Accident Report: Federal Way Rear-end Cell Phone Texting Accident
Washington law provides that the following driver has the duty to avoid a collision with the driver in front. See Washington Pattern Jury Instruction (WPI) 70.04. . CSH was negligent when she slammed into the back of KC’s vehicle. KC did nothing to contribute to the cause of the crash and could do nothing to avoid the car accident—she was just sitting still, minding her own business at the time of the accident. KC suffered personal injuries such as neck and back strain as a result of the rear-end collision.
KC tried to work with the insurance claims adjustors at Progressive Insurance Company to get compensation for her chiropractic care and other medical treatment but Progressive disputed the facts of the accident and KC’s injuries. So she hired car accident attorney Chris Davis at the Davis Law Group in Seattle, WA to help her manage the insurance claim and negotiate a fair and reasonable settlement.
