Car accident injury lawyer wa

When a Washington resident set out for work one August morning, they never expected the day would end in a life-altering car crash—and a long, painful road to recovery. After being struck head-on by a vehicle that crossed the center line, the accident victim suffered extensive injuries, both physical and emotional. But thanks to the team at Seattle Injury Law, they ultimately received a $1.1 million settlement to help restore their life.

A Violent Crash With Lasting Effects

The client was driving a commercial vehicle in Snohomish County when another driver veered into oncoming traffic, colliding with them head-on. The other driver tragically lost their life in the crash, while the client survived with serious injuries, including spinal damage, chronic pain, and psychological trauma.

In the months that followed, the client underwent extensive treatment: chiropractic care, physical therapy, neurological evaluations, and pain management. Diagnostic imaging revealed multiple spinal disc injuries and nerve impingement. In addition, the client experienced post-traumatic stress symptoms such as poor sleep, mood changes, and flashbacks—leading to a diagnosis of PTSD.

Overcoming Legal and Insurance Challenges

Seattle Injury Law immediately stepped in to help navigate the complex legal and insurance landscape. From coordinating care across numerous providers to documenting medical progress, wage loss, and emotional trauma, the firm ensured every aspect of the case was thoroughly prepared and presented.

One of the key challenges was securing the full amount available from both the liability and underinsured motorist (UM) policies. The firm successfully recovered the full $100,000 liability policy limit from the at-fault driver and an additional $1 million from the client’s UM coverage—totaling $1.1 million in compensation.

Along the way, the firm also negotiated reductions on outstanding medical bills and managed subrogation claims from third parties, helping maximize the client’s net recovery.
