Lake Tapps Boating Accident Leaves One Dead l Washington Lawyer

Type: Boating Accident
Date: September 30, 2009, 09/30/09
Location: Lake Tapps
Outcome: 1 dead, 9 injured

Ronald Scott of Bonney Lake died after 2 boats collided in a boating accident on Lake Tapps between Interlake and Inlet islands Monday around 10:30 p.m. 

Nine others were injured in that same crash, and were taken to various hospitals for treatment including Harborview Medical Center, Good Samaritan in Puyallup and Tacoma General Hospital.

A 21-foot Supra struck the back of an 18-foot Bayliner, said Bonney Lake police officer, Tony Rice.  The Supra went over the top of the Bayliner and landed in the water off to the side causing Scott to be pushed into the water. 

Investigators believe speed and alcohol were the cause of this deadly crash and booked a man on suspicion of homicide by watercraft and two counts of watercraft assault.  The incident is still under investigation. 

The family of Ronald Scott and all involved in this tragic accident are in our thoughts and prayers.

We would advise the families involved in this unfortunate accident to contact an attorney experienced in boating accidents as soon as possible to receive compensation and to ensure all negligent parties are held responsible.

2009 National Safe Boating Week l Washington Boating Accident Attorney

While boating is a safe and fun recreational activity enjoyed by thousands every year, in 2009 there may still be more than 600 boating fatalities from boating accidents. With this statistic in mind, the 2009 North American Boating Campaign is again encouraging boaters to “Wear It!” during National Safe Boating Week May 16-22. Wearing a life jacket can make the difference between life and death. According to the most-recently reported official U.S. Coast Guard statistics:

* 90 percent of drowning victims in recreational boating accidents were not wearing a life jacket in 2007.

* Drowning is the reported cause of death in two-thirds of all boating fatalities.

That’s why boating safety advocates continue to push for increased and consistent life jacket wear on the water.

Life jackets are available in a wide variety of compact, lightweight and attractive styles suitable for constant wear. Many are partially or wholly inflatable, and resemble a wide set of suspenders or even a belt pack. Special varieties are made for anglers, hunters, skiers and other sports enthusiasts. One newer style even has a built-in walkie-talkie.

The North American Safe Boating Campaign unites the efforts of a wide variety of boating safety advocates, including NASBLA, the Canadian Safe Boating Council and the many members of the National Safe Boating Council. The campaign is produced under a grant from the Sports Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. Partners hold local events, teach classes, distribute educational materials and perform free Vessel Safety Checks, among other activities.

Sharing the story of how life jackets save lives has the biggest impact when it comes from personal experience. The 2009 “Be a Survivor: Wear It!” contest calls on boaters to share their personal stories about boating accident survival where a life jacket saved the day. This year’s contest is sponsored by West Marine®, the national boating-related products and services retailer. They are donating one grand prize shopping spree worth $1,000 to this year’s winner. Entries will be accepted at www.SafeBoatingCampaign.com or by mail. Details will also be updated on the campaign Web site for 2009.

About the National Safe Boating Council
The National Safe Boating Council represents over 330 U.S. and Canadian organizations committed to reducing boating accidents and enhancing the boating experience. Visit www.SafeBoatingCampaign.com for campaign materials and additional safe boating resources.

Spokane woman's arm severed by boat propeller in boating accident

SPOKANE - After his wife was thrown from their boat, a the driver of a 20-foot ski boat on Newman Lake ran over her and the boat propeller severed her left arm.  The woman was taken to a nearby hospital and was expected to survive.  Apparently the woman was riding on the boat's bow and was thrown into the lake when her husband took a hard turn at about 30 mph.  Her arm, severed below the elbow, sank and emergency crews could not recover it.  Officials say that the boat was "littered with empty beer and wine" containers.

Lake Tapps Boating Incident Proves That Life Jackets Save Lives

LAKE TAPPS – A toddler was rescued and resuscitated after being trapped underneath a boat that was taking on water and then capsized.  Apparently the baby was between the driver's seat and passenger seat but went to the bow of the boat just before it rolled over.  Other nearby boaters rescued the baby and resuscitated him.  He is now fine and back in the arms of his loving family.  Everyone on the boat had a life jacket on.

Boating Fatalities Have Increased in Washington State

SEATTLE, Wa.  The Coast Guard reported on Friday that boating fatalities have increased 13% in Washington state compared with the same period last year.  Of those deaths, 22 people were not wearing life jackets.

So far, in 2008 Washington State leads the nation in boating fatalities.  Alcohol appears to have been involved in a handful of these cases.  Wearing life jackets is not legally required in Washington, but the failure to wear one appears to be a leading contributing factor in boating fatalities.  People should wear a lifejacket as a matter of habit, just like wearing a helmut while bike riding or going on a motorcycle.

Operator error is also a likely contributing factor.  People who are careless or negligent while operating a boat or other water craft can cause serious harm and even death to other passengers.  Children should always wear a lifejacket.  Please don't drink and boat and be careful this summer!

School Bus Safety Awareness Week | Seattle Injury Attorney

October 19-23rd is National School Bus Safety Week, and schools all over the nation are working to ensure the safety of our children.

This year the theme is "Avoid Harm, Obey the Stop Arm," the American School Bus Council believes the theme fits in well with school bus safety and provides the opportunity for drivers to be reminded that they are also responsible in keeping our children safe on the bus and on the roads.

For several years, Washington State Patrol has used an Electronic Vehicle Inspection Report from Zonar Systems, that utilizes RFID technology, to record data and ensure no defects are found on the buses. The EVIR has a 99.98 percent success rate.

Washington State has more than 10,100 school buses and this week in Seattle, demonstrations of the excellent school bus inspection program that keeps more than 500,000 children who ride the buses safe from any defects were shown to the public and media.

According to national school bus accident statistics, since 1990, 1,450 people were killed in school bus accidents, but of those 1,450 people, only 9 percent were riding in the school bus.

Although we take pride in the safety of our buses, it is important to know your options if there is ever an injury on the school bus. If you have any questions regarding a school bus accident or mass transit accident of any kind, it may be in your best interest to speak with an experienced Seattle transit accident lawyer.

Clallam Transit Bus Accident Injures Several People l Washington Lawyer

Type: Bus Accident
Location: Clallam Transit Route No. 14 bus on U.S. Highway 101 west of Port Angeles, Washington.

A Clallam Transit bus driver  Jimie Richmond saved the lives of his passengers when he swerved to avoid an oncoming pickup truck that crossed over the center line. The truck and the bus sill collided, but the driver's quick reaction may have prevented the accident from being much worse.

The bus driver has scrapes, bruises, a broken left leg, lost one tooth, and injured his left hand. Brandon K. Foth, the driver of the pickup truck, suffered serious injuries and is being treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Three bus passengers suffered minor injuries and were treated and released from a local hospital.

In such cases, it would be in the best interest of bus accident victims and/or their families to contact and consult an experienced Washington personal injury lawyer, who will stay on top of the official investigation, sort out the facts of the case, identify the negligent parties and hold them accountable.

Seattle Sound Transit train and car collide l Washington Accident Lawyer

Date: June 29, 2009
Location: Seattle, Washington. Rainier Valley
Type: Mass Transit Accidents
 
A motorist was injured on Monday, June 29th, in a collision with a Sound Transit light-rail train in Rainier Valley, the third incident sine frequent train testing began there this spring. The crash took place just after 5 p.m. next to the Othello light-rail station in Southeast Seattle. The car was heading south and made a left turn, against a red light, from MLK Way onto Myrtle as the train traveled south in the median of MLK. The driver of the car, a man in his 70s, was taken by ambulance to a near by hospital, suffering minor injuries. Emergency crews tore the roof off of his car to remove him.

The train was slowing down to approach the station when it T-boned the car. The crash caused only minor damage to a front panel on the train. The wreck was cleared around 6:30 and the train continued its testing. Sound Transit is testing its trains along the 14-mile route from downtown Seattle to Tukwila, in preparation for service that begins on July 18th.

This is the third incident involving a test train in Rainer Valley, where tracks run in a median at street level. Two of them were crashes with cars, and in one case, a person walked into the train.

Sound Transit officials claim their rail project has improved overall safety on MLK Way, by eliminating two-way left-turn lanes that used to play a major role in motorist and pedestrian injuries. Many think that the rail sections should have crossing gates but sound transit argues that trains are going at the normal traffic speed of 35 mph or less so this would not be necessary. An environmental-impact statement predicted 29 car-train collisions per year, based on data in other cities, but transit officials said actual numbers would be less in Seattle because of improved warning signals and road signs.

Critics of the project urged local politicians not to mix light rail with street traffic, though many U.S. cities, including Portland, run trains along arterial streets.

Man on a Motorized Wheelchair Struck by a Community Transit Bus l Seattle Bus/Pedestrian Attorney

Date: April 7, 2009
Type: Pedestrian Collision, Bus Accident
Location: 20400 block of Marine Drive, Warm Beach, WA

An 86-year-old man in a motorized wheelchair was seriously injured after he was hit by a bus.  Apparently he was crossing the street in a crosswalk when the accident occurred.  The transit bus was turning right onto Marine Drive from the community center when the bus struck the man.  The Warm Beach Senior Community resident was pinned beneath the wheels of a Community Transit bus.  Firefighters used the jaws of life to jack the bus up and pull the man out.  The man was taken by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with life-threatening injuries. Crash detectives from the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office will investigate along with Community Transit officials.

The Davis Law Group has recently taken on the case of a Shorline woman who was in an almost identical collision outside of the senior living facilities of which she is a resident.  It seems that this type of incident is becoming all too common.
