At Eastside Injury Law, we help injured pedestrians in Issaquah, Renton, Bellevue, and surrounding Eastside communities pursue the compensation they need to heal. If you’ve been struck while walking, we’ll fight to make sure your voice is heard — and your losses are taken seriously.  

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian injuries often occur because a driver wasn’t paying attention or failed to yield the right of way. We handle cases involving:

  • Distracted driving (texting, GPS use)
  • Failure to stop at crosswalks or signals
  • Speeding in residential or school zones
  • Left-hand turn collisions at intersections
  • Poor visibility or unmarked crosswalks
  • DUI or reckless driving
  • Parking lot or driveway backovers

 

Whether your injuries occurred in a busy urban area or a quiet neighborhood, you deserve accountability and support.

Who Pays for a Pedestrian Injury in Washington?

Washington is an at-fault state. If the driver was negligent, their insurance is responsible for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. But insurance companies often try to minimize payouts or shift blame onto pedestrians — even in clearly marked crosswalk cases.

We gather witness statements, surveillance footage, accident reports, and expert testimony to build a strong claim that protects your rights and holds the driver fully accountable.

Statute of Limitations for Pedestrian Accidents in Washington

In Washington, most pedestrian accident claims must be filed within three years from the date of the incident. Waiting too long can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation. Don’t assume your injuries will heal on their own — even minor symptoms can worsen over time. Let us help you take timely action.
