Are Drivers Always to Blame for Pedestrian Accidents?

Pedestrian accidents are usually caused by some form of driver negligence, rather than a mistake on the part of the pedestrian. Washington state law prioritizes pedestrian safety by granting pedestrians the right-of-way in many situations, especially at marked crosswalks and intersections. However, these rights are often forgotten by drivers who fail to follow traffic laws, putting the people around them at risk.

Common types of driver negligence that lead to pedestrian accidents include:

• Failing to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks, marked or unmarked.
• Speeding in areas with heavy foot traffic, parking lots, or school zones.
• Distracted driving, such as texting, eating, or using other forms of technology.
• Ignoring traffic signals or rolling through stop signs without stopping.
• Driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or even prescription medications.

When reckless behavior leads to tragedy, it’s only right to hold drivers accountable. We are proud to fight for the rights of local pedestrians who have suffered due to a driver’s negligence, so they don’t have to shoulder the financial burdens that follow.

How Our Attorneys Prove Driver Negligence

Preparing a solid pedestrian accident case usually requires convincing evidence of liability, which can come in many forms. Our attorneys have extensive experience showing how a driver’s actions contributed to or directly caused the accident. By conducting thorough investigations and leveraging expert resources, we can uncover the truth and strengthen your claim.

Evidence often used to prove driver negligence in a pedestrian accident case includes:

• Camera footage from nearby traffic, security cameras, or the driver’s dashcam. 
• Eyewitness statements from bystanders who saw the accident.
• Police reports that document key details and initial fault assessments.

Our team leaves no stone unturned when gathering evidence to prepare a case for our clients. This dedication to thoroughness is just one part of our method that has allowed us to secure major wins in the past. Some of our attorneys have even been named to the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum® after achieving massive victories.

Pursuing Significant Compensation for You

The average pedestrian accident will cause severe and life-altering injuries, including broken bones, spinal cord injuries, brain trauma, and more. Due to the severity of these injuries, the injured pedestrian’s medical needs with be significant. Due to the significance of medical needs, the damages to pursue in pedestrian accident cases tend to be substantial.

Pursuing compensation is not easy, but it can be for you if you leave everything up to our Tacoma pedestrian accident attorneys. We are here to take over, lead the way in your case, and take every step needed in pursuit of maximum compensation for our clients. Our legal team understands just how devastating a pedestrian accident can be, and we are dedicated to securing fair and comprehensive compensation that addresses all facets of your needs.

Potential damages you can recover in a pedestrian accident claim include:

• Medical costs: Includes emergency care, surgeries, physical therapy, and ongoing treatments.
• Lost wages: Reimbursement for time missed at work while recovering.
• Loss of earning capacity: Compensation if your injuries prevent you from returning to work or reduce your ability to perform your job.
• Pain and suffering: Non-economic damages for physical pain, emotional trauma, and mental suffering.
• Property damage: Compensation for personal items like mobile devices or clothing damaged during the accident.

How Long Do You Have to File a Pedestrian Accident Claim?

Time is of the essence when filing a personal injury claim. Under Washington’s statute of limitations, injured pedestrians typically have just three years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Missing this deadline can mean losing your right to pursue compensation altogether. Also, the deadline can be even shorter than three years in some cases, so you shouldn’t assume you have a lot of time to get started.
