Transportation Defense Litigation
As experienced litigators, Bradley Law Firm’s attorneys understand the complexities involved in litigating catastrophic trucking accidents in Seattle. This includes common-law negligence, wrongful-death claims, severe and catastrophic injury claims, and regulations issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Our veteran trial lawyers proactively respond to the demands of these cases by focusing on effective communication with:
- Trucking companies.
- Insurance companies and their investigators and claims administrators.
- Law-enforcement personnel.
- Expert witnesses.
- Fact witnesses.
We understand that adverse jury decisions in trucking-accident cases can create significant financial burdens for our clients, potentially including:
- Medical expenses.
- Lost wages and loss of potential earnings.
- Pain and suffering.
- Loss of consortium.
- Damage to equipment, freight, and infrastructure.
- Other economic and non-economic relief.
- Indemnification claims.
Our attorneys also recognize the public’s general bias against large corporations and the trucking industry, which often encourages aggressive legal tactics from opposing counsel. Therefore, we are equally aggressive in our defense strategies, which include:
- Preserving all evidence.
- Obtaining and analyzing police and agency reports.
- Reviewing the motor carrier’s and driver’s background.
- Collecting and interpreting data from the truck’s electronic systems.
- Securing and vetting expert witnesses and accident reconstructionists.
We are prepared to defend self-insured trucking firms or insurance companies and their insured intrastate and interstate transportation carriers of all types. Additionally, we represent truck manufacturers, component manufacturers, repair facilities, trucking service providers, and others in the industry.
Bradley Law Firm handles cases involving:
- Wrongful death or catastrophic personal injury.
- Negligence in adhering to state and federal regulations.
- Driver fatigue and other safety violations.
- Negligent hiring and training of drivers.
- Transportation of hazardous materials.
- Failure to repair and maintain equipment.
- Defective parts.
- Damage to freight and property.
- Construction zone accidents.
- Third-party claims against carriers.
Regardless of the case complexity, Bradley Law Firm attorneys possess the knowledge, skills, and determination to provide the best defense possible.

Our Process
We treasure the relationships that we have built with so many people. It is because of those relationships that the Plitz Planning Process and the Family Support & Protection Program were developed. We want to be able to hear you and understand your goals.
We strive to provide you with level of support that you want. We will build an estate plan that you deserve. We will provide you with the peace of mind that when the time comes, your family will have someone to guide them and your legacy will be preserved.
Experience
INITIAL PROSPECT INTERVIEW
The initial prospect interview is a 20-30 FREE video conference where we can get a basic understanding of your overall situation and your goals, as well as a chance to learn a little bit about the Law Firm. In preparation for this meeting, you will have completed the Prospect Interview Checklist, including submitting the Prospect Information form and Asset Information form. At the end of this meeting, together we will determine if we want to work together and move forward with your planning. If we decide to move forward, additional tasks will be given, and the Plan Detail Meeting is scheduled typically a week out.
PLAN DETAIL MEETING
The plan detail meeting is an in-home or video conference meeting that builds from the initial prospect interview to fully develop your personalized estate plan. Any tasks that were assigned at the Initial Prospect Interview need to be brought to this meeting. At the end of this meeting, your theoretical estate plan is set, and your personalized estate plan is ready to be developed.
PLAN DEVELOPMENT
This is the stage where the Plitz Estate Planning team takes the information and notes from the first two meetings and starts to create the actual estate planning documents. The first step is to generate a summary sheet of the major decisions and people and email you a copy for your preliminary review and comments. This will also be the stage for you to submit any additional pieces of information or other follow-up from the Plan Detail Meeting. Overall, the Plan Development stage can take two to three weeks.
DRAFT REVIEW & REVISIONS
Once the plan is written, an electronic draft will be sent to you for your review. At this stage there should be little in terms of changes, but this is an opportunity to catch any tweaks, or develop questions to getting a fuller understanding on how your plan works. We typically would like to schedule the Signing Ceremony one week from the sending of the draft.
SIGNING CEREMONY
The signing ceremony is a one hour, in-person meeting at your home when your estate plan is signed and put into full force and effect. Celebrating the accomplishment that most Americans don’t do – having a personalized estate plan that achieves your goals and showing your family just how much you care.
FAMILY SUPPORT & PROTECTION PROGRAM
With your estate plan signed and in full effect, the relationship with Plitz Estate Planning does not end. We are here to make sure you enjoy the peace of mind that proper estate planning provides. This stage, based on the level of support you select, is designed to make sure you and your estate plan are in the best place possible and does what it needs to do, when you need it to.
