Seattle, Washington Personal Injury Law News & Commentary Blog

Headlines and new stories in Seattle and Western Washington are filled with stories of people who are injured or killed in ‘accidents' resulting from the negligence of irresponsible individuals, corporations and governmental entities that are not acting in the interest of public safety.

Seattle attorney Chris Davis and Davis Law Group have published thousands of blog articles on topics relating to victims' rights and our civil justice system. These articles address cases and issues in personal injury law, such as motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death, defective products, medical malpractice and accidents of all types. These articles focus awareness on the causes, consequences, and prevention of negligent and intentional acts by corporate interests, government entities and individuals.

Why we write blogs about accidents in Washington State

Just like newspapers, our blog reports news. We then go a step further--we provide legal analysis of actual events, based upon the news reports, in order to provide our readers real world insights into their legal rights and legal options. It is our intention to help to preserve the legal rights of accident victims by educating our readers as to what their rights may actually be, what laws may apply, how frequent similar accidents occur, who may be legally at fault, time limits (statute of limitations) for taking action and so on. It is our hope that by doing so, fewer people will lose their rights due to lack of information and more wrongdoers will be held accountable.
