North Seattle Car Accident Injures Three

Three people sustained critical injuries in a Seattle car accident after one car collided head-on with another vehicle. According to a KOMO news report, one of the vehicles, which was traveling south on 3rd Avenue NW crashed into an oncoming Mercedes on NW 137th. The driver and a passenger of the Mercedes had to be extricated from the wreckage and were transported to an area hospital with critical injuries. A person in the other car also sustained major injuries. Traffic investigators are still trying to determine what caused this serious injury car crash, but witnesses apparently, told officials that the other car was speeding before it struck the Mercedes.

In any car accident that involves reckless, speeding, impaired or negligent driving, the victims who were injured by the other individual’s negligence may be able to seek compensation for damages. In such car accidents, the consequences for victims can be extremely serious. Hospital bills and medical expenses pile up quickly. Loss of earnings can be significant, especially if the accident involves critical injuries where the victim has a long road to recovery. An auto accident may change the life of a victim and his or her family.

There are three components that form a personal injury claim. The first aspect is liability – who caused the accident and who is legally responsible. Secondly, the amount of damages to which you are legally entitled needs to be established. And finally, the determination has to be made as to where to collect the damages, specifically sources such as liability insurance or individual assets that are available for payment of damages.
