In January 2008 a Seattle woman was crossing the Seattle in a marked crosswalk when a Metro bus failed to see her.  The Metro's mirror hit the woman in the head during this tragic Seattle crosswalk pedestrian accident.  The woman in addition to suffering a brain injury in the crosswalk accident also suffered a badly broken arm.  As a Kirkland Crosswalk Accident Attorney and Seattle Pedestrian Accident Lawyer I see this kind of accident too often.

Drivers can become distracted by any number of things and fail to see a pedestrian, bicycle or even motorcycle on the roadway.  The woman in this Seattle crosswalk accident was Ree Ah Bloedow, she is 45 years old and has suffered a significant brain injury.  She is no longer able to work in her chosen career.  Prior to the 2008 Seattle pedestrian accident she was a staff attorney with the Department of Health and Social Services (DSHS).

Ms. Bloedow's traumatic brain injury has left her without the mental capabilities she had prior to the accident.  She can no longer do her job as a lawyer.  This strikes close to home for me as a Kirkland personal injury attorney, I would be devastated if my years of school and training were taken away by a negligent driver.  No amount of money can put Ms. Bloedow's life back together.  Hopefully, her pain with be eased by this settlement.
