Washington Trucking Accident FAQs
Why are the laws in Washington surrounding trucking accidents different from other vehicle accidents?
Because many trucking accidents involve large vehicles and most are carrying commercial loads, the laws surrounding their operations are much different than normal vehicles.
The size and weight of a truck is usually much bigger than other vehicles and the truck needs to maintain a safe speed at all times. The roads and highways around Seattle, Tacoma, and Bellingham are unique in the country, as are conditions throughout Washington, and drivers should have significant experience.
How much does your law firm charge for Seattle trucking accident cases?
Our Seattle Washington truck accident law firm offers free consultations to anyone regarding their trucking related accident in Washington. Most of our truck accident lawsuits are handled by contingent fees which are a small, pre-set amount of a successfully won award.
Because we offer contingent fees our clients do not pay us until we win their case. If we don't win their case these contingent fees are not due to us. There are never any hidden fees or costs for a Washington trucking accident lawyer from our firm.
