Frequently Asked Questions

Answers for injured pedestrians and cyclists across Bellingham, Skagit, and Snohomish counties.

  • What should I do after being hit by a vehicle?

    Seek medical attention immediately—even if your injuries seem minor. Call the police, document the scene if it’s safe to do so, and avoid speaking to insurance adjusters until you’ve spoken with a personal injury attorney.

    Start the Conversation
  • Can I still file a claim if I wasn’t in a crosswalk?

    Yes. In Washington State, pedestrians and cyclists have rights, even outside marked crosswalks. We’ll review the details of your case and determine how to move forward under state traffic and liability laws.

    Talk to Your Advocate
  • What if the driver fled the scene?

    If you were injured in a hit-and-run, you may still have options. We can help you file an uninsured motorist claim through your own insurance, or investigate alternate paths to compensation. Don’t assume you’re out of options.

    Request a Case Review
  • Do I need a lawyer for a bike or pedestrian accident claim?

    Yes. These cases often involve serious injuries, unclear liability, or uncooperative insurance companies. An attorney helps you understand your rights, build a strong case, and maximize compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and long-term care.

  • How long do I have to file a claim in Washington?

    Generally, you have three years to file a personal injury claim—but early legal action improves your odds. We can help gather critical evidence before it’s lost or overwritten.
