WA LOCAL ACCIDENT DATA
In Washington State, approximately 3,000 truck accidents occur each year, with Yakima County accounting for a significant portion of these incidents. Recent statistics indicate that in 2022, Yakima experienced over 150 truck-related accidents, resulting in numerous injuries and several fatalities. Alarmingly, over 60% of these accidents involved driver violations such as speeding or distracted driving, according to FMCSA data.
WA STATE LAW & DEADLINES
Washington follows a modified comparative fault rule for trucking accident claims, meaning victims can still recover compensation even if they are partially at fault, provided their negligence is less than 51%. The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is three years from the date of the accident. Washington also enforces specific trucking regulations that exceed FMCSA requirements, which can affect the valuation of your claim based on compliance with these rules.
HIGH-RISK CORRIDORS
In Yakima, key routes contributing to truck traffic include Interstate 82, which connects Yakima to the Tri-Cities, and U.S. Highway 12, prominent for its commercial vehicle activity. The congested interchange at I-82 and Washington State Route 24 is particularly noted for frequent truck accidents, especially around peak traffic hours.
WHERE YOUR CASE IS FILED
Truck accident cases in Yakima are typically filed in the Yakima County Superior Court, located at 128 N 2nd St, Yakima, WA 98901. Additionally, federal matters may be addressed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington.
ALSO SERVING NEARBY AREAS
We also represent victims across Union Gap, Selah, Tieton, and Ellensburg, ensuring that all truck accident victims in the region receive the help they need.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — YAKIMA

How long do victims in Yakima have to file a claim?

In Washington, truck accident victims generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. This time frame is critical to ensure your rights are protected and you receive the compensation deserved.

Can I still sue if I was partly at fault?

Yes, Washington operates under a modified comparative fault rule. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as your percentage of fault is below 51%. This can influence the amount you are entitled to receive, so it’s essential to speak with a lawyer to clarify your situation.

What trucking companies are commonly involved in accidents in Yakima?

In Yakima, local trucking companies such as A&J Trucking and Yakima Firing Center are frequently involved in truck accidents. Understanding the companies involved can be crucial for your case and determining accountability.

What evidence should I preserve after a truck accident?

Immediately after a truck accident, it's vital to gather evidence such as photographs of the scene, damage to vehicles, and any tire marks. Also, collect contact information from witnesses and ensure a police report is filed, as this documentation will be critical for your claim.
