How Negligent Drivers Cause Pedestrian Accidents

Not all pedestrian accidents occur because of negligent driving. Poor weather, slippery roads, and faulty auto parts can contribute to these collisions. However, negligent drivers are responsible for many of these accidents. 

There are several dangerous driving behaviors that can lead to a pedestrian accident, including the following

• Failure to yield the right of way
• Driving over the speed limit
• Running a red light or stop signs
• Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Distracted driving, such as texting and driving
• Reckless or aggressive driving
• Making an unsafe turn

Legal Options for Injured Issaquah Pedestrians

If you were injured in an Issaquah pedestrian accident, you could recover compensation to pay for your medical care, property damage, and other losses related to your collision. Like most states, Washington follows a fault-based standard for car accidents. If a driver’s negligent behaviors cause a collision, the victims of the accident could pursue an insurance claim or lawsuit against the at-fault motorist. 

As an injured pedestrian, you have the right to pursue legal action in these situations. However, you will need to prove the following facts in order to recover a settlement:

• The at-fault motorist owed you a duty of care at the time of your collision. All drivers have a duty to follow traffic laws and drive carefully.
• The at-fault motorist breached his or her duty of care, such as by running a red light or speeding.
• The at-fault motorist’s negligent actions caused your pedestrian accident and the injuries that you suffered.
• You sustained damages that you can recover in your claim.

You can leverage several pieces of evidence to establish your claim, including medical records, police reports, and traffic footage. Expert witnesses like medical professionals can also testify to prove complex parts of your case. The attorney at Colburn Law can help you gather all relevant evidence and craft a compelling case in your favor.
