Eastmont Car Accident Lawyer

If you live in Eastmont, Washington you have likely spent some time commuting on I-5, as well as driving around Eastmont and on the stretch between Everett and Seattle. Since Eastmont is the location of Community Transit Park & Ride, some residents of the suburb do not spend every day commuting alone into Seattle, yet it is a place that requires a motor vehicle for transportation. Anytime a location requires residents to have cars for transportation, there are car accident risks. You should know that collisions can occur on interstates, but they can also occur in neighborhood settings. Whether you were injured while commuting or you were harmed in a car crash that occurred during a community errand, an experienced Eastmont car accident attorney at the Khan Injury Law can assist you with your case.

Common Causes of Eastmont Car Accidents

Eastmont car accidents have many different causes, and in some cases, more than one party may be at fault for a serious collision. To give you a sense of liability, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) identifies the following as common causes of traffic crashes:

Drunk or intoxicated driving;
Distracted driving;
Aggressive driving, such as speeding or tailgating;
Drowsy or fatigued driving;
Inclement weather;
Poor road conditions; and
Defective auto parts, such as defective brakes.

Driver error is the leading cause of motor vehicle collisions in Washington and throughout the country, and those mistakes typically occur as a result of negligent behaviors such as distracted driving, aggressive driving, or impaired driving. It is also important to know that another driver can still be liable for injuries in a collision even if there was inclement weather. While heavy rains may play a role in making roads more dangerous, motorists have a duty to adjust their driving accordingly. As such, if a driver is traveling at a speed that is too fast given the conditions—even if it is within the posted speed limit—that driver can still be liable for any injuries in a collision.
