Whether they happen in a packed parking lot, at a busy intersection, or on a highway such as WA-520, front-end car accidents in Redmond often cause life-changing injuries to everyone involved. If you were hurt in a crash caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be dealing with expensive medical bills, a permanent loss of working capacity, immense physical and psychological pain, and a host of other unexpected losses.
You deserve fair financial reimbursement for every financial, physical, and personal loss that you have suffered. Support from a seasoned car accident lawyer could be essential to holding the right person, or in some cases, multiple people, accountable for their misconduct. For help pursuing a settlement demand or lawsuit over a head-on collision, contact our legal team at Narwal Injury Law today. We could provide the custom-tailored and compassionate support you need during this difficult time.
Because establishing liability is rarely straightforward, filing a lawsuit over a head-on collision in Redmond can be challenging. In cases involving distracted or drunk driving, assigning blame for an ensuing accident is fairly simple. However, proving fault can be a lot more complicated when, for example, a crash occurred on a narrow two-lane road where either driver could have been the one to veer over the center line.
Building a successful lawsuit or settlement demand over this type of accident requires extensive evidence demonstrating that someone else committed a moving violation or otherwise acted irresponsibly directly before your crash. In addition, the state’s pure comparative fault system established by Revised Code of Washington § 4.22.005 allows the court to reduce an individual’s compensation according to their percentage of fault in their accident and injuries. Therefore, it is important to prove that you do not hold any comparative responsibility for causing your own injuries through misconduct.
A dedicated attorney could obtain, preserve, and make effective use of evidence such as witness testimony, crash scene photos, and surveillance and dashboard camera footage to ensure your case is as strong as possible.
Our team could also work with you to identify whether additional people besides the driver of the other vehicle involved in your crash hold partial or primary liability for your injuries. For example, if your Redmond front-end auto wreck was caused by someone who acted negligently while driving as part of their job, their employer may hold vicarious liability.
Similarly, if someone was involved in an accident at an intersection specifically because their brakes unexpectedly failed while they were approaching a red light, it might be possible to hold a negligent mechanic liable for their failure to identify and replace the faulty part. It may also be possible to hold the manufacturer of faulty brakes or the car as a whole strictly liable for a dangerous product defect.
In addition, Narwal Injury Law could also provide essential help in holding government entities liable for a failure to keep public roads safe if poor road conditions contributed to your crash. Our founding attorney, Gurjot Narwal, has extensive experience in government tort defense and understands what kinds of strategies are effective on the plaintiff side of such cases.
Compared to other types of auto accidents, head-on collisions are uniquely dangerous and especially likely to result in catastrophic or even deadly injuries. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to take effective legal action over this kind of wreck, especially if you have no experience with the civil court system or with insurance negotiations.
However, you do not have to deal with this situation on your own. Our team at Narwal Injury Law has experience navigating the aftermath of front-end car accidents in Redmond and could guide you through the legal process. By working closely with a skilled car accident lawyer, you could give yourself the best possible chance of obtaining the compensation you need to recover.
