Reckless Driving Crashes in Seattle
Every time you get behind the wheel, there is a risk of a collision. Reckless drivers are responsible for an estimated three out of every ten traffic accidents nationwide. Even the safest drivers can be injured by the actions of a negligent motorist, and more than 13,000 traffic fatalities each year are attributable to reckless driving. In Washington, some of the most prevalent forms of recklessness on the state’s roadways include driver distraction and speeding.
If you have been injured in a Washington car crash, you have the right to pursue a negligence claim for your injuries. Anyone who gets behind the wheel has to exercise reasonable care to obey the traffic laws of the State of Washington. Failure to do so may constitute negligence and give rise to a claim for lost damages for the injured party. Pursuing a personal injury claim in Washington is a long and confusing process for those with little experience in the law, but you do not have to do it alone.
