Car Accident Injuries in Sacramento: Know Your Legal Rights
Car crashes caused by reckless or criminal actions, such as pursuits or fleeing suspects, can leave innocent bystanders seriously injured. In these cases, victims may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost income, and pain and suffering through a personal injury claim.
Under California law, victims have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, when a law enforcement pursuit or a stolen vehicle is involved, determining liability can be complex. Multiple parties, including the driver, vehicle owner, or even public agencies, may share responsibility depending on the circumstances.
An experienced Sacramento car accident lawyer can investigate the collision, identify all liable parties, and pursue fair compensation.
