Seattle’s steep hills, dense downtown, bridge choke points and high-speed corridors like Aurora Avenue and Rainier Avenue South produce a steady stream of serious crashes — and some of the state’s worst stretches for pedestrians and cyclists.
Crashes with 18-wheelers, big rigs, delivery trucks and other commercial vehicles are different: the injuries are usually catastrophic, several companies may share liability (driver, carrier, cargo loader, maintenance contractor), and trucking insurers dispatch rapid-response teams to the scene within hours.
If it happened to you or a loved one on Interstate 5, Interstate 90, SR 99 (Aurora Avenue), SR 520 and Rainier Avenue South — or anywhere in Seattle — a truck accident attorney in Seattle from Beverly Law can step in immediately: we preserve the evidence, obtain the police report, deal with every insurance company, and fight for the full compensation the law allows, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and property damage.
