Arcata Car Accident & Personal Injury Lawyer

Arcata is a college town that is an exciting home for nature lovers and those who enjoy participating in many outdoor activities where they live. Home to Humboldt State University and the Kinetic Sculpture Race, Arcata is surrounded by the beauties of nature and offers a peaceful way of life but with plenty to do. Route 101 cuts through the middle of town and leads south to San Francisco, about 280 miles away.

Although serious car accidents are fewer in the town of Arcata itself, Route 101, despite its beauty, is the scene of more frequent serious accidents. Driving along California Route 101 or Highway 299 presents the most danger to residents of Arcata. Driving on Highway 299 with a high incidence of mudslides can be harrowing.

Residents undoubtedly know that Humboldt County has the highest number of fatalities in the state due to accidents. Problems at intersections and the winding roads in the county may be a contributing factor, so staying alert for dangers is a necessary precaution.

Personal injury cases are where an individual suffers a physical, emotional, or psychological injury. An automobile accident caused by another driver may include more than bodily injury in some cases. It may consist of emotional stress as an individual relives the accident repeatedly, and it may also cause psychological damage.

Personal injury cases cover a broad spectrum of injuries. The following are some of the types of personal injury cases we handle:

• Defects in medical devices
• Dog bites
• Medical malpractice
• Motorcycle accidents
• Traumatic injuries
• Truck accidents
• Vehicular accidents
• Wrongful death

While choosing the right Arcata car accident lawyer might sound complicated, a few hints can make the process much easier.

First of all, choose a lawyer who only practices personal injury law. Since insurance companies tend to make low settlement offers, ensure your attorney has trial experience.

Check on an attorney's settlements and verdicts. Does the attorney win a high number of cases? An attorney who has lectured or written on subjects in his field shows that they are knowledgeable.

Finally, some cases can cost money upfront in accident reconstruction and expert witnesses. You should get a good idea of whether the lawyer can afford to pay the cost needed to mount a good case from the law firm's size.
