Drivers must always be aware of any obstacles around them. Being a Kent Pedestrian Accident Lawyer at a Bellevue Injury Law Firm I realize the different causes of serious auto accidents and how to avoid them. Driving responsibly is the best way to avoid serious auto accidents. Every driver must understand the risks involved in operating a 3,000 pound ball of steal. Following traffic laws, watching your surroundings and avoiding alcohol and drugs that can alter your reactions are all easy ways to avoid accidents.

At 11:00pm, Thursday night (Oct. 28th), hundreds of people were exiting the Showbox Theater on First Avenue in downtown Seattle. After exiting the theater and crossing the street, five pedestrians were struck by a drunk driver. One woman received life-threatening injuries and was transported to Harborview Medical Center and remains in Critical condition while the other four victims were treated for minor wounds and lacerations. As all of the accident victims were attended to, the female driver was arrested for driving intoxicated.

Delayed reaction time and impaired judgment are common side effects of drunk driving and can have serious consequences. Sadly, drunk drivers are more likely to end up in an accident than be caught by police and arrested. Always be sure to have a designated driver with you while consuming alcohol. And as a pedestrian you must be extra cautious of inattentive drivers. When walking down busy streets always be sure to cross the road at a marked intersection and always look both ways before crossing the street, even if it appears if there is little traffic.
