FAQs:
Pedestrian Accidents in Washington
In Washington, your auto policy likely includes uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage unless you specifically declined it in writing. This coverage protects you if you're hit by a driver who flees the scene or lacks sufficient insurance.
Under RCW 48.22.030, this protection extends to injuries caused by unknown or "phantom" vehicles, as long as physical contact occurred or independent evidence supports your claim. We'll help you coordinate your benefits so you can access medical care while liability is being investigated.
Yes. Insurers count on you giving up, so they often dispute liability. Filing a suit unlocks key evidence, such as phone records, video, and depositions, that can strengthen your case.
Context matters. Factors such as speed, lighting, sightlines, and driver attention all impact liability. Washington's comparative fault rules may reduce compensation, but don't erase your claim. We make sure any fault assigned is fair and based on facts, not assumptions.
Recoverable damages include medical costs, lost income, and reduced earning capacity. They also include non-economic losses such as pain, anxiety near traffic, and time away from activities you enjoy. If symptoms persist, we document permanent impairment and future care needs so nothing is left out of your claim.
Not without legal representation. Even honest guesses about speed, timing, or distance can later be used against you. We handle communications with insurers so you can focus on healing.
