Over a single year, an estimated 810 people lost their lives, and 3,413 people suffered serious injuries in car accidents in Washington State, according to the Department of Transportation. Every one of these accidents represents lives lost or changed forever. Tragically, in many cases, these devastating accidents could have been prevented with reasonable care.
When a negligent driver or another third party is responsible for causing a crash to occur, victims or their surviving family members can pursue justice. And, for over 100 years, victims have been turning to the Federal Way personal injury attorneys at Jacobs and Jacobs to help them in that pursuit.
Our team has recovered over $113 million in the past five years for victims, but we’ve been fighting for victims for far longer — since 1893. We bring strong experience and commitment to compassionate representation to every case, and we’re ready to advocate for you.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Car Accidents in Federal Way?
After a car accident, it’s important to identify who is to blame. Some potential defendants who could be held liable for your losses include:
- A negligent driver who failed to follow the rules of the road
- The employer of a careless driver if the accident happened on the job
- Companies that sell vehicles with defects, or manufacturers who design defective vehicle parts
- Government entities responsible for designing and maintaining roads if they are negligent in these obligations in a way that causes an accident to happen
Jacobs and Jacobs helps identify who is to blame in the aftermath of an accident, and takes legal action on your behalf against the responsible parties to get you the compensation you deserve.
What Does a Federal Way Car Accident Lawyer Do to Help?
A Federal Way car accident lawyer can offer help and support in the aftermath of a crash. Our team will:
- Gather evidence: We know local police and hospitals well since our firm has been helping car accident victims for over a century. We gather medical records, police reports, witness testimony, evidence from the crash scene, and anything else needed to make a strong case.
- Identify defendants: Our deep knowledge of Washington State law ensures we can identify all responsible parties to maximize insurance coverage available.
- Negotiate settlements: With a history of recovering over $113 million in the last five years alone, our team is known for not backing down. Insurers are more likely to make a fair settlement offer due to our reputation as tough negotiators and our skill in preparing strong cases.
- Fighting in court: We can represent you in a trial when no settlement is reached. While not all car accident lawyers go to court regularly, our attorneys have been named among the National Trial Lawyers Top 100. We have extensive courtroom experience and can go the distance.
We also have a firm commitment to ensuring you feel cared for during the process, so you can always reach out to our team to answer questions or find out the status of your claim.
