Outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy skiing a Washington state are likely aware of the inherent risks of their chosen sport. These include changing weather conditions, snow immersions, avalanches, ice, slush and unexpected changes that cause hazardous packs of snow. Skiers who know about potential risks can be cautious and avoid accidents, but what are their legal rights if personal injury is suffered as the result of a ski resort's negligence?
Avoid driving in snowy, icy conditions to avoid personal injury
Washington residents are said to be experiencing the snowiest winter since the 1940s. With many drivers being more used to rain than snow and ice on the roads, extra caution is necessary by those who have to drive in such hazardous conditions. Failure to take due care might be regarded as negligence in the event of an accident that leads to personal injury claims.
Personal injury claim might follow hit-and-run driver's surrender
Whenever a hit-and-run driver strikes anyone in Washington state, the chances of recovering damages depend on the ability of law enforcement to locate the driver. This came to play in a recent case in which a hit-and-run driver gave himself up to law enforcement. It might make it easier for the pedestrian who was struck to pursue a personal injury lawsuit.
