Distracted Driving Accident Lawyers in Seattle, Washington

Providing Legal Representation to Victims of Negligent Driving

In Washington State, it is against the law to text and drive or to engage in hand-held communication of any kind while operating a vehicle. And yet, texting while driving is a fairly common sight on the streets of Seattle, as is talking into a hand-held cell phone.

These may sound like innocent transgressions to some, but they are not.

Every day, an average of about nine people are killed as a result of driver distraction. Distracted drivers are responsible for nearly a million accidents annually; those accidents result in an average of 3,000 deaths a year and thousands more instances of personal injury.

At Khan Injury Law, our award-winning legal team aims to provide accident victims with compassionate legal care as we attempt to hold those at fault to account and help you recover the compensation you deserve.
