Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit
Were you injured as a pedestrian? You may be entitled to significant compensation!
Understanding Your Rights After a Pedestrian Accident
Washington state law mandates that drivers stop at intersections to allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross, whether in marked or unmarked crosswalks. In some cases, cities, counties, or government entities may also be held responsible if their negligence contributed to the accident.
If you’ve been involved in a pedestrian accident, it is essential to file a police report and gather the names and contact information of any witnesses. You bear the responsibility of proving that the driver or government entity was at fault.
PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
Unlike motorists, pedestrians have no protection in the event of a collision, making these accidents particularly severe. Serious injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and even fatalities are unfortunately common. Always remain vigilant and check for oncoming traffic before crossing the street.
