Some of the most common causes of auto accidents we see in the North Highlands area include:

Distractions like cell phones, passengers, and dashboard infotainment systems often cause drivers to take their eyes off the road. This greatly increases accident risk.

Driving while fatigued can impair reaction times as much as alcohol intoxication. Drivers who don't get enough rest are at high risk of falling asleep at the wheel.

Excess speed gives drivers less time to react and extends stopping distances. This makes car accidents that much more likely.

Alcohol impairment and substance intoxication slow reaction times and impact coordination and judgment. Even a little bit of alcohol can be extremely dangerous.

Weaving through traffic, ignoring traffic signals, tailgating, and other reckless behaviors threaten everyone on the road.

Rain, snow, fog, and sun glare can reduce visibility and make roads slick. This can lead to loss of control.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a negligent driver engaging in any of these behaviors, our North Highlands injury law firm can help. We have a strong record of success in many accident cases and recovering damages for accident victims in the area.

The injuries caused by auto accidents can range from mild strains and bruises to catastrophic harm resulting disability or death. Some of the most common accident injuries we see include:

These injuries can cause memory loss, concentration and focus issues, vertigo and balance problems, speech impairment, and personality changes.

Herniated discs, fractures, pinched nerves, and spinal cord damage often require complicated surgery and lengthy rehabilitation.

Broken bones, joint and ligament tears, amputations, and severe soft tissue damage.

Disfiguring scarring is common after auto wrecks involving fires, dragging, or shattered glass.

Many crash survivors struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and phobias stemming from the accident.

All of these issues can interfere with enjoyment of life, ability to work, independence, and personal and family relationships. Our firm fights to help North Highlands accident victims secure coverage for all accident related expenses - both present and future.

After being injured in a crash, your focus is likely on getting physically and emotionally well. But there are many legal matters that must be addressed as well. These include:

• Gathering evidence and reconstructing how the crash happened
• Determining all liable parties
• Assessing complete current and future damages
• Negotiating your claim with insurance company companies
• Filing documents in accordance with strict time limits
• Appearing in court if a settlement cannot be reached

Handling these intricate legal details while recovering from major injuries can feel overwhelming for accident victims and families. This is where an experienced North Highlands car wreck personal injury attorney, can help protect your rights and ease your stress. With a quality lawyer, you can leave the complicated legal work to the professionals while you take care of your health.

An aggressive car accident lawyer knows how to deal with insurance companies. We are familiar with their common tactics and dirty tricks. We have the trial experience and legal resources needed to challenge unreasonable insurers. Our goal is to obtain the full and fair settlement amount you deserve. We routinely recover millions of dollars for clients - getting them far more than they could on their own.

It is always in your best interest to at least consult with a car accident lawyer before speaking to any insurance carriers following a collision. The actions you take in the hours and days after an accident can impact your ability to recover later on. To protect your rights, call us as soon after the incident as possible. We can start gathering evidence and documenting injuries immediately.

However, it is rarely too late to involve experienced legal counsel - even months or years after the crash occurred. The statute of limitations for injury claims gives accident victims up to two years from the date of incident to take legal action in most cases. Our firm has even helped clients who were turned away by other attorneys due to time restrictions secure favorable outcomes.

With an attorney fighting on your behalf, multiple types of damages may be available to help you recover - including:

• Past and future medical expenses - Any treatment related to crash injuries like hospitalization, surgery, therapy, medication, devices, and in-home care. We obtain life care plans projecting all expected costs.
• Lost income - If injuries prevent you from working temporarily or indefinitely, you deserve fair compensation for that lost pay.
• Loss of future earnings - Permanent disabilities may reduce earning capacity going forward. Experts can estimate this lifetime loss.
• Property damage - Repairs or replacement cost for any vehicles or other personal property damaged.
• Pain and suffering - Monetary compensation for any physical pain and emotional distress stemming from the accident.
• Loss of consortium - If injuries impair spousal relations, compensation may be available to cover that loss.
• Punitive damages - If gross negligence caused the wreck, additional payments may be awarded to punish the behavior.
• Wrongful death - Compensation for factors like funeral costs, lost wages, inheritance, and loss of companionship may be awarded if a loved one is killed.
