Most of us are pedestrians at one time or another, every day. Most of the time, we take it for granted that we can walk on the roadway without any problems or incidents. However, pedestrian accidents are becoming an increasingly common occurrence in Seattle and the rest of Washington State. Most of these pedestrian accidents result in serious or catastrophic injuries, if not death. Washington still has a record for safety that compares favorably to many other states, which is good. However, pedestrian accidents do happen because of various factors. It can of course, happen when pedestrians are not careful on the roadway. Many of these incidents occur because motorists fail to yield right-of-way by not watching the road carefully and looking out for pedestrians.
