$1.2+M Wrongful Death Settlement

Overview of Case Our client was driving home one evening from work when he came to a stop at a light in Renton. At the same time, an oncoming was approaching and preparing to make a left.

$1.5+M Wrongful Death Settlement

Overview of Case Our two clients were traveling down SR 522 from Bothell with plans to visit their grandkids in Monroe. In certain sections, the road had only one lane in each direction. A car coming from the opposite direction entered our clients’ lane and struck their car head-on. One client died on impact, the other died shortly after.   Proving Roadway Design Negligence We were able to pursue a negligent roadway design case because, in this particular section of SR 522, there were repeated similar collisions at the same curve.  Further,  the state approved the funds to install dividers between the two lanes, yet they were never installed. Had the dividers been installed, the accident never would have happened, and two lives would have been saved.
