- Wrongful DeathOne of the most frightening accident scenes to encounter is a highway truck crash involving a large commercial truck, semi-truck, or tractor-trailer. Trucking accidents can be extremely devastating to those involved, resulting in the destruction of smaller vehicles, serious personal injuries such as brain injuries, or in some cases, wrongful death of drivers or passengers.
- Traffic ViolationsAnother serious safety hazard arises when truck drivers travel faster than the posted speed limit – sometimes much faster. The maximum speed for truckers is 10 miles per hour less than the posted speed for other vehicles. Unfortunately, many truckers attempt to make up for time lost climbing hills by speeding downhill.Big trucks on our highways create the potential for big motor vehicle accidents. With approximately 70% of all deliverable U.S. products arriving via commercial vehicles, it is no surprise that the trucking industry is booming. Semi-trucks pulling long trailers flood our nation’s roadway system during peak times like retail holidays, the summer season, or the pandemic supply shortage caused by COVID-19.
- FraudIf you’ve been in a car accident in Washington state, the best way to document the damage to your vehicle is by taking photos. Photos provide evidence that can help prove who was at fault in an accident. In addition, photographic documentation can protect you from insurance fraud and ensure the accuracy of the police report. When taking photos after an accident, include the injured people, the area where the crash occurred, and both wide and close-up angles of damaged vehicles. To increase your chances of getting a good settlement, always make it a priority to take photos after you’ve been involved in an accident.
- Theft
- Hit and RunDid you know Washington State has one of the highest uninsured motorist rates in the country? Your chance of being involved in a car accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist in Central Washington is between 50-60%. This can have serious financial and health implications for accident victims or loved ones left with serious injuries, and for those involved in wrongful death or hit-and-run accidents.
- Business Disputes
- Real Estate LitigationWhile other Yakima personal injury law firms may end their relationship with clients after their case has concluded, Abeyta Nelson personal injury lawyers often refer clients or potential clients to attorneys who specialize in estate planning, business law, real estate law, family law, or any number of other practice areas to help resolve other legal issues.
- Premises LiabilityThere are also those who are injured on someone else’s property outside of a slip and fall accident. Some common causes of premises liability cases include tripping on an unmarked rise in a sidewalk, falling into an uncovered pothole, having items fall on you while shopping in a grocery store, being injured on unsafe staircases with missing or sub-standard handrails, elevators or escalators operating under unsafe conditions, or poor lighting which leads to an injury.
- Property DamageIn the state of Washington, anyone who drives a motor vehicle must fulfill the mandatory auto insurance law by purchasing liability coverage. This type of car insurance pays medical bills, property damage or other costs resulting from a vehicle accident that is your fault, or the fault of your family member who may be driving at the time. Your own liability insurance essentially covers the other party, if the auto accident is your fault.
