9 year old Everett girl hit by stolen car | Everett car accident attorney

The man eventually turned himself in to police and is being held at the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of felony hit-and-run and first-degree kidnapping and possibly car theft charges.

In a pedestrian / car accident case like this, it is unlikely that the at fault driver had insurance to cover the injuries to the girl.  The car owner is also not responsible since the car was stolen.  Therefore, you will need to find out if the girl's parents had uninsured motorist (UM) coverage for the bodily injury claim and personal injury protection (PIP) coverage to pay for medical bills.

At the Andrew Kim Law Firm, we handle cases involving a pedestrian hit by cars or other vehicles in a marked or unmarked crosswalk and intersection.  Call us toll free at 1-800-636-3676 for a free consultation.

Everett Sound Transit bus accident injures pedestrian | Everett personal injury attorney

A 44-year-old pedestrian was seriously injured by a Sound Transit bus in Everett on February 20, 2009 at the intersection of Pacific and Wetmore Avenues just before 5 pm.  It was not clear if the Everett man was in the crosswalk at the time of the bus accident, and Everett police will review a bus-camera video to help determine the cause of the accident.

The man was taken to Providence Medical Center in Everett and then airlifted later to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where he was recovering.


There are many facts and circumstances that may affect whether an injured pedestrian can file a claim against the driver of the bus.  Whether the pedestrian was in the marked or unmarked crosswalk, whether there was a pedestrian traffic control device, lighting conditions, weather conditions, visibility of the pedestrian, point of impact of the collision, attention of the driver, etc.

Call us the Andrew Kim Law Firm, PLLC to help you sort through all facts and details and gather the evidence before it's too late.  We can be reached at 1-800-636-3676 for a free initial consultation.
