When a car collides with a pedestrian, devastating consequences can occur. Pedestrians do not have the same protection as a driver inside of a motor vehicle, and the force generated by the collision can cause serious injuries. Some common injuries sustained by pedestrians include the following.
These injuries can require significant medical care, and you may need to take time off work to seek treatment, recover from your procedures, and attend rehabilitation or physical therapy. The cost of this treatment can be very expensive, and you may not have the financial means to pay for it. However, you could hold the driver responsible for your accident accountable in a personal injury lawsuit or insurance claim.
Washington is a fault-based accident state. This means that all drivers who cause car accidents must pay for their victims’ damages. To maintain this financial obligation, Washington requires all drivers to hold a certain amount of liability insurance:
A driver can purchase higher amounts of liability coverage if he or she chooses to do so. If a driver causes an accident, the victims can file a claim to recover compensation up to the appropriate policy limits. These victims may include other drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

In addition to an insurance claim, pedestrians also have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver for their damages. Most pedestrians file an insurance claim first and proceed to a lawsuit if necessary. If you have serious injuries that exceed the driver’s policy limits, you may want to file a lawsuit first. Speak to an attorney at Colburn Law to determine which pathway is right for you.
