Pedestrian Accident Specialists in Tacoma Washington State

Walking, crossing the street, or moving through a parking lot are parts of our daily lives. We trust that motorists will see and protect us. But a single moment of driver inattention can lead to catastrophic results for a pedestrian, leaving them with lifelong disabilities.

One of the most tragic parts of a pedestrian accident is when the insurance company tries to avoid responsibility by claiming the pedestrian was also at fault. At a time like this, you absolutely need a specialist who understands Washington’s pedestrian protection laws and will stand up against unfair blame.

At Car Crash, we help victims of pedestrian accidents in Tacoma and across Washington State recover the rights and full compensation they rightfully deserve.

Your Legal Rights as a Pedestrian in Washington State

Washington State law places a very high duty of care on drivers to protect pedestrians. A critical fact that many people do not know is:

Every intersection is a crosswalk: Even if there are no painted lines or signals, an intersection is considered an “unmarked crosswalk” by law, and pedestrians have the right-of-way.
The Driver’s Duty to Yield: Motorists are legally required to stop and yield to a pedestrian approaching a crosswalk.

We use these legal rights as a powerful foundation to clearly prove the driver’s negligence.

The insurance company will try to blame you. We are the only side you need—the side that fights for the truth.

Fighting Back Against Unfair Blame

To reduce their payout, insurance companies will often try to shift blame onto the victim by claiming:

“The pedestrian darted out into the road.”
“They were wearing dark clothing and I couldn’t see them.”
“The pedestrian was jaywalking.”

We counter these false claims with accident reconstruction, witness testimony, and expert analysis to prove that the full responsibility lies with the negligent driver.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Failure to yield to pedestrians at a crosswalk
