Advocating for Injured Pedestrians Across King and Snohomish Counties
Communities throughout King County and Snohomish County continue to invest in walkable neighborhoods, public transportation, and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Despite these efforts, pedestrian accidents remain a serious concern in cities such as Seattle, Everett, Bellevue, Lynnwood, Redmond, Kirkland, Shoreline, and surrounding areas.
Pedestrian collisions frequently occur at intersections, crosswalks, parking lots, school zones, and residential streets. Even at relatively low speeds, a collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian can result in life-changing injuries.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Many pedestrian accidents are preventable and occur because drivers fail to exercise reasonable care. Common causes include:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Failure to yield at crosswalks
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Unsafe turns at intersections
- Backing-up accidents in parking lots
- Failure to observe pedestrians in school zones
- Poor visibility and inattentive driving
A thorough investigation can help determine how the accident occurred and identify all potentially liable parties.
Serious Injuries Associated with Pedestrian Accidents
Because pedestrians have little protection against the force of a vehicle, injuries are often significant. Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Neck and back injuries
- Facial injuries
- Soft tissue injuries
- Permanent disabilities
Many victims require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care following a serious pedestrian accident.
Compensation Available to Injured Pedestrians
Individuals injured in pedestrian accidents may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
