Cottage Lake
Car Accident Lawyer

Cottage Lake is a census-designated place in King County and yes, it is as picturesque as it sounds. It’s one of the fastest-growing suburbs in America and it makes sense as to why–the area sits on a gorgeous lake and is surrounded by dense trees and nature. While small, the area is a popular place for recreation and as such, there are multiple vehicles traveling in and out of the area on a regular basis, which increases the risk of a car accident. If you or a loved one has been involved in a crash, our Cottage Lake car accident lawyers at the Khan Law Firm PLLC can help you to recover damages and understand your rights.

Top Causes of Car Accidents

Our law firm will conduct an investigation to determine how your Cottage Lake car accident occurred and who should be held liable. Common causes of car accidents include: 

• Distracted Driving: Distracted driving, which usually involves the use of a handheld device, is a leading killer on our roadways. Drivers who fail to pay attention to the road and keep both hands on the wheel at all times put others at risk. 
• Drunk Driving: Drunk driving continues to be a top cause of car accidents throughout Washington, with dozens of drunk driver-caused fatalities each year. Driving while impaired, either by alcohol, drugs, prescription drugs, or fatigue can be incredibly dangerous. 
• Speeding: Speeding is especially dangerous for two reasons: first, speeding increases the first of a crash as a vehicle may be more difficult to control when traveling at high speeds, and second, speeding increases the severity of damages should a crash occur. This is because force is a result of velocity multiplied by mass–the faster one is traveling at the time of collision, the more devastating a crash will be. 
• Illegal Maneuvers: Other illegal maneuvers, such as swerving, running a red light or stop sign, tailgating, and failing to yield all contribute to the risk of a crash. 

Most car accidents are preventable and would never happen but for an irresponsible driver’s negligence. We’ll help you hold the responsible party liable for your damages. 

Your Rights After a Car Crash in Cottage Lake

When another driver’s negligence is to blame for your damages, you have a right to hold that driver liable for the full value of your losses. In order to do so, you’ll need to prove that the accident would not have occurred but for the driver’s actions. You’ll also need to prove the extent of damages you’ve suffered. You can seek compensation for the full value of your losses, including the value of your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage costs, pain, suffering, emotional distress, and any other economic or noneconomic losses sustained.
