Injured in a California Car Accident? You Deserve a Fair Fight
Traffic on Interstate 80, Highway 99, and surface roads throughout Sacramento, Stockton, and Roseville is frequently marred by daily crashes caused by speeding, distracted driving, and reckless behavior. These corridors rank among California’s most dangerous, according to DMV crash reports, and too often, innocent drivers pay the price.
Under California’s fault-based insurance system, you have the right to hold the at-fault driver accountable. This includes compensation for hospital bills, lost income, car damage, and pain and suffering resulting from injuries. But while the law is clear, insurance companies often aren’t. They downplay injuries, shift blame, or push quick settlements that don’t reflect your real losses.
An experienced car accident attorney can push back, preserve key evidence, and calculate the full value of your case. Time matters. California law gives most victims just two years to file a claim, and waiting for too long weakens your case.
