Is Washington an at-fault state?
I’m moving to Seattle soon for a new job. Is Washington an at-fault state for car accidents?

Congratulations on the new job! That’s a great question. Washington is a comparative fault state when it comes to car accidents.
This means that, depending on the circumstances of an accident, fault may be assigned to one or both parties involved in a car accident. The driver or drivers found at fault will be liable for covering all or some of the costs associated with property damages and injuries after a collision.
If you’re moving to Washington, this also means it’s essential to protect your wallet by ensuring you have the right amount of
liability coverage
when you update your car insurance
policy.Luckily, the
Jerry
app can help you make quick work of that. It takes less than a minute to start comparing personalized quotes, and our licensed insurance agents can help answer questions you might have, including about liability coverage, if they arise.Even better, the average driver who makes a switch saves over $800 per year on their car insurance!
