Car Accidents

If you were involved in a car accident in Yakima County and have questions about your rights, contact our experienced automobile accident attorneys right away so we can offer you a free consultation and legal advice regarding your case. Increasingly, car accidents in Sunnyside, Washington are caused by DUI (driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol), distracted driving, or reckless driving due to excessive speed. Although some of these cases require criminal defense, others require the expertise of an experienced personal injury attorney. Let Abeyta Nelson Injury Law put our combined 100 years of experience to work for you to resolve your car accident case.

Truck Accidents

It is estimated that 70% of all U.S. products reach their destination via large semi-trucks. With an explosion in demand for goods as a result of COVID-19 and the relatively recent phenomenon of 1 or 2-day shipping, the trucking industry is booming. With this increase in demand for products, the industry is scrambling like never before to quickly hire drivers to fill trucking positions, and this has resulted in an increasing number of truck accidents caused by careless, inexperienced, and exhausted drivers. Additionally, the size and weight of large trucks, tire and brake failure issues and the complexity of operating such vehicles have all contributed to an increase in trucking accidents and fatalities. Abeyta Nelson holds wrongdoers on the road accountable for their negligence, and for your injuries. Contact Abeyta Nelson, Central Washington’s experienced personal injury law firm, if you or a loved one are seriously injured in a truck accident.

Motorcycle Accidents

For many motorcycle enthusiasts, the thrill of riding on the open road greatly outweighs the risk of getting in an accident. But the reality is that motorcycle riders are much more vulnerable to serious injury or fatalities than those riding in an enclosed vehicle like a car or truck. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that 13 cars out of every 100,000 are involved in a fatal accident, while motorcycles have a fatality rate of 72 per 100,000. Controlling a motorcycle requires driving skills and balance that are not necessary when driving a car.

Additionally, the unique design of a motorcycle offers no protection to a rider if he or she falls off the bike at high speeds. That means that motorcycle accidents are more likely to result in severe injuries to the brain and spinal cord, or even death. The award-winning personal injury lawyers of Abeyta Nelson bring a combined 100 years of experience to every motorcycle accident case. If you or a loved one are seriously injured in a motorcycle accident, contact us today for a free consultation.

Uninsured Motorist

Most of us assume if we’re involved in a Sunnyside car accident, our car insurance and the insurance on the other driver’s vehicle will pay for any medical expenses or vehicle damage. But this assumption could not be further from the truth. Although the state of Washington requires that drivers insure their vehicles, many do not have adequate insurance to fully compensate an accident victim if they get into an accident, or they have no insurance on their vehicle at all. Uninsured or underinsured motorists are a frequent occurrence, and some estimate that as many as half of the cars on Central Washington roads are uninsured.

That’s why it’s critical to purchase Underinsured Motorist (UIM) car insurance coverage if you experience an injury caused by a driver who is uninsured or underinsured. UIM covers you, members of your household, and others riding in your car against damages caused by an uninsured or underinsured motorist. Abeyta Nelson Injury Law is ready to provide free consultation and legal advice regarding this complex area of personal injury law in Washington state. Contact us regarding your UIM claim today.

Wrongful Death

The death of a loved one is a painful trauma that is often hard to describe. But the death of a loved one due to the negligence of another can make that loss even more profound for the family members left to endure the loss. Wrongful death can happen as a result of accidents relating to a car accident caused by a drunk driver, a semi-truck traveling at speeds inappropriate for road conditions, an unsafe environment in the workplace, a defective product, such as an unsecured dresser falling on a child, or a distracted driver striking a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

Abeyta Nelson Injury Law has handled hundreds of wrongful death cases in Washington state. We’ll walk with you through your case every step of the way, and provide the legal expertise and emotional support you need during this difficult time. Call us today for a free consultation and legal advice regarding your wrongful death case.

Falls

Slip and fall accidents represent the leading cause of hospital emergency room visits in Sunnyside, Washington, and across the United States. Snow and ice can increase the chance of slipping and falling in driveways, parking lots, and on sidewalks – but falls can happen any time of the year, either at home or away. If you fall on someone else’s property, there are additional steps to take immediately when you’re away from home to get proper medical treatment and documentation of the injury. Contact the accident injury lawyers of Abeyta Nelson for a free consultation about your case.

Dog Bites

What would you do if you were a victim of a dog bite or other animal attack? Though you may think it’s unlikely to happen, approximately 1 in 5 people in the U.S. are bitten by dogs each year. A dog bite can be serious and can cause long-term emotional and physical harm to accident victims. The WA personal injury lawyers of Abeyta Nelson Injury Law are ready to provide legal advice for you in this complex area of law.
