Seattle Injury Law Highlights How a DUI Accident Attorney Can Help Victims Recover Compensation

Seattle, WA - When an accident occurs because the at-fault driver was under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances, victims need to seek justice for their injuries or the wrongful death of their loved one. Seattle Injury Law offers guidance on the legal procedures and how an attorney can hold negligent parties accountable. 

Washington has strict laws against drunk driving, meaning that an offender can lose their driver’s license, even if it’s their first offense. DUIs are gross misdemeanors, and if serious injury/death occurs because of an intoxicated driver, they may face severe criminal penalties. 

Many DUI accidents usually involve alcohol (a BAC higher than .08%), but they can also include recreational drugs, prescription medications, and over-the-counter drugs. Although Washington legalized the use of marijuana, it’s still illegal to operate an automobile if a driver’s THC level is at or higher than 5nanograms.

No matter the cause, DUI accident victims shouldn’t accept the lowball offers insurance companies offer them but contact a personal injury attorney well-versed in local/state laws to pursue at-fault parties for any damages.

A DUI Accident lawyer has specialized knowledge to ensure victims navigate the legal process effectively. They gather evidence such as medical records, police reports, and witness statements to demonstrate the at-fault driver’s liability which is critical for a successful claim. 

With a victim’s medical bills, vehicle repair/replacement costs, pain and suffering, and lost wages, an attorney accurately assesses and quantifies all damages before negotiating with insurance companies. However, if they fail to reach a fair settlement, a DUI accident lawyer represents victims before a judge/jury, presenting a compelling case to secure damages. Additionally, they file all paperwork correctly, observe the statute of limitations, and minimize stress, allowing victims to focus on recovering. 

Seattle Injury Law is a nationally awarded personal injury law firm that has recovered over $200 million for victims in the last 5 years. They handle cases involving severe auto accidents, pedestrian/vehicle collisions, dog/animal attacks, slip and fall incidents, construction site mishaps, insurance misconduct, constitutional excessive force by police, and workplace accidents. 

The attorneys leverage a client-focused approach to personal injury law involving vigorous, energetic engagement throughout a case, maintaining regular contact, and safeguarding interests at the highest level. This and their competitive spirit have earned Seattle Injury Law many glowing reviews. 

“I am expressing my sincere gratitude to Seattle Injury Law and Rob Sears for their exceptional legal support. Their expertise, dedication, and professionalism significantly impacted my case. Thank you for guiding me through this process with skill and empathy...” Joseph, Satisfied Client.
