Kennewick, WA: Since 1947, Leavy Schultz Davis has represented thousands of victims across the Tri-Cities. In reviewing local traffic safety concerns, the firm points to serious injury crashes and preventable driver behaviors as ongoing issues for motorists in Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland.
The car accident attorneys at Leavy Schultz Davis believe that understanding the common causes of serious crashes is an important first step toward improving driver awareness and reducing preventable accidents.
One cause is distracted driving. Texting and phone use, especially in high-traffic corridors such as Court Street and Columbia Center Boulevard, can cause drivers to lose focus and contribute to serious collisions.
Impaired driving is another common factor in serious crashes, according to the firm. In addition to putting lives at risk, DUI crashes are also often complex and, in some instances, can involve both civil and criminal proceedings. However, similar to distracted driving, drunk and drugged driving is preventable.
Other contributing factors, such as speeding and reckless driving, often result from a combination of risky behavior and local road conditions. In the Tri-Cities, wide, grid-style streets can give drivers a false sense of security, encouraging speeds that are not safe, even in neighborhoods and busy commercial areas. The road network connecting Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland also creates challenging merge and yield points, and some busy arterials, like Road 68 in Pasco, are known locally for heavy traffic and challenging crash patterns, including T-bone and angle collisions.
These types of crashes can be particularly difficult to litigate because they often rely on witness accounts and traffic camera footage. For this reason, the firm strongly recommends that anyone involved in an accident speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
The firm also points out that some drivers in the Tri-Cities either do not have insurance or do not carry enough coverage to fully protect accident victims. In those situations, an injured person's own auto policy may provide coverage through uninsured or underinsured motorist benefits. Because these claims can involve policy review, medical documentation, accident evidence, and communication with the insurance company, the firm recommends speaking with an attorney after a serious crash.
When assisting clients, Leavy Schultz Davis takes the time to thoroughly develop each injury claim and pursue fair compensation. The attorneys' work draws on deep local knowledge, including an understanding of regional roads, the local court system, and the way insurance carriers in Eastern Washington handle claims.
