seattle car accident

An elderly woman was killed in a Seattle car accident after the vehicle she was a passenger in, collided with another car. According to a news report in the Seattle Times, the victim was traveling in a Suzuki that crashed into a Toyota near the 3800 block of South Graham Street. The driver of the Suzuki and three other people in the Toyota were taken to a hospital. The driver of the Suzuki, officials say, was not under the influence. An investigation is ongoing.

In any car accident case involving two or more vehicles when negligence is suspected, it is very important to look into how or why the collision occurred. Who was at fault for the accident? Did it occur because one of the drivers failed to yield right-of-way? Was the accident caused by a driver who may have run a red light? These are violations of traffic laws and amount to negligence when it comes to a civil claim.

As a car accident victim, you may be able to seek compensation against the negligent party or the entity responsible for the causing the accident or injuries. Such compensation will usually cover medical expenses, loss of earnings, cost of hospitalization and other damages. If the negligence results in death, families of deceased auto accident victims can file wrongful death claims.
