A tragic rollover crash east of Snoqualmie Pass on Interstate 90 has left a five-year-old child injured, underscoring the devastating consequences of vehicle accidents caused by negligence. At Blanford Law, we understand the profound impact that child injury cases can have on victims and their families, and we are committed to helping those affected pursue justice and compensation.
Details of the Incident
On February 14, 2025, at approximately 10:58 AM, a white 2004 Cadillac truck lost control and rolled over in Hyak, according to the Washington State Patrol. The driver, Edgar Cartay-Morales, 50, of Bayshore, NY, escaped unharmed, but his young passenger, Edliam A. Cartay-Henriquez, was seriously injured and transported to Harborview Medical Center for medical treatment. Trooper Brett W. Lovell reported that while the cause of the accident remains under investigation, drugs and alcohol have been ruled out. The Cadillac was declared totaled, and charges against Mr. Cartay-Morales are pending further investigation.
Legal Considerations in Rollover Accidents
A vehicle accident, especially a rollover crash, can result in catastrophic injuries, particularly when child injury is involved. Possible causes of these accidents include:
- Driver negligence, such as speeding or reckless driving
- Mechanical failures or defective vehicle components
- Hazardous road conditions
- Failure to properly secure child passengers
Even in single-vehicle crashes, liability may extend beyond the driver to include vehicle manufacturers, government agencies responsible for road maintenance, or other third parties whose negligence contributed to the accident. Seeking legal help from an experienced personal injury lawyer can make a significant difference in obtaining justice.
