Seattle Area Truck Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers
Due to their sheer size, a semi-truck or 18-wheeler can cause far more serious injuries and damage, than an accident with another passenger vehicle. In many truck accidents, victims may suffer broken bones, back and neck injuries, and catastrophic injuries that affect the brain and spinal cord. If you are involved in an accident involving a semi-truck, it is important to contact an experienced attorney who can fight to protect your rights and work to get you the compensation that you deserve.
At Feldman & Lee, P.S., we represent the victims of truck accidents in Lynnwood, Kent, and the surrounding area of Seattle, Washington. Our attorneys have been fighting to protect victims' rights for over 40 years and continue to be a source of comfort and aggressive representation for our clients.
On the many highways and major roads that surround the Seattle area and the Puget Sound, especially the I-5 corridor, I-90 and SR-520 commercial semi-trucks are prevalent and are involved in a high number of accidents involving other drivers. In these cases, it is important that your attorney understands how to establish liability and how to assess damages.
Unlike accidents involving drivers of passenger vehicles, truck drivers depend on a clean commercial driving license (CDL) to maintain driving trucks as their livelihood. If a truck driver is deemed to be the at fault party in their accident, then their CDL could be suspended/revoked. Consequently, truck drivers and their insurance companies attempt to blame the non CDL driver as the negligent party so as to avoid possible CDL consequences. Do not let this happen to you. Contact the Attorneys at Feldman & Lee if you have been injured by a truck driver in an automobile accident.
Truck Accidents and Motor Vehicle Accidents in Washington State
There are many factors to consider in truck accidents that would not necessarily be considered in other motor vehicle accidents. These include:
- Maintenance standards on the truck
- Weight restrictions, overloaded trucks or unbalanced loads
- Driver hiring practices and driving training that is implemented by the commercial trucking company
- Drug testing for commercial truck drivers

All personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. A contingency fee agreement is a formal contract, which stipulates that the client is not responsible for any attorney’s fees unless there is a settlement on the client’s behalf. Please contact one of the attorneys at Feldman & Lee to discuss your case and the contingency fee agreement in further detail.
