Why Choose Multani Law Group to Be Your Drowsy Driving Accident Lawyer in Seattle?
Deep Local Insight into Seattle’s Roads and Risks
At Multani Law Group, we don’t just practice law in Washington—we understand the pulse of Seattle. From the notoriously congested I-5 corridor to the unpredictable traffic flow on Aurora Avenue, we know where drowsy driving accidents are most likely to occur. Whether it’s late-night rideshares near Capitol Hill, exhausted commuters on the Ballard Bridge, or fatigued drivers exiting I-90 into downtown, our familiarity with local traffic patterns gives us an edge in case investigation and liability analysis. This local insight helps us build stronger, faster, and more effective claims for Seattle clients.
Over 30 Years of Combined Experience in Auto Accident and Injury Law
Our team has spent over three decades standing up for accident victims across Washington State. That includes hundreds of cases involving serious injuries, wrongful death, and drowsy driving accidents. We know how to gather compelling evidence, anticipate defense tactics, and deal with insurance adjusters who try to minimize or deny your claim. Our experience ensures we can pursue fair compensation—whether through negotiation or litigation.
No Fees Unless We Win—Guaranteed
We believe access to justice shouldn’t depend on your financial situation. That’s why we offer legal representation on a contingency fee basis—meaning you don’t pay us unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs and no hidden fees. Our goal is to make sure you can focus on your recovery, not your finances.
Boutique Firm with Personalized Legal Attention
Unlike high-volume firms where your case might get passed around or lost in the shuffle, Multani Law Group delivers hands-on, personalized service. When you choose us, you work directly with our experienced attorneys, including Jashan Multani, who will stay in communication with you throughout the legal process. We limit the number of cases we take so that every client receives the attention and time they deserve. You’re not just a case file—you’re our priority.
Compassionate Representation That Puts Clients First
We know the physical, financial, and emotional toll that a motor vehicle accident can take—especially when it’s caused by something as preventable as driver fatigue. Whether you’re suffering from soft tissue injuries, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, or emotional distress, we treat your experience with the seriousness it deserves. From the moment you contact us for a free case evaluation, we’re here to listen, advise, and advocate for your recovery—every step of the way.
Drowsy Driving Accident Statistics in Seattle
Drowsy driving remains a serious concern in Seattle and across Washington State. According to the Washington State Strategic Highway Safety Plan (Target Zero), between 2015 and 2017, drowsy driving contributed to 44 fatalities and 236 serious injuries statewide. These figures represent 13% and 8% increases, respectively, compared to the 2012–2014 period. However, the report emphasizes that drowsy driving is likely underreported, as drivers often hesitate to admit they fell asleep before a crash.
Nationally, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that from 2017 to 2021, approximately 17.6% of all fatal crashes in the U.S. involved a drowsy driver—accounting for nearly 30,000 deaths. This is significantly higher than previously estimated, highlighting the widespread and underestimated nature of drowsy driving.
In Seattle specifically, certain lifestyle and urban factors contribute to elevated fatigue-related crash risks:
- 24/7 Work Culture: With tech hubs, hospitals, and logistics centers operating round the clock, many Seattleites face irregular or overnight shifts that disrupt healthy sleep cycles.
- Long Commutes: Seattle’s dense traffic, especially on I-5, I-90, and SR-520, leads to longer drives and higher fatigue levels.
- Urban Stop-and-Go Traffic: The city’s frequent traffic lights and congestion can contribute to a hypnotic driving environment, especially late at night.
Understanding these risks is vital for reducing the toll of fatigue-related collisions and protecting Seattle’s drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
