FAQs
Pedestrian, Crosswalk, Bicycle Accidents
- What sorts of damages should a settlement for a pedestrian or crosswalk accident cover?
Can a pedestrian accident victim still make a claim when crossing the street without a crosswalk?
What are my responsibilities as a pedestrian? What if I am involved in a pedestrian accident?
- In Washington state do bicyclists have to follow the same rules of the road as car drivers?
- Aren't bicyclists subject to the same rules of the road as the rest of us in our cars? I have seen bicyclists driving and/or weaving between cars stopped on the road due to a red traffic light or a traffic backup. And I have sometimes I seen bicyclists dart through intersections on a red light, often without stopping first to check for oncoming traffic.
