Seattle, Washington – Pendergast Law announced a successful court outcome on behalf of a hard-working client whose life changed in an instant after being rear-ended by a bus while driving for work. The case involved serious injuries to the client’s shoulder, elbow, and wrist, which required multiple surgeries and resulted in lasting challenges, particularly for someone who depends on his hands to earn a living.

Following the crash, the client faced not only physical pain, but also uncertainty about his ability to continue working and providing for himself and his family. Pendergast Law pursued the matter with a trial-ready approach and fought to ensure the full impact of the injuries, the hardships that followed, and the client’s future needs were recognized.

The firm’s efforts resulted in a court victory that held the defendant accountable and secured justice for the client. The outcome helped the client obtain the medical care and financial security needed to move forward, focus on healing, and plan for the future with greater stability.

“This case is exactly why we do what we do,” said J.P. Pendergast, founder of Pendergast Law. “Our client was simply driving for work when a bus crash turned his world upside down. When someone suffers injuries that affect their ability to use their hands, you are talking about their livelihood and their independence. We fought back against a powerful defendant and made sure our client’s pain, hardship, and future were fully recognized in court. When the insurance company made its final offer that was unacceptable, we immediately filed suit and tried it to a verdict, which was more than double their last offer.”

Pendergast Law noted that the case serves as a reminder that accountability applies to everyone, including large institutions. When injury victims are up against well-resourced defendants, having a legal team prepared to take the case through litigation and into the courtroom can make the difference.

The firm represents individuals across Washington in serious injury matters, including collisions involving commercial vehicles and public transportation. Pendergast Law remains committed to standing up for everyday people and pursuing results that support long-term recovery, medical care, and financial protection.
