Alger Car Accident Lawyer
Located within Skagit County, Washington, Alger is a commuter town that is primarily residential–also known as an “exurban” community. One of the most notable facts about this place is that it’s home to the Skagit Speedway, which is a popular destination for residents looking for something to do on a Saturday night. Speedway aside, because Alger is a commuter town, it’s common for residents who live here to work in other places. As such, driving is common and traffic isn’t unheard of. The number of cars on the road and the frequency with which people drive increase the chance of a car accident. If you have been in a car accident in Alger, our car accident lawyers at the Khan Injury Law PLLC can help. To learn more, call us today.
Causes of Alger Car Accidents
Car accidents in Alger are almost always the result of a party’s negligence–the failure to exercise the required degree of care. Negligence may take the form of:
- Drinking while driving;
- Driving fatigued;
- Driving aggressively;
- Driving while distracted;
- Speeding;
- Performing illegal maneuvers;
- Failing to yield; and
- More.
Driver negligence is the most common cause of car accidents, but it’s not the only one. Poor road conditions and vehicle defects sometimes lead to crashes, too.
Who’s Liable for an Alger Car Accident?
Liability for a car accident in Alger is based on fault. If another driver’s negligence was the proximate cause of your crash, then that driver can be held liable for the damages that result. In some cases, more than one party is at fault or the fault is shared between both drivers involved in the crash. When fault is shared, the rules of comparative negligence apply. Under this rule, called contributory fault under Washington statutes, each party is responsible for damages in proportion to their degree of fault. So, if you are found to be 20 percent to blame for the crash, you can still file a claim against the other driver, but can only hold them liable for 80 percent of your overall damages.
