Seattle, WA Practice Areas
As the largest city in the state of Washington, Seattle is part of a bustling metropolitan area with a population over four million and rising. Commercial traffic and maritime trade meet daily commuters, bikers, and pedestrians on the metro’s highways and city streets. Seattle’s burgeoning construction, maritime, and railroad industries employ hundreds of thousands of workers in high-risk jobs. Patients in Seattle’s busy hospitals depend on busy doctors and nursing staff to provide attentive, consistent care.
With so many people in one area, even the most cautious person can suffer an injury due to someone else’s negligence or carelessness. If you or a loved one suffered a personal injury in Seattle, whether from a motor vehicle accident, workplace incident, medical malpractice, or other cause, the personal injury attorneys at Herschensohn Law can help you pursue justice and fair compensation for your injuries.

Our team has successfully sought compensation for a variety of injuries, including:
Car accidents
Car accidents are often the result of negligent behavior on the road. Some people text and drive, others drive while intoxicated. Even speeding can be reckless or negligent, and it can result in piles of medical bills and painful injuries. When other people’s dangerous decisions on the road cause a crash, injured people shouldn’t have to worry about how get back on their feet. The Herschensohn Law team stands up for injured people and their families, handling all types of car and vehicle crashes in Kent, Washington and the greater Seattle area.

Motorcycle accidents
Motorcycle injuries and fatalities represent a significant amount of traffic statistics in Washington state, according to data from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. The lack of protection and the smaller size make motorcycles more susceptible to severe or deadly injuries.
We get it, there’s nothing like the feeling of you, your bike, and the open road. But when another driver’s mistake causes a serious injury, Zach Herschensohn and his team are ready to stand up for you.

Truck accidents
Semi-trucks are one of the most dangerous vehicles on the road, because they’re so much larger than the average passenger vehicle. With almost 30 drivers involved in fatal truck accidents in King County in 2021 alone, Seattle residents may be worried about paying for their bills and getting their lives back.
Trucking comes with state and federal regulations that are a headache for the average accident victim. Trying to juggle these complex laws while dealing with your physical and mental health is particularly challenging. However, you are not alone.
