries due to a driver’s negligence, it is essential to call an Everett pedestrian accident attorney, the professional who can manage your case while providing you with the time to focus on recovering from your injuries.

Why You Need an Everett Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Because a motor vehicle is no match for the fragility of the human body, a pedestrian accident that happens with a moving vehicle is likely to cause extensive — and expensive — injuries that require medical treatment, now and often, at a future date.

Pedestrian injuries may be severe enough to not only miss work temporarily but may require the injured individual to give up a successful, rewarding career. And, while being unable to work may cut off the income you need to meet current obligations, current and mounting medical bills continue to arrive – making matters worse.

An Everett pedestrian accident lawyer from Strong Law Accident and Injury Attorneys has the skills and experience to seek the compensation you deserve for physical, emotional, psychological, and financial damages.

The trauma of your accident or one experienced by a loved one can result in anxiety, stress, and sleepless nights. And while the desire to return to your previous daily as soon as possible is understandable, recovery takes time.

Everett Pedestrian Accidents: Determining Liability

Pedestrians must use care when crossing intersections and in other dangerous situations. Drivers must use the same care. The following are examples of responsibly driving behaviors:

  • Avoiding alcohol or drug use.
  • Obeying Washington and jurisdictional traffic laws.
  • Everyone has a right and responsibility to share the city’s streets and roadways. A driver in and around Everett, WA, is considered negligent when their actions and choices violate Washington state laws regarding pedestrian safety.

Examples of Driver Negligence

The following are often the causes of preventable pedestrian accidents:

  • Driving too fast – above the speed limit.
  • Driving under the influence.
  • Distracted driving.
  • Sleep-deprived driving.
  • Aggressive driving.

A pedestrian accident lawyer evaluates the case and facts of the incident to determine the negligence of the individual who caused the accident and injuries. Pedestrian accidents often occur:

  • At intersections.
  • On sidewalks.
  • At traffic signals.
  • On roadways that have no sidewalks.

An SUV or a Large Truck Can Cause Significant Bodily Harm

Of particular concern are those pedestrian accidents that involve SUVs and trucks. These types of vehicles are bigger and heavier and often cause more significant, extensive, and life-altering:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI).
  • Spinal Cord Injuries.
  • Internal Bleeding.
  • Bone Fractures.

Pedestrian accident victims often face a very long recovery that may include a hospital and rehab stay where the injured person must relearn basic life skills. Certain injuries require the staff at a skilled nursing facility which often costs many thousands of dollars each month – an unaffordable additional monthly obligation for most.

A free case consultation is an essential first step that should be done soon after the incident. If a dangerous driver forever changes your life, get the guidance you need to fight for the compensation you deserve.

Fatal Pedestrian Accidents and Wrongful Death

Unfortunately, some victims of pedestrian accidents do not survive their sustained injuries. Losing a friend or family member – their love, companionship, and potential income because of another’s negligence is a significant and often life-changing moment. And while the responsible party may potentially face criminal charges regarding the incident, a decedent’s family may still pursue civil litigation as a consequence of their actions — independent of the outcome of any criminal lawsuit.

Whether your accident involved your own personal injuries or a tragic loss, an Everett pedestrian accident attorney is ready to help you fight for justice, accountability, and compensation.

Why Choose Us?

At Strong Law Accident & Injury Attorneys, our record of winning 98 percent of our cases speaks for itself. And while each case is different and past outcomes offer no future guarantees, this impressive record of victories provides insight that reveals our professional commitment to the best possible results for our clients.

A pedestrian accident is unexpected and frightening – and often a moment in time that can change the trajectory of your life. Your future becomes less certain, which has the potential to cause great anxiety. You may not be able to return to your previous career, which ultimately affects all facets of your life. However, having an Everett pedestrian accident lawyer representing your interests is a smart way to ease your mind as they take control of the case requirements and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Don not be tempted by an all-too-willing-to-settle insurance adjuster who hopes to make a deal before you reach out for legal advice. The amount offered early on is often a fraction of the case’s value, which may seem helpful in the moment, but shortsighted from a legal perspective – especially if there are future medical needs.

Pedestrian accident injuries may require surgery or even more radical forms of long-term medical care. And while it is not possible to know just how much money a seriously injured pedestrian may need in the future, it is an important part of your pedestrian accident claim.

A legal settlement is a permanent agreement, which is why it is so vital to seek the best possible outcome from the outset. As skilled legal negotiators, our pedestrian accident attorneys will fight for a fair settlement, which, if it cannot be reached, can be brought into a courtroom on your behalf.

At Strong Law Accident & Injury Attorneys, our clients can focus on their recovery and their medical care while our legal professionals focus on their claims. This support becomes invaluable as you learn to navigate a new life path. If your walk turned tragic due to a negligent driver, you might have cause to file an Everett pedestrian accident claim.

“Unbelievable work!”

"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
