Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians have little protection when a driver fails to yield, speeds, drives distracted, or turns without looking. Washington traffic safety reporting shows that pedestrian crashes routinely cause severe injury and death statewide. For victims and families, these collisions often result in serious injuries and death claims immediately.
Horne & Stone LLP represents injured pedestrians across all of Washington state. Mr. Horne and Ms. Stone pursue serious injuries and death claims against reckless drivers and the insurance companies that try to shift blame onto the person on foot. In many cases, proof comes from scene measurements, crash reconstruction, vehicle damage analysis, surveillance footage, dash camera video, and driver phone records.
Your legal ally in your path to fair compensation
Washington follows a comparative fault system in which fault may be allocated among parties, which makes careful evidence development important in pedestrian cases. Even when insurers argue that a pedestrian should have seen a vehicle, the central issue is often whether the driver acted with reasonable care, maintained a proper lookout, and obeyed traffic controls.
Horne & Stone LLP does not shy away from difficult defendants. Mr. Horne and Ms. Stone help clients in seeking their deserved compensation from even the largest companies in the world and take on the defense firms that those companies hide behind. If you or a loved one is facing serious injuries and death claims after a pedestrian crash, the firm is prepared to pursue full accountability and the compensation necessary to move forward.
