Respected Rancho Cordova Car Accident Attorneys

We hold the highest possible rating, AV Preeminent, from Martindale-Hubbard, a nationally recognized peer-review rating system. We have been members in good standing of the California State Bar for over thirty years.

Car Accidents in Rancho Cordova

According to data published by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), 250 collisions resulting in fatal or other injuries were recorded in 2022. Key factors include speeding (53 incidents), impaired driving (27 incidents), and hit-and-run crashes (23 incidents).

Contingency Fee Structure: No Fee Unless You Win

A contingency fee is one that you pay only if you win a settlement and only when you win a settlement. If you don’t win, you don’t pay. This is highly beneficial because there are no upfront costs to a client. This structure ensures our attorneys will work diligently for the maximum settlement possible. Rest assured, if we agree to take your case, we intend to win.

Common Car Accident Injuries

As you can imagine, car accident injuries can vary widely. The range of injuries people suffer in car accidents is enormous. However, some injuries are more common than others. Types of injuries our Rancho Cordova car accident lawyers see frequently include:

• Arm, foot, and leg fractures
• Brain trauma
• Concussions and traumatic brain injury
• Hip dislocations
• Internal organ damage
• Lower back strain and bulging discs
• Spine injuries
• Whiplash/neck injuries

Hypothetical Case Study: Improper Signage in Construction Zone

One example of a successful car accident claim occurring on Rancho Cordova’s busy roadways includes this example: A person sitting in a line of cars waiting to proceed through a neighborhood near Zinfandel Drive and Coloma Road that was undergoing repaving was rear-ended when the vehicle behind them failed to stop in time.

The victim who was hit was compensated fully for their neck injury resulting from whiplash and the damage to their car, which was extensive. The person who failed to stop also filed a claim and won a settlement due to the lack of signage in the construction zone. In multi-car accidents like these, especially ones that involve a third party, it is vital to have an experienced car accident attorney who understands the complexities of the law.

Can I file a wrongful death lawsuit if my loved one died in a car accident?

In California, if your loved one died in a car accident that wasn’t their fault, you can file a wrongful death suit. That is because wrongful death is defined as a death caused by the negligence of another person (or entity). Our Rancho Cordova car accident attorneys have helped countless clients, including spouses and adult children, recover compensation by filing a wrongful death claim.

Who can file a wrongful death suit?

Specific individuals are eligible to file a wrongful death claim in California. These include:

• The surviving spouse or domestic partner
• The surviving children
• The surviving grandchildren (if the victim has no living children).

There are exceptions to this, which can be explained at a free consultation. If you have lost a loved one in a car accident, we welcome the call to make an appointment to learn about your options.

Economic Damages Resulting from a Car Accident

Economic damages refer to those that can be quantified or added up to a specific amount of money. These include:

• Medical expenses (ER visits, hospital stays, estimated future rehabilitation, etc.)
• Lost income
• Property damage
• Out-of-pocket miscellaneous expenses (e.g., transportation to medical appointments or work if you are without a vehicle or cannot drive or hire someone to do household chores if you are unable to).

Non-economic Damages

Non-economic damages, which are more subjective, compensate victims for how an accident has impacted a person’s quality of life. These include:

• Pain and Suffering: physical and emotional
• Emotional Distress: significant psychological trauma resulting from the accident, like anxiety and depression
• Loss of Consortium: impact the accident has had on your primary relationships

Damages are not always straightforward. If you have been in a car accident and have questions, call for a free consultation. We will help you fully understand your options.
