Seattle Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Pedestrian accidents are most often caused due to inattention on the part of the driver of the car which struck the pedestrian. You may be crossing a street or walking through a parking lot, and out of nowhere a car strikes you, causing catastrophic injury. The driver may have been talking on the phone or adjusting the radio, or simply did not look before backing up or turning. Whatever the cause of the accident, the effect will be the same – the pedestrian will be left facing extensive injuries and a long recovery term.

An attorney can help. If you have been injured, you deserve the right to take legal action against the responsible party and seek compensation to pay for medical expenses, lost wages from being unable to work and emotional pain and suffering.

Pedestrian Injury Lawyer in Seattle, Washington

In taking on a pedestrian accident case, a personal injury lawyer will need to thoroughly assess the situation in order to determine how much the victim’s claim may be worth. In filing the claim and pursuing just compensation through negotiations or litigation in civil court, a lawyer will need to prove the liability of the driver. This may be done through proving that the driver:

• Violated a traffic law (was speeding, made an illegal turn, etc.)
• Failed to yield the proper right of way
• Was distracted and therefore did not exercise reasonable caution
