FAQs – Seattle Distracted Driving Accident Cases
How long do I have to file a distracted driving accident claim in Seattle?
In Washington State, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically three years from the date of the accident.
What if the distracted driver was uninsured?
We can help you file a claim through your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policy.
Will I need to go to court?
Not necessarily. Many cases are resolved through negotiation. However, we are always prepared to go to trial if needed.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Washington follows a comparative negligence rule, which means your compensation may be reduced, but not eliminated, based on your share of the fault.
