Semi-Truck Accidents
Busy Washington roads such as I-84, US Highway 395 and the Blue Bridge are dangerous under normal circumstances. When tired and overworked truckers enter the scene, it is a recipe for tragedy. At Reinig, Barber & Henry, we help truck accident victims recover compensation for the hardships they are facing. We have decades of experience handling personal injury claims and are prepared to pursue maximum results for you.
We Investigate Truck Accidents Thoroughly
At Reinig, Barber & Henry, we help victims and those who have lost a loved one file wrongful death actions. When investigating a truck accident case, we will carefully review driver logs and other pertinent information to determine whether driver negligence was involved.
We consider important questions to determine liability and present a strong case for our clients:
- Was the driver speeding?
- Was the truck properly loaded?
- Was the lighting operating properly?
- Were there drugs or alcohol involved?
Our lawyers have worked extensively with commercial line insurance companies and know how to present compelling cases to them on behalf of our clients. Trucking lines are required by law to maintain much higher insurance coverage on their trucks than conventional automobiles. Our experience in this area allows us to take full advantage of this factor to pursue maximum compensation for the medical bills, lost wages, property damage and other hardships our clients face after suffering serious injuries in a truck-related crash.
Motorcycle Accidents
When carelessness on the part of a driver of an automobile causes a motorcycle accident, the motorcyclist deserves compensation under personal injury law. At Reinig, Barber & Henry, we help accident victims recover compensation for the physical, mental and financial hardships they face. We know personal injury law and how to win favorable results for motorcycle riders. You can read about our past wins and positive verdicts.
We Stand Up For Motorcycle Accident Victims
Our firm helps people who have been injured in motorcycle accidents and who have lost loved ones in wrongful death accidents. There are often issues of comparative negligence involved in these accidents, and the opposition may very well try to pin the blame on you.
In Washington, “comparative negligence” essentially means the compensation you recover can be reduced based upon how responsible you were for the accident. For example, if you were 10 percent at fault, then your total compensation would be reduced by 10 percent. We are prepared to counter those tactics on your behalf.
We help motorcycle accident victims seek compensation for their:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property repairs
- Bike replacement
There are special insurance issues that apply to motorcycle accidents, but we are well-versed in the complexities of motorcycle insurance. Also, these accidents typically involve enhanced injuries, including road rash and serious head, neck and back injuries. Our lawyers have extensive experience handling motorcycle accident injury claims and know how to package claims and present compelling cases for our clients. We understand the difficulties you are facing, and we are prepared to seek the compensation you need and deserve.
Bicycle Accidents
The most common type of bicycle accident is a collision with a motor vehicle. Bicycle accidents are most likely to occur in urban areas, during the daylight hours, and on weekends. If you are involved in a bicycle accident, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Even if you do not feel injured, you may have sustained injuries that are not immediately apparent. You should also report the accident to the police.
Bicycle injury law is a complex area of law that can vary from state to state. In general, however, bicycle accident victims may be able to recover damages for their injuries if they can prove that the other party was negligent.
In addition to negligence, bicycle accident victims may also be able to recover damages for their injuries if the other party was reckless or intentional. Reckless conduct is conduct that shows a conscious disregard for the safety of others. Intentional conduct is conduct that is done with the intent to harm another person.
If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. We can help you understand your legal rights and options, and can fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
Pedestrian Accidents
Auto accidents involving pedestrians are a serious problem in the United States. In 2021, there were over 7,000 pedestrian fatalities in the United States, and many more were injured. Pedestrians are disproportionately likely to be killed or injured in car accidents, and they are more likely to suffer serious injuries than drivers.
There are many factors that can contribute to pedestrian accidents, including:
- Driver distraction: Drivers who are distracted by their phones, food, or other activities are more likely to fail to see pedestrians and make a safe stop.
- Speeding: Speeding drivers have less time to react to pedestrians and are more likely to cause serious injuries or fatalities.
- Alcohol impairment: Drivers who are impaired by alcohol are more likely to make poor decisions and fail to yield the right of way to pedestrians.
- Poor road design: Roads that are poorly designed, such as those with narrow sidewalks or no crosswalks, can make it more difficult for pedestrians to cross the street safely.
If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. We can help you understand your legal rights and options, and can fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
