Being hit by a vehicle is extremely dangerous and can leave severe to fatal injuries especially for an exposed pedestrian. As a Seattle wrongful death lawyer, I understand the feeling of disbelief that comes with devastating hit and run accidents. King 5 News reported about a Tacoma domestic dispute that led to a hit and run car accident that left one dead. An argument between the pedestrian and the driver of the vehicle prior to the fatal collision makes this hit and run accident unique. Witnesses say a woman was standing in the middle of an intersection when an SUV accelerated and hit her. Before this tragic accident, the woman was screaming and even physically fighting with the driver of the SUV. Police are still investigating the incident but they believe this was an intentional hit and run collision. The driver of the SUV drove away from the scene but later turned herself in to the police, she is being booked with suspected second degree murder charges.

Hit and run accidents are often due to the negligence of a driver that does not want to deal with the consequences of their actions. Because of this, hit and run collisions are an especially dangerous form of accident that often leads to personal injury or even wrongful death. These types of injuries can cause traumatic stress, emotional pain, and financial hardship for you or family members.

If you have lost a loved one in an auto accident your mind will be on recovering emotionally during a very difficult time. Fatal hit and run accidents are devastating for everyone involved. Understanding personal injury or wrongful death cases can get confusing and you may need legal representation to ensure that a hit and run accident that was someone else’s fault does not become a financial burden to your or your family. While of course, your mind is one more important things, you should try to ensure that your future financial health is considered as well, and a Seattle wrongful death attorney may be able to help you with these details that seem so unimportant during this emotional time.
