Any time you are traveling in a motor vehicle, you are at risk of being injured in a serious collision. According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, a car accident is reported every four minutes in the state, and someone is killed every 20 hours on average. Traffic-related fatalities in Washington have been on the rise in recent years, increasing from 508 to 525 from 2016 to 2017.
If you have been injured in a Washington car crash, you have the right to pursue a negligence claim for your injuries. Anyone who gets behind the wheel has to exercise reasonable care to obey the traffic laws of the State of Washington. Failure to do so may constitute negligence and give rise to a claim for lost damages for the injured party.
