What do I do after an accident that results in a Washington traffic ticket?

Filed under: Traffic Law — admin @ 12:53 pm

When you get into an accident, try to take pictures of everything afterwards, especially if you have inappropriately been issued a Seattle traffic ticket for Failure to Yield, Following too close, or Failure to Obey Sign.

Take pictures of the road, the signs, the cars, and anything else that might be relevant in fighting your infraction.  Most people now have cameras with their phones.  So, it is easy to do.  This could help with both your insurance claims and also with defending against any possible WA State tickets that were issued as a result of the accident.

A series of photos is going to hold a lot more weight in traffic court in proving what actually happened, as opposed to one of our Washington traffic attorneys simply calling you testify.  This often results in a situation where it’s simply your word against the word of the other driver, who want to see you convicted so they can move forward with their personal injury claim.
