Why Choose Boohoff Law, P.A. for Your Seattle Motorcycle Accident Claim
A motorcycle accident case is fundamentally different from a car wreck. It involves more severe injuries, complex accident scenes, and a deep-seated bias against riders. You need a legal team that respects the riding community and knows how to defeat insurance companies’ unfair tactics.
We provide dedicated and aggressive representation focused on getting you the best possible result. Our history of success is built on a foundation of trust, relentless advocacy, and an in-depth understanding of Washington motorcyclists’ challenges.
The insurance company looks for ways to blame you from the moment an accident happens. They use stereotypes to portray riders as reckless, arguing that they were speeding, weaving through traffic, or otherwise at fault. This is a deliberate strategy to deny or reduce your claim.
We aggressively counter this bias with facts. We use evidence, expert testimony, and a deep knowledge of state law to prove what really happened.
We show that it was the car driver’s distraction, negligence, or failure to yield that caused your injuries, not your choice to ride a motorcycle.
Our attorneys understand the specific dangers you face, from the slick roads after a constant drizzle to the poorly maintained pavement and potholes on neighborhood streets. We know how Seattle’s geography and weather contribute to accidents, and we use that understanding to your advantage.
We know the challenges of navigating the heavy commuter traffic on I-5, the frantic pace of Mercer Street, and the blind corners on roads in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill and Ballard.
Our team handles cases arising from crashes on the West Seattle Bridge, the Aurora Bridge, and SR 99. We use our local knowledge to build a powerful and detailed case.
Motorcycle accidents rarely result in minor injuries. Without the protection of a steel frame, riders absorb the full force of a collision. We have extensive experience handling cases involving the most severe and life-altering injuries.
We understand the long-term consequences of traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe road rash, and amputations. Boohoff Law, P.A. can hire medical experts and life care planners to document the true cost of your injuries over a lifetime.
If a negligent driver injured you, you need a law firm that understands your fight. Let our Seattle personal injury attorneys be your advocates. Contact Boohoff Law, P.A. at (877) 999-9999 to start with your free case review.
Most motorcycle accidents happen when the driver of a passenger car fails to be careful. They’re often distracted, impatient, or simply fail to look for smaller vehicles on the road. We have experience holding these negligent drivers accountable for all types of careless actions.
The most common causes we see include:
The financial, physical, and emotional costs of a serious motorcycle accident are immense. The responsible driver’s insurance company should pay for every loss you have suffered.
Washington law allows you to pursue payment for both your financial losses and the profound human cost of your injuries. Your Seattle motorcycle accident lawyer will meticulously document your damages to build a comprehensive demand for full compensation.
Your claim includes compensation for your economic damages, which are your direct financial losses. It also includes non-economic damages, which address the personal human cost of your injuries.
We fight to recover compensation for:
From the moment you hire our firm, your job is to focus on the road to recovery. Our job is to manage every detail of your legal battle. We take on the full responsibility of your claim, from investigating the crash to fighting the insurance company.
Our team’s Seattle motorcycle injury lawyers act as your shield and your champion. We handle all communications, file all necessary paperwork on time, and build a robust case to get you maximum compensation for your losses.
A strong case is built on substantial evidence. We conduct our own thorough and independent investigation into your accident. We go beyond the initial police report to find the facts that prove the other driver’s fault.
This process often involves:
A fair result begins with a complete and accurate accounting of every loss you have suffered. The severe nature of motorcycle injuries means we must account for not just your current medical bills, but also the potential for a lifetime of future needs.
Our comprehensive approach is key to securing a recovery that truly provides for your future.
Once we have built your case and calculated the full value of your claim, we take the fight directly to the insurance company. We present a detailed and comprehensive demand package that lays out the other driver’s fault and the true extent of your catastrophic injuries.
Your Seattle motorcycle accident lawyer then aggressively negotiates, armed with the facts. We make it clear that we will reject any lowball offer that ignores the long-term impact of your injuries.
We’re always ready and willing to argue your case before a jury in King County to pursue the fair and just compensation you need.
After a crash, several specific state laws will directly impact your ability to recover compensation. Insurance companies use these rules to their advantage. An experienced Seattle motorcycle crash attorney knows how to navigate this legal framework to protect your rights.
The law gives you a limited time to pursue a legal claim after an accident. Washington’s statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally three years from the crash. This deadline is extremely strict.
If you fail to file a lawsuit within this period, the court will bar you from ever seeking compensation for your injuries, regardless of how strong your case is. Certain claims, such as those against a government entity for a hazardous road, have even shorter and more complex notice requirements.
Act quickly and contact a Seattle motorcycle accident lawyer to protect your claim.
Washington follows a pure comparative fault rule. This means you may still recover compensation even if you’re partially at fault for the accident. However, your final compensation award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
For instance, if a jury finds you were 10% responsible for the crash, your total award would be reduced by 10%.
Insurance companies use this rule aggressively against motorcyclists. They’ll try to argue that you were speeding or otherwise careless to assign you a percentage of blame and reduce the amount they have to pay.
Our job is to fight these unfair tactics and use the evidence to place the fault squarely on the negligent driver.
Washington requires all motorcycle riders and passengers to wear a helmet. If you weren’t wearing one, the insurance company will likely argue that your head or brain injury would have been less severe if you had complied with the law.
While this may affect the value of your TBI claim, it doesn’t prevent you from recovering compensation for your other injuries, like broken bones or road rash.

The “I didn’t see you” defense is common, but it’s not an excuse for negligence. Drivers have a legal duty to see what is there to be seen.
We fight this defense by using evidence like witness statements, the location of the vehicle damage, and the analysis of accident reconstruction experts to prove you were visible and that the driver simply wasn’t paying attention or failed to yield the right-of-way.
If a dangerous road condition, such as a large pothole, unmarked construction zone, or gravel spill, caused your accident, you may have a claim against the government agency responsible for maintaining the road.
These cases are complex and have very strict and short notice deadlines. Contact a Seattle motorcycle accident lawyer immediately to investigate the matter and protect your rights.
You need a Seattle motorcycle crash attorney because these claims involve severe and complex injuries, a significant and unfair bias against riders, and unique evidence challenges.
Lawyers know how to combat the stereotypes, demonstrate the physics of the crash, and present a compelling case to an insurance company or a jury.
Yes, your damaged bike and gear are part of your claim. The at-fault driver is responsible for compensating you for all your property damage, not just your medical bills. This includes the full cost of either repairing or replacing your motorcycle in its pre-accident condition.
It also includes the replacement value of all your damaged riding gear, including your helmet, jacket, leathers, boots, gloves, and any custom parts or accessories on your bike. We make sure the insurance company doesn’t undervalue your property.
If the at-fault driver fled the scene, you typically file your claim with your own insurance company through your Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. This is a part of your own policy designed to protect you when you’re injured by a driver who is uninsured or cannot be found.
Our attorneys can help you navigate the process of filing a UMUIM claim and fight to get you the full benefits under your policy.
Your passion for riding shouldn’t be used as a weapon against you by an insurance company. You were the victim of another driver’s negligence, and you have a right to seek full and fair compensation.
At Boohoff Law, P.A., we’re proud to stand with the Seattle riding community and fight for the justice you need. Let us be your shield and your advocate. We will handle the entire legal battle so you can put all of your energy into the road to recovery.
