Protecting Your Rights After Any Accident

Insurance Companies Don't Fight Fair

Your injury isn’t your fault.

But without a personal injury lawyer, you’re stuck dealing with insurance companies that want to pay you as little as possible.

While your medical bills pile up and your injuries get worse, they’re hoping you’ll give up and accept a lowball offer. That’s why you need personal injury lawyers who know how to fight back.

The Core Services We Specialize In

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

We represent clients across many types of personal injury cases. If you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s negligence, we’re ready to fight for you.

Medical bills come in, you can’t work, and the insurance company wants to settle fast and cheap. We help car accident victims pursue a personal injury claim that covers what they’re actually owed.

If you or a family member has been bitten, you may be able to hold the owner accountable for medical expenses and more.

These personal injury cases often involve multiple parties—trucking companies, insurers, and corporate legal teams. We know how to take them on and win.

It could cover funeral expenses, lost income, and the emotional toll on your family. We handle wrongful death claims with care and urgency.
And when they survive, they’re often blamed unfairly. If you’ve been injured on a bike, you need a personal injury lawyer who understands the road and the law.

If you’re hit by a driver with no insurance or not enough coverage, we’ll help you explore every option to recover what you’re owed.

When they don’t—and you’re injured because of it—you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Our attorneys have recovered $90 million for wildfire victims across the Pacific Northwest. These cases are complex, often involving utilities, government agencies, or contractors. We know how to investigate and win them.

What Our Clients Say

Frequently Asked Questions

If you were injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you likely have a personal injury claim worth pursuing. Insurance companies rarely offer fair compensation without legal pressure. An experienced personal injury lawyer at Abeyta Nelson can evaluate your case and tell you what it’s actually worth.

We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront and nothing at all unless we win your case.

No. Insurance companies are businesses; they make money by paying out as little as possible. When dealing with insurance companies, remember: they are not on your side. Adjusters may delay, deny, or pressure you into accepting less than what you deserve. Having a personal injury lawyer levels the playing field.

In Washington state, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. There are exceptions for minors and certain circumstances. Don’t wait: the sooner you consult with an attorney, the stronger your personal injury claims tend to be.

Yes. We have bilingual staff members who speak both English and Spanish, so you can communicate comfortably in the language you prefer.

Significant. Insurance companies routinely offer lowball settlements to people without representation. In one example, a client was offered $6,000 by their insurer, but our personal injury attorneys secured $154,000. Personal injury lawyers know what cases are actually worth.
