No Fees Unless We Win
Drivers have a responsibility to follow all traffic laws and drive carefully, especially around vulnerable cyclists and pedestrians. Unfortunately, collisions between cyclists and drivers happen frequently in Washington, leading to severe injuries and fatalities.
If you are in a bicycle accident in Renton, Colburn Law can help. You may be eligible to file an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit against the driver responsible for the collision, and the bicycle accident attorneys at Colburn Law can advocate for your maximum compensation.
Washington is a very bicycle-friendly state, especially in King County. Many Renton residents rely on bicycles both as an alternative mode of transportation and as an enjoyable outdoor activity. However, cyclists are at a high risk of accidents on Washington roads.
According to the Washington Traffic Safety Commision (WTSC), pedestrians and cyclists accounted for 22.5 percent of serious traffic injuries in Washington between 2013 and 2017. During that same time period, pedestrians and cyclists comprised 18.6 percent of Washington traffic fatalities. Out of these fatal bicycle accidents, 70 percent of them involved a driver traveling faster than 30 miles per hour.
Greg Colburn’s path to personal injury law is rooted in personal experience. After a devastating fall left him in a wheelchair for two years, he took on insurance companies and legal obstacles to win his own case. That journey inspired him to fight for others facing similar challenges. Today, Greg is dedicated to helping injury victims hold negligent parties accountable and secure the justice they deserve.

If you are in an accident with a driver, you may be eligible for financial compensation, even if you are a cyclist. Washington is a fault state for car accidents, requiring reckless drivers to pay for their victims’ damages with liability insurance. These victims include cyclists as well as other drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and motorcyclists.
You can file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company to recover compensation for your accident-related damages. You could also file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver. During this process, you will need to prove that the driver’s negligence caused the accident and your resulting injuries.
Most bicycle accident cases begin as an insurance claim and escalate to a lawsuit if the insurance company denies the claim or refuses to provide a sufficient settlement. If you are seeking very high amounts of damages that exceed the driver’s policy limits, you may want to file a lawsuit instead of an insurance claim. Speak to your attorney at Colburn Law to determine which legal pathway is right for you.
