Washington State Ferry Passenger Injuries

Washington State Ferries transports millions of passengers each year. The sheer number of passengers being carried leads to an increased number of potential injuries on each trip. When those numbers are added to the possibility of inclement weather, strong winds, slick decks, trip hazards, vehicle traffic and the rolling motion of the vessel, serious injuries do occur.

With this information, we can begin negotiating with the liable party's insurance carrier or the State of Washington to reach a beneficial settlement.

While riding on a ferry, there are several ways for accidents and injuries to occur, including:

• If a boat runs into the dock and jars passengers
• Foreign substances on the deck
• If employees mop the deck without putting up warning cones
• If the motion of the boat causes doors to come unlatched and swing uncontrolled
• Ice on the deck
• Unsafe stairs
• Defective railings

These accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries or, in some circumstances, fatalities. It is important to hold those responsible for your accident accountable for their negligence or inattentiveness. Contact our firm right away.
