Seattle 18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys
Seattle is a major Pacific gateway for trade. Interstate 5 runs the length of the region, I-90 heads east over the mountains, and the ports of Seattle and Tacoma generate a heavy flow of container and drayage trucks.
Squeezed between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, the region's limited corridors stay congested, and that mix of port freight and commuter traffic makes serious truck collisions common. If you were injured by a commercial truck in the Seattle area, a lawyer experienced in Washington trucking cases can help.
Washington Law and Your Seattle Claim
Washington follows pure comparative negligence, so you can recover even if you were partially at fault, with your award reduced by your share. That gives injured people a path to recovery in many truck crashes.
Federal rules on driver hours, maintenance, and inspections apply to interstate carriers, and the records they require can be decisive evidence. Washington generally allows three years to file a personal injury claim.

Seattle — The City We're Proud to Serve
Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest, home to about 750,000 residents and a metro area of more than 4 million on the shores of Puget Sound.
It is a global technology hub — home to Amazon, with Microsoft in neighboring Redmond and Boeing's regional roots — alongside a major maritime and shipping economy.
The ports of Seattle and Tacoma, together with the I-5 and I-90 corridors hemmed in by water and mountains, concentrate heavy truck traffic in congested conditions, making serious 18-wheeler crashes a real danger. It is a city we are proud to serve.
