$3 Million Settlement: Bellevue Pedestrian Hit by Metro Bus
The Quick Law Group team secured a $3 million settlement for a man who was struck in a downtown Seattle crosswalk by a city bus that ran a red light. Our client sustained a traumatic brain injury and suffered permanent balance issues.
This case involved extensive litigation and video evidence. Our pedestrian accident lawyers fought to show how system-wide pressures placed on transit drivers contributed to this preventable tragedy.
When Drivers Ignore the Rules Pedestrians Pay the Price
Washington law requires drivers to stop for pedestrians in marked crosswalks and at intersections. Still, every year in Bellevue, people on foot are injured or killed by motorists who:
- Fail to yield the right of way
- Run red lights or stop signs
- Drive while distracted or texting
- Speed through high-traffic pedestrian areas
- Drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol
These violations are life-altering acts of negligence. Were you or a loved one hit by a vehicle under similar conditions? Our team can step in and help.
Common Pedestrian Injuries We Handle
Pedestrian accidents often involve catastrophic harm due to the lack of protection. Our Bellevue pedestrian injury lawyers frequently work with medical experts and life care planners in cases involving:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Internal organ damage
- Fractures and complex orthopedic injuries
- Crush injuries or loss of limb
- Wrongful death and fatal injuries
Our lawyers will coordinate closely with a carefully selected network of medical professionals to document the full scope of your injuries. We won’t allow the defense to minimize what you’ve been through.
Don’t Wait to Act or You Could Lose Your Right to Sue
In Washington, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims (including pedestrian accidents) is three years from the date of the incident. If you don’t file your claim in time, the court will likely refuse to hear it.
Exceptions may apply, but every day you wait, you put your case at risk. The sooner you speak with our Bellevue pedestrian accident lawyer, the better we’re able to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Frequently Asked Questions for Our Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Bellevue, WA
Do pedestrians always have the right of way?
Not always, but Washington law heavily favors pedestrian safety. Drivers are required to stop at crosswalks and must exercise caution even in unmarked crossings. A driver may be found negligent if they fail to yield or act carelessly.
What if I was partially at fault?
Washington follows a comparative fault rule. Even if you were partially responsible for an accident where you were injured, you can still recover compensation, though your award may be reduced based on your share of the fault.
The driver who hit me left the scene. What now?
If you were involved in a hit-and-run, we may be able to file a claim through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage or track down the driver through traffic cams, witnesses, and investigative tools. Fleeing the scene shows an egregious level of negligence. We’ll be prepared to pursue the maximum compensation available.
What does it cost to hire Quick Law Group?
It will cost you nothing upfront and nothing unless we win. We offer free consultations to injured pedestrians, and we only get paid if we secure a settlement or award.
Standing With Pedestrians Against Careless Drivers
“Liz Quick is a brilliant trial attorney. I was the plaintiff in my case and I remember sitting in that courtroom thinking “She is incredible!” She operated with such ease and such confidence in what she was doing that I just couldn’t be anything less than in total awe of her. She also was amazingly pleasant to just be around. When you are feeling as vulnerable as I felt during during the trial, having someone on your side like Liz meant so much.”
