To Waive or Not to Waive in Washington

When most people reach the insurance part of the rental agreement they begin playing an internal odds game of do I really need this. What are the odds I'll get into an accident today? Is this policy really worth the money? Unfortunately, car accidents happen when you least expect them, so the odds can be stacked against you. With that said, does the liability coverage provided by the rental company cover you in an accident you're not responsible for? It depends. Most insurance contracts submitted through a rental agreement are loaded with potential exceptions, clauses and sub-clauses. Once again, the odds are generally not in your favor when it comes to the in-house insurance plans.

However this does not mean you aren't without options. Between your own insurance, the insurance offered by the rental house and the at-fault driver's own coverage, there are different ways to get financial compensation. The key to securing any damages will be a strong Washington personal injury attorney with extensive experience dealing with automobile accidents and aggressive insurance companies. Do not attempt to take these entities on by yourself – get the proper representation!
