The injury is often result of someone else’s negligence, carelessness, or intentional actions, and personal injury victims may be entitled to compensation for their damages. The legal system follows pure comparative fault rule, meaning that the amount of damages you can recover will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. Washington negligence laws demand certain elements to make successful personal injury claim, including duty, breach of duty, cause in fact, proximate cause, and damages. Penalties for leaving the scene of an accident can be severe, including jail time and fines.
