Washington’s Pedestrian Right-of-Way Laws
Washington has some of the most robust pedestrian protections in the country. Under RCW 46.61.235, drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians at every crosswalk, whether marked or unmarked. Every intersection in the state is considered a legal crosswalk. RCW 46.61.245 also requires all drivers to exercise due care to avoid hitting a pedestrian on any roadway.
Despite these protections, pedestrian accidents in Everett still happen regularly. Some of the most common causes include:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Failing to stop or yield at crosswalks
- Making turns without checking for pedestrians
- Driving under the influence
You may be owed compensation so long as someone else is responsible for your accident. Contact our law firm today to learn more about your legal rights and options.
