Driving a car year-round in Eastern Washington means dealing with a wide range of weather conditions, including rain, fog, ice and snow. Inclement weather is a factor in many car accidents, and such crashes can leave you with extensive losses. That's why it's so important to have an experienced Spokane car accident lawyer on your side.
You can't claim compensation from Mother Nature after a weather-related crash, but you can take legal action against a negligent person who failed to appropriately adjust for the conditions. Richard E. Lewis, P.S. can help.
Obviously, no one is responsible for the weather itself. But motorists, manufacturers and municipal governments are all responsible for responding to the weather in a way that makes our roads as safe as possible. Some responsible parties in a weather-related accident might include:
In short, just because weather was a contributing factor to your accident doesn't mean no one was at fault. Drunk driving, speeding and distracted driving are all a problem on rainy or snowy days just as much as on sunny days – and their negligence is even less acceptable in poor conditions because of the elevated accident risk. That's why you need an attorney on your side to hold those negligent parties accountable.
In order to get the compensation you need and deserve after a weather-related crash, you need an attorney who knows the area, the roads and the law. You need someone who the insurance companies know they have to respect and will advocate for you in negotiations and at trial. You need attorney Richard E. Lewis.
