Kirkland Pedestrian Accident Leaves Teenager and Toddler Sister Injured l Bellevue Lawyer

Type: Pedestrian/Crosswalk Accident; Child Injury Accident
Date:  January 27th, 2010
Location: 100th Avenue Northeast, Kirkland, WA

Two sisters were struck by a car while crossing the street in Kirkland in a marked crosswalk at about 1:30pm.  Apparently the driver in the first, southbound lane stopped for the girls, but the driver in the second southbound lane, did not. Police believe that the teenager suffered possible fractures and the toddler may have a head injury.  Both have been taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.  .

When it is warm or during the summer months more of these types of accidents occur.  Our office frequently handles crosswalk accidents. 

My heart goes out to this family.  I have a teenage daugter and a toddler son and cannot imagine the emotional distress this family is going through.  The family should contact an attorney quickly so evidence can be gathered and witness statements taken as soon as possible.
