FAQs
What Should I Do After an Accident?
After a car accident, it is important to remain calm and call the police. Take pictures of the scene and exchange contact information with any other drivers involved in the incident. Seek medical attention if necessary, and contact your insurance provider as soon as possible to report the incident.
What Are the Consequences of Not Having Insurance?
In Washington State, it is illegal to drive without valid auto insurance or proof of financial responsibility. If you are cited for driving without insurance, you may face stiff fines and penalties, as well as possible suspension or revocation of your license.
What Should I Do if I Am Involved in a Hit-and-Run Accident?
The best way to protect yourself after a hit-and-run accident is to take down the license plate number or description of the vehicle that left the scene. Also, be sure to call 911 and report the incident immediately, even if you were not injured in the crash.
Who Is Liable for a Car Accident?
Generally speaking, any driver found to be negligent or at fault for a car accident will be liable for the damages caused by it. It’s important to consult with an attorney since determining who is liable can be complicated due to factors such as negligence and contributory negligence laws.
What Are My Rights as a Pedestrian in an Accident?
Pedestrians have the same legal rights that any other vehicle operator has when involved in an accident; they must abide by traffic laws and remain responsible for their actions while on the road or sidewalk. Additionally, pedestrians may be protected from personal injury lawsuits as long as they obeyed all applicable state laws before the crash occurred.
Can I Recover Compensation Even if I Am Partly at Fault for the Accident?
In some cases, an injured party may still be able to recover compensation despite being partially at fault for the incident, depending on which state they are located in and how much responsibility is attributed to them by the court system regarding their role in causing the crash.
