Pedestrian Accidents in Washington
Pedestrian accidents, such as the one on Wenatchee Avenue, highlight the risks faced by individuals walking near busy roadways. Crosswalk collisions often result from driver inattention, speeding, or failure to yield to pedestrians. In urban areas, these incidents can be particularly hazardous, as pedestrians have little protection in the event of a crash.
Washington law requires drivers to stop for pedestrians in marked crosswalks. When a driver fails to yield, injured victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and other damages. Understanding legal rights and insurance options is crucial for those affected by pedestrian accidents.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian crash, seeking legal guidance can help you navigate the claims process and secure the compensation needed for recovery.
