Winter Weather Conditions Cause Motor Vehicle Accidents in Western Washington

Snowfall and Freezing Rain In The Seattle Area Make Icy Roads Hazardous To Drive

The number of motor vehicle accidents in the Seattle area increases whenever it snows.  Highways, secondary roads, city streets and side streets can be extremely hazardous when Seattle’s normally rainy weather turns cold and icy.  

Many people falsely believe if they are injured in a winter weather accident that they cannot collect compensation from the at-fault driver—they think that the weather is to blame.  But according to Washington state law every driver is charged with acting with due care depending on the conditions of the roadway.  So if a driver loses control of their vehicle and causes a collision with your vehicle during a winter storm the fact that the roads were icy and covered with snow is not a defense—they may still be responsible for the damage to your vehicle and your injuries. 

If you have been injured in an accident that took place on an icy road or under snowy conditions you have legal rights and you are entitled to compensation for your injuries and damage to your vehicle.  Contact Davis Law Group for a free consultation.  The consultation is free and the legal advice may be priceless.  Call 206-727-4000.
