Washington state laws require vehicles to stop at intersections to allow pedestrians and bicycles to cross the road within a marked or unmarked crosswalk. Cities, counties and governmental entities may also be held liable for pedestrian accidents if they are the cause of the accident.
If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident it is crucial you file a police report and obtain names and telephone numbers of eyewitnesses. You have got a burden to prove that the motorist or government entity was at fault for the accident.

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
Pedestrian accidents are the most dangerous types of car accidents because you have no car to protect you from the impact of the oncoming vehicle. Broken bones and even death are common in these types of accidents. It’s very important to look for cars before crossing the streets to ensure your safety.
