Motorcyclist Hospitalized after Crash near Lower Queen Anne

Updated on: 11/18/2019

A man was seriously injured in motorcycle accident with another vehicle near the intersection of 1^st Avenue North and Denny Way in Seattle Thursday afternoon.

Witnesses reported seeing a man riding his motorcycle on Denny Way just after 5 p.m. Thursday when a blue sedan took a right-hand turn directly in front of the motorcyclist, potentially cutting him off. The maneuver may have forced the motorcycle to strike the passenger's side of the car.

One witness said the impact left a large dent in the passenger's side door of the vehicle and that there was blood left on the vehicle.

Emergency crews responded to the scene within minutes of the collision, where they found the motorcyclist unconscious and not moving. The man was presumably transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

From a legal standpoint, it is extremely important that the collection of evidence and gathering of witness statements is not delayed after an accident that involves a serious injury. The preservation of evidence and statements from eyewitnesses can be some of the most important factors when pursuing a personal injury claim after a life-changing accident.

It is typically in the best interests of accident victims to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney before certain time limitations have the opportunity to negatively impact the claim.
