Car Accidents

Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers successfully recovered a $4 million settlement on behalf of a man who was tragically killed after a driver crashed into a building he was working in at the time near Shelton, WA.

The victim and our client, K.F., was working his morning shift as a security guard at Sierra Pacific Industries in Shelton in 2022. A man driving a pickup truck errantly crashed his vehicle into the guard shack, resulting in the death of our client.

Initial reports suggested that the driver of the pickup truck may have suffered a medical emergency behind the wheel, however several witnesses said the driver appeared conscious and alert when the crash occurred.

Liability for Shelton Vehicle-Into-Building Crash

Businesses in Washington sometimes have a responsibility to take necessary steps to protect their patrons, employees, and other members of the public from vehicle-into-building crashes. When businesses fail to take these necessary steps, they can be held legally responsible for harm done to innocent victims.

In this case, there was a history of accidents occurring at the location where our client worked. A series of collisions and near-misses prompted concern among employees, who requested the company install a protective barrier that would mitigate damage and harm to occupants inside.

Of course, no amount of money can ever undo the harm that accident victims and their families suffer as a result of someone else’s negligence.

Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers fought hard on behalf of our client and the surviving family member. After several years of investigation, advocacy, and negotiation with the defendants involved, we are proud to have recovered a substantial settlement that will give the family a sense of justice.
