🚗 Memorial Day Weekend is here — and while we're all looking forward to BBQs, beach trips, and time with family, it's also one of the most dangerous weekends on the road all year.

From the Abeyta Nelson family to yours — enjoy every moment, and get home safely.

Getting into a car accident with an uninsured, at-fault driver can feel hopeless - but it doesn't mean you're out of options. Depending on the circumstances of the crash and the insurance policies involved, you may be able to recover damages - even when the at-fault driver has no assets.

Abeyta Nelson Injury Law has helped families recover from car accidents since 1982. Contact us today to discuss your case.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month — and this one hits close to home for all of us.

Every single day, 9 people don't make it home because a driver was looking at a phone instead of the road. In 2024 alone, distracted driving claimed 3,208 lives. These aren't just statistics. They're our parents, neighbors, coworkers, kids.

A glance at a text while driving takes your eyes off the road for an average of 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that's the length of a football field driven completely blind.

This month, let's commit to put the phone down before you put the car in drive. Tell your teenagers. Tell your friends. Model it yourself.

If you or someone you love has been hurt by a distracted driver, you don't have to navigate what comes next alone. Abeyta Nelson is here to help.

Rain, flooding, high winds and milder than normal temperatures sum up Washington’s December weather so far. Unpredictable conditions require safe, alert driving, no matter what you drive - but especially if a motorcycle is your chosen mode of transportation. Be aware of standing water, leaves and pine needles that can turn into sludge, and slick metal or painted roadway surfaces.

If the weather’s wet, slow down - or even better, pull over and wait out the storm. Drive carefully to ensure everyone on the road gets home safely.
