Steps to Take After a Hit-and-Run Accident

Experiencing a hit-and-run accident can be overwhelming, but taking specific actions can protect your rights and aid in your recovery. Key steps include:

  1. Stay at the scene.
  2. Call law enforcement immediately.
  3. Document evidence with photos and witness accounts.
  4. Seek prompt medical attention.
  5. Report the incident to your insurance provider.
  6. Consult an attorney to explore legal options and secure fair compensation.

Compensation Options

Washington drivers may utilize uninsured motorist coverage to pay for medical expenses, property damage, or lost wages. Because insurance disputes can arise, seeking legal guidance helps ensure fair treatment and effective negotiation of claims.

Legal Support

An experienced car accident lawyer can guide you through the insurance claims process, negotiate settlements, and file lawsuits when necessary. Our goal is to handle the legal complexities so you can focus on your recovery.

REAR-END COLLISIONS

REAR-ENDING
When a driver rear-ends another vehicle, they are typically deemed at fault, as drivers must maintain a safe following distance to stop without collision. Failure to do so can result in liability for damages and injuries.
Liability and Settlements
Determining fault can be complex, and insurance companies aim to minimize payouts. Working with skilled attorneys can help negotiate fair compensation or pursue litigation if necessary.
Causes of Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end collisions are often due to factors like speeding, distracted driving, or weather conditions. In some cases, the rear driver is at fault for following too closely, while in others, the lead driver may share blame due to sudden stops or faulty brake lights.
Common Injuries
Injuries range from whiplash and broken bones to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage. Some symptoms, such as whiplash, may appear later, underscoring the importance of immediate medical care.
At Clifftop Law
Our experienced attorneys have a proven track record of securing substantial recoveries for rear-end collision victims. We are committed to navigating the legal process, challenging insurance companies, and advocating for your recovery and future well-being with a dedicated team by your side.

DISTRACTED DRIVING ACCIDENTS

WHAT IS DISTRACTED DRIVING?
Entirely preventable accidents caused by drivers distracted by texting or phone use are becoming more frequent as mobile device use grows. Distracted driving occurs when a driver’s attention is diverted from the road due to activities such as texting, talking on the phone, eating, adjusting navigation systems, or interacting with passengers. Even a few seconds of distraction can significantly increase the risk of a crash.
RECENT LAWS IN WASHINGTON
Washington State has implemented strict laws to reduce distracted driving. Under the state’s “Driving Under the Influence of Electronics Act,” holding a phone while driving is illegal, even when stopped at a light or in traffic. Seattle law enforcement actively enforces these rules to improve road safety and reduce preventable crashes caused by mobile device use.

PREMISES LIABILITY

If you have suffered a severe slip, trip, or fall due to a property owner's negligence, contact Clifftop Law about pursuing a premises liability claim for damages. Our Seattle premises liability attorneys represent victims of slip and fall accidents throughout King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties. We will aggressively investigate and pursue compensation for our clients who have sustained fractures, broken bones, neck/back injuries, head trauma, disigurement, or other harm.

Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle
Property owners, whether businesses, homeowners, or government entities, have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions on their premises. Clifftop Law attorneys have successfully recovered compensation for clients in a range of cases, including:
  • Slip and falls on wet floors (e.g. supermarkets, retail stores)
  • Injuries due to broken or poorly constructed sidewalks, stairs, or railings
  • Escalator defects
  • Animal attacks
  • Exposure to toxic/hazardous substances
  • Swimming pool accidents
  • Incidents involving snow and ice
  • Inadequate security leading to robbery, assault, or other crimes
Investigating premises liability

When investigating a premises liability claim, we act quickly to obtain and preserve crucial evidence of negligence and interview all relevant witnesses. For example, in a slip-and-fall accident at a grocery store, we would review whether the store maintains a log of its regular cleaning schedule. If the spill occurred only moments before the incident, the owner may not be liable. However, if the store neglected known hazards or failed to keep accurate records, you may have a strong case.

Most businesses carry general liability insurance, and our firm can often secure payment for reasonable accident-related expenses—even without fully proving fault.

Bicycle Accidents

Seattle supports bicycling with dedicated bike lanes and state laws granting cyclists the same rights and responsibilities as drivers. If you were injured in a bicycle accident caused by someone’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Consult an experienced Seattle bicycle accident attorney for personalized legal guidance and representation.

Bicycle Laws in Seattle

Washington state law imposes obligations on cyclists but also affords them certain protections. Under the Revised Code of Washington § 46.61.755, cyclists using public roads have the same rights and duties as motor vehicle operators. rights of bicyclists may be financially liable for any resulting injuries.

However, some roads, such as limited access highways and other marked routes, are off-limits to cyclists. A bicyclist's use of these prohibited roads may be considered negligent, potentially impacting a personal injury claim.

Additional rules include:
  • Cyclists may ride no more than two abreast in asingle lane
  • Bicycles must be equipped with a white front lightand red rear relector for night riding
  • Cyclists may use paths, bike lanes, or road shouldersas appropriate for their safety
  • Parents/guardians are responsible if they knowingly allow a child to violate cycling laws
    • These legal protections and requirements can significantly influence a bicycle accident claim. A knowledgeable Seattle attorney can review the circumstances of a cyclist's collision to determine if any applicable laws were violated.

Comparative Fault in Bicycle Crashes

Defendants in bicycle accident cases often allege the cyclist was partially or fully responsible for their own injuries. Under Washington's pure comparative fault system, a plaintiff's recoverable damages are reduced by their percentage of fault. Even if a cyclist is found majority responsible, they can still recover compensation, though the amount will be decreased accordingly. A skilled Seattle lawyer can help build a case demonstrating the other party's primary liability.
