Broken Bones

The award-winning pedestrian accident lawyers at Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers have successfully recovered a $1,250,000 settlement on behalf of a man who was seriously injured in a motor vehicle vs. pedestrian collision that occurred in Everett in 2023.

Our client suffered a fractured skull, compound fracture to his right arm, broken pelvis, and a number of other serious injuries.

In addition to the victim’s initial hospitalization at Providence in Everett, he required several surgeries and was hospitalized for more than one month as a result of this serious accident. He was also later diagnosed with a major traumatic brain injury (TBI), which resulted in a loss of taste and other senses.

Details and Circumstances Surrounding Everett Pedestrian Accident

Officers with the Everett Police Department arrived at the scene of the collision at the intersection of SE Everett Mall Way and SR 526 Boeing Freeway just before midnight on December 8^th, 2023.

Investigators found a severely injured pedestrian lying in the bushes at the northwest side of the intersection. Everett Fire Medics were in the process of loading the victim onto a backboard, and the officer noted a significant gash on his abdominal area. It was discovered that the driver of the vehicle which struck the man had fled the scene of the accident without identifying themselves.

Officers found and collected evidence at the scene, including numerous car parts, personal belongings, and a pair of shoes scattered around the scene, indicating a high-impact collision.

Hit-and-Run Driver Flees, Then Returns to Scene

EPD Officers located a witness at a separate location who provided initial statements about the incident. Meanwhile, the driver of the vehicle which had previously fled returned to the scene shortly after the investigation began.

The driver of the at-fault vehicle claimed they were traveling westbound on State Route 527, transitioning onto SR 526 towards Mukilteo. The driver claimed to have attempted to swerve to avoid a collision, but that it was too late to avoid striking the pedestrian.

Upon inspecting the vehicle in question, the investigating officer observed substantial damage on the passenger side of the vehicle, specifically on the front bumper, fender, mirror, and windshield. The collision had also caused the passenger side turn signal light, side mirror, and windshield wiper to go missing.

Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers’s team of attorneys negotiated with the hit-and-run driver’s insurance company over the period of several months to determine the level of insurance coverage that might be available to cover our client’s mounting medical bills and other damages.

Initially, the insurance company attempted to blame our client for the accident and denied liability. However, we were able to prove that the driver was negligent in striking our client and leaving him seriously injured at the scene. Ultimately, we were able to recover the full policy limits of $1.25 Million for our client.
