What the Law Says

Washington’s basic speed rule, RCW 46.61.400, requires drivers to travel at a speed that is reasonable and prudent for the conditions, including intersections, traffic and visibility. A driver who goes faster than conditions allow may be found negligent if that conduct contributes to a collision. Whether this rule applies here would depend on what the investigation shows.

Washington follows pure comparative fault under RCW 4.22.005. An injured person’s compensation is reduced by their percentage of fault but is not barred entirely. That means fault in a multi-car crash can be shared, and how it is assigned matters for any injury claim.

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