Seattle Truck Accident Attorneys
Handling Semi-Truck Injury Claims in Kent, Federal Way, Redmond, Des Moines, and Tukwila
Commercial trucks pose a serious danger to drivers, as they are the largest vehicles on the road. With their enormous size, length, and weight, a collision with a semi-truck typically causes significant damage and can result in severe or even catastrophic injuries.
Truck accident victims often face overwhelming physical, emotional, and financial hardships. While no one can undo the damage caused by a serious accident, our personal injury attorneys at Bishop Legal can pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future medical needs, and other losses caused by the collision.
Trucking companies and their insurers invest significant resources in defending against claims and denying responsibility. Our firm has been representing drivers and passengers with claims involving truck crashes for more than 30 years, and we know what is needed to pursue maximum compensation for our clients. We conduct thorough investigations and gather essential documentation to demonstrate negligence and damages.
We do not charge a fee unless we help you recover compensation. We are also standing by 24/7 to take your call.

Common Truck Accident Injuries
Truck accidents are among the most devastating types of vehicle collisions on the road, often resulting in severe, life-altering injuries. Commercial trucks take longer to stop and have larger blind spots, increasing the likelihood of high-speed or catastrophic collisions. Occupants of smaller vehicles bear the brunt of the force in these crashes, and the complexity of truck accident dynamics, including rollover risks, jackknifing, and underride collisions, further contributes to the severity of the injuries sustained.
Our Seattle truck accident lawyers can help you pursue compensation if you suffered any of the following types of injuries in a collision that wasn’t your fault:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). TBIs are common in truck accidents due to the significant forces involved. A severe impact to the head, caused by striking a window, steering wheel, or other hard surfaces, can lead to bruising, bleeding, or swelling of the brain. The long-term consequences of TBIs can include memory loss, cognitive impairments, motor skill deficits, and emotional changes, such as depression or irritability. Victims may require extensive rehabilitation and, in the most severe cases, might never fully recover their previous abilities.
- Spinal cord injuries. Spinal cord injuries can result from the sudden jolt or twisting motion during a collision, or from direct trauma to the back. These injuries may cause partial or total paralysis, depending on the location and severity of the damage. Victims often face a lifetime of physical therapy, assistive devices, and substantial medical expenses. Quadriplegia or paraplegia can drastically alter someone’s quality of life and their ability to perform daily activities.
- Broken bones. The immense force of a truck accident can easily shatter bones, particularly in the arms, legs, ribs, and pelvis. Fractures can range from simple, clean breaks to complex compound fractures that require surgical intervention. Recovery may be lengthy, involving immobilization, physical therapy, and even permanent complications like reduced mobility or chronic pain.
- Internal injuries. These injuries result from the immense pressure placed on the body during the collision or from sharp objects penetrating the torso. Internal bleeding often requires immediate surgical attention and can be life-threatening if left untreated. Even after recovery, victims may face lingering complications, including reduced organ function and ongoing health issues.
- Burn injuries. Fuel spills and fires are more prevalent in truck accidents due to the vehicles' size and complexity. Victims exposed to flames or hot surfaces may suffer severe burns, which can lead to disfigurement, infections, and nerve damage. Treatment is often long and painful, involving skin grafts, surgeries, and extensive follow-up care to manage pain and reduce scar tissue. Burn victims may also face psychological struggles as they adjust to changes in their appearance.
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries. Whiplash injuries occur when the neck is thrust forcefully back and forth in a sudden, jerking motion, a common occurrence in rear-end collisions with trucks. Soft tissue injuries, such as torn ligaments, muscles, and tendons, are also prevalent. While these injuries may seem less serious initially, they can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and long-term discomfort if not properly treated.
