Car Accidents in Washington

Injury Crash on I-5 SB near Yakima Ave Accidents like this highlight the dangers that drivers face every day on Washington roads. Tacoma’s busy traffic corridors, especially I-5, see frequent crashes that too often result in devastating injuries.

Common causes of car accidents in Washington include:

  • Distracted driving, often involving phones or in-car screens
  • Speeding on congested highways and intersections
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Fatigue, especially on late-night drives
  • Unsafe lane changes or following too closely
  • Hazardous weather or poor road conditions

The effects of a crash go far beyond the scene. Victims may need surgeries, rehabilitation, and months of medical care. Families often face overwhelming medical bills, lost wages, and the emotional strain of helping loved ones recover. In many cases, these injuries leave lasting impacts that change lives forever.
