I have settled some cases within a month of the accident; I’ve had other accident cases that… [read post]

California is famous for images of palm trees, sunset beaches, majestic mountains, and vineyards. You would think that Californians would be the most relaxed people in the world!

Sunday’s Austin American Statesman had a great article about the increasing number of auto-pedestrian fatalities in Austin. While the bigger trend is for fewer traffic fatalities, the number of auto-pedestrian accidents and fatalities is increasing.
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo has two theories about the increase. One, increased alcohol usage by motorists and pedestrians could explain part of the problem. Additionally, people now have more disregard for pedestrians at… [read post]

I’m sure most of us have heard studies complaining about America’s traffic and how much it costs Americans to sit in congestion. While that’s bad, it’s not nearly the cost of car wrecks.
Earlier this month, the American Automobile Association (AAA) released a study, Crashes v. Congestion — What’s The Cost To Society? The study found that the annual societal cost of car wrecks is $300 billion, more than three times the $98 billion cost of congestion. That comes out to $1,522… [read post]

The Center for Disease Control conducts a survey with high school students every year that questions them about potentially harmful driving habits. This year, they’ve gotten back some very good results, but also some very disheartening results. What’s great news is that the percentage of teens who report not wearing a seatbelt in cars has decreased from 26% in 1991 to 8% in 2011. It’s always a good idea to buckle up, and we’re happy to hear that teens are paying more attention to… [read post]

As a Seattle auto accident attorney, I am an advocate against drinking and driving under any circumstances. Driving under the influence impairs judgment and motor skills that are necessary for operating a vehicle.

The accident occurred on November 12th just after 12a.m. when the driver, Kaylea Souza, tried to pass a car and lost control of her vehicle. This… [read post]

According to new data released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, pedestrian fatality numbers are up by 4% in 2010, compared to 2009. However, these numbers are still 13% lower than they were in 2001. While the number of fatalities have decreased overall, as Seattle car accident attorneys, it is always a concern to see the numbers rising again. 4,280 pedestrians were killed in accidents in 2010 alone. The data reported that, on average, a pedestrian was killed in an… [read post]
