What the Law Says

Under RCW 46.52.020, a driver involved in a collision that injures any person must stop immediately, remain at the scene, and give their name, address and vehicle information, as well as reasonable aid. Leaving the scene of a crash involving injury can be charged as a criminal offense, and in some cases as a felony.

Washington’s comparative fault law, RCW 4.22.005, reduces an injured person’s recovery in proportion to any fault assigned to them, rather than barring it outright. That is why the facts of how a crash happened, such as lighting, video and witness accounts, can matter in a claim.

This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.
