We’ll get you on the road to recovery.

Anyone who has experienced a motor vehicle collision knows that it is a traumatic experience. The recovery that follows can be equally as challenging emotionally, physically and financially.

Whether the accident involves a car, motorcycle, semi truck or other commercial vehicle, bicycle, or other form of transportation, you have the right to take legal action against the responsible party. Making crucial determinations regarding liability, motor vehicle regulations, medical injuries, and billing issues, require the expertise of an attorney with specific knowledge of motor vehicle collision law.

Below are a few important things to know about certain types of traffic collision. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries in a motor vehicle collision, whether listed here or not, speak with one of our experienced attorneys today to ensure that your legal rights are fully assessed and protected.

Automobile Collisions

With an accident occurring every 10 seconds somewhere in the United States, it’s no surprise that automobile collisions give rise to the majority of personal injury claims in Washington State.

GLP successfully argued the landmark Hamm case before the Washington State Supreme Court, which later resulted in making state law that every motor vehicle accident attorney in Washington relies on, and every insurance company has to follow.

Also, our own John Graham wrote the book on handling car accident cases. Crash Course 101 details the insights gained through his years of experience. It is an invaluable resource to accident victims and attorneys alike. Email us if you would like a free copy.

Bicycle Accidents

Many people in Washington State ride bikes for commuting and recreation. Unfortunately, whether due to inattention or simple lack of respect for bike riders, drivers often fail to give bikes their share of the road and severe injury or death occurs.

GLP attorneys have helped many injured bicyclists, including a young woman who was hit by a car while riding on the Burke-Gilman trail. Her case resolved for the largest reported settlement amount in Washington State history for a fractured ankle.

Motorcycle Accidents

From limited insurance coverage to bias from jurors deciding their case, motorcycle riders face unique challenges when it comes to seeking fair compensation. Motorcycle accidents often cause serious or fatal injuries, yet many motorcycle insurance policies do not provide medical coverage such as personal injury protection, leaving the injured rider with limited financial resources to obtain initial treatment. Our attorneys and staff are highly skilled at investigating and handling motorcycle accidents and associated insurance coverage issues to ensure that the injured rider recovers fully from his or her injuries and receives full compensation.

Trucking Injury

Trucking cases involve different rules and regulations, which are in place to assure safety and to hold drivers accountable when they are negligent. These cases cannot be treated like a simple car accident, and must be handled by attorneys who understand trucking.

GLP has resolved many trucking accident cases, including one which resolved in 2011 for the insurance policy limits of $1M, after the insurance company had initially denied any coverage at all.
