Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Sacramento?
Call 911 if anyone is injured, then contact Sacramento Police or CHP depending on the accident location. Take photos of vehicle damage, get insurance information, and seek medical attention even for minor symptoms since adrenaline can mask injuries.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in California?
California's statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of injury to file most personal injury lawsuits. However, cases against government entities like Sacramento County have much shorter notice requirements, sometimes as little as six months.
How do I choose the right personal injury attorney in Sacramento?
Many personal injury attorneys work on contingency, meaning they are paid a share of any recovery. Terms vary by attorney.
