Experienced Seattle Car Accident Attorneys With In-Depth Knowledge of Washington DUI Laws
Our legal team is highly skilled in navigating the complexities of car accident cases involving drunk drivers. DUI-related crashes often involve both criminal and civil proceedings, and having a firm grasp of Washington State’s DUI statutes is essential. With over 30 years of combined experience, we understand how these laws intersect with personal injury claims and know how to leverage them in your favor.
We have deep familiarity with the local court systems, including Seattle Municipal Court and King County Superior Court, allowing us to navigate the system efficiently and effectively.
Personalized Legal Strategies Tailored to Your Specific Accident Case
At Multani Law Group, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every drunk driving accident is different. Some involve catastrophic injuries, while others lead to tragic wrongful death claims. Our attorneys take the time to understand your specific circumstances, investigate the details of your accident, and build a legal strategy that maximizes your chances for success.
We’ll analyze the police report, review medical records, consult with experts when necessary, and investigate the at-fault driver’s history and blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Whether the crash occurred on I-5, near Rainier Avenue, or on the narrow streets of Capitol Hill, we’re prepared to gather the necessary evidence to build a strong case.
No Upfront Costs – We Work on a Contingency Fee Basis
Legal fees should never be a barrier to justice. That’s why we operate on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win or settle your case.
This means there are no upfront legal fees, no hidden charges, and no financial risk. Our interests are aligned with yours: we don’t get paid until you do.
Aggressive Negotiation With the Insurance Company to Secure Maximum Compensation
After a drunk driving accident, the insurance company representing the negligent driver may try to offer a quick settlement — one that doesn’t come close to covering your actual losses. At Multani Law Group, we’ve seen these tactics countless times.
Our Seattle car accident attorneys are skilled negotiators who understand the tricks insurers use. We will handle all communications with insurance adjusters, protect your rights, and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve. If negotiations fail to produce a fair result, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court.
Commitment to Recovering Full Damages for All Losses
Drunk driving accidents can lead to both visible and hidden losses. Our goal is to recover damages that cover every aspect of your recovery — not just your immediate medical expenses, but your long-term needs as well.
We pursue compensation for:
- Emergency and ongoing medical bills
- Long-term care for spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or other serious injuries
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity
- Property damage to your vehicle and other belongings
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and reduced quality of life
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
We collaborate with medical professionals, economic experts, and accident reconstructionists to make sure your personal injury claim reflects the full impact the accident has had on your life.
Drunk Driving Accident Statistics in Seattle
Drunk driving continues to be one of the most dangerous and persistent public safety issues in Seattle and across King County. Updated data from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) and the Seattle Municipal Court illustrates how prevalent and damaging impaired driving remains throughout the region.
- According to the Washington Traffic Safety Commission’s 2023 Report to the Legislature, impaired drivers were involved in nearly half of all traffic fatalities across Washington State in recent years. In King County, impaired driving remains one of the top contributing factors in deadly crashes, especially among wrong-way drivers and high-speed collisions.
- Between 2017 and 2022, King County recorded 51 wrong-way driving crashes involving impaired motorists, as reported in WTSC’s Wrong-Way Drivers Legislative Report (2023). These incidents are frequently catastrophic due to head-on impacts, and many occurred on Seattle’s major roads and highways, including I-5 and SR-99.
- The WTSC’s 2023 Traffic Fatalities Summary revealed that traffic deaths in Washington reached their highest levels in over three decades, with over 750 fatalities statewide in 2022. A significant portion of these were linked to alcohol or drug impairment.
- Locally, the Seattle Municipal Court consistently lists Driving Under the Influence (DUI) among the top 10 criminal charges filed each year. This reinforces that DUI behavior is not only a statewide concern, but also a major issue within Seattle city limits.
These figures emphasize the importance of working with a Seattle drunk driving accident attorney who understands the local laws, traffic patterns, and litigation environment. At Multani Law Group, our legal team is prepared to hold negligent drivers accountable and help victims pursue the full compensation they deserve for medical bills, property damage, emotional distress, and more.
