Washington State and its majestic scenery are well known amongst the motorcycle community. Twisting roads leading to breathtaking sights like Spirit Lake and the Columbia River Gorge attract countless residents and tourists alike every year. Unfortunately, this amount of people and motor vehicles usually means more motorcycle accidents.
In 2021, there were more than 1,800 recorded crashes involving motorcycles, 1,028 of which caused some sort of injury and 84 of which resulted in someone’s death, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). Any auto accident is a terrible thing to happen, but motorcycle wrecks tend to be some of the most devastating. Despite being one of nineteen states with universal helmet laws for anyone on a motorcycle, Washington still sees far too many of these accidents annually.

Washington is full of winding coastal highways, high mountain passes, and rural country roads. With this much variety in our terrain, motorcycle wrecks can happen in many different settings.
Some of the main regions of our state that see an inordinate amount of motorcycle accidents include:
Mountains
The roads in and through the Cascades can be narrow, twisted, and sometimes lack guardrails. The cuvyness of the road may be fun for a motorcyclist, but it creates numerous blind curves and sharp turns that in turn cause accidents.
Densely Populated Areas
Our urban centers, like Seattle and Spokane, play host to the majority of all automobile accidents, motorcycles included. Intersections are where most motorcycle collisions take place, and our cities are full of them.
US and State Highways
While cities may see more motorcycle crashes, the ones that happen on rural state and U.S. highways tend to be more serious. Of the 84 fatal motorcycle accidents in 2021, 38 occurred on a Washington State route.
At Metier Law Firm, we don’t care where your Washington motorcycle accident happened. What matters to us is that you are able to heal and recover, and that you receive the financial compensation you need to do it.

Medical Bills
Pain and Suffering
Repair Costs
Rehabilitation expenses
Lost wages
Lost future earnings
Reduced quality of life
Hiring of personal aides
Wrongful death
