Nevada City Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer

Our law firm focuses on serious injuries over a variety of accident types. The types of personal injury cases we handle include:

• Bicycle Accidents
• Boating Accidents
• Car Accidents
• Dog Bites
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Pedestrian Accidents
• Slip and Fall Injuries
• Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Trucking Accidents
• Wrongful Death

We're known to many as the “personal” personal injury lawyers because we always prioritize the personal well-being of our clients. When we work with clients, we make sure to understand their needs, hopes, and feelings to make sure they are getting the best help possible. 

We are also very aware of the overwhelming grief that is involved in a fatal accident. Losing somebody you care about often brings on a wave of intense emotions that can be confusing and very difficult to manage. The knowledge that your loved one’s death could have been avoided if it wasn’t for another party’s negligent behavior often only makes these feelings even harder to deal with. There is a good reason that these accidents are called “wrongful death cases.” Our priority is to help you claim the compensation you deserve so that you can recover financially and personally after you’ve endured such a tragic loss.

This is a question that is probably on your mind. Nevada City is over an hour away from Sacramento by car, so why wouldn’t you hire a lawyer who lives closer to your home? There are a couple of important reasons that it makes sense to look outside your immediate area for a lawyer. Firstly, many quality small-town law firms have relocated to larger population centers due to recent economic difficulties. Unfortunately, this means that it can be challenging to find a top-rated personal injury law firm in a small town. It is also important that you hire a Nevada City car accident lawyer who specializes in serious injuries. Our firm only takes cases involving severe trauma and is selective about who we choose to take on as clients. Often, firms in areas with smaller client bases aren’t able to specialize in their practice.

You may be one of the many people for whom traveling is difficult because of your injuries. Even if this is the case, we still encourage you to give us a call. We'd be happy to set up a time to meet somewhere that suits your needs.

Lawyers can be expensive, and many people who are injured during a crash are worried that they won’t afford a Nevada City personal injury lawyer or will be left with a serious financial burden if their lawyer is unable to successfully resolve their case. However, we take serious injury cases on a contingency basis, meaning that I do not ask for lawyers’ fees unless we can win or settle your case for the amount you deserve. Operating my firm this way means that we can help people who would otherwise not hire a first-rate attorney to help them.

Most likely, you’ve seen plenty of law firm advertisements online, on television, in newspapers, on billboards, and more. Many of these ads are quick to make a big promise and flash high rates of success. However, we can tell you that very few of these lawyers are truly ready to do everything they can to make sure you receive the money you need.

You may not think that we're the best law firm for your needs, and that’s fine. However, we’d still like to offer you some advice on what to look for when deciding on a Nevada City personal injury attorney. Here are some of the ways of finding a reputable lawyer to handle your personal injury case:

• Lawyer’s Reputation - If you are thinking about hiring a lawyer, you shouldn’t take everything they tell you at face value. It’s always a good idea to make sure that they are respected by the communities they serve. To do this, all you need to do is visit a lawyer’s profiles on sites like Google, Yelp, Avvo, and Facebook. Because the reviews and ratings left on these sites are not published by the attorney, they will let you know what others honestly think about that lawyer’s work.
• Lawyer's Experience - Your lawyer needs to have ample experience with personal injury law. Find out whether your attorney deals exclusively with personal injuries and if they have handled cases like yours in the past. Furthermore, you should check to see if the lawyer has courtroom experience and whether they would be comfortable seeing your case through trial. Many times, all it takes is asking a lawyer if they would go to court with your case. The attorney’s answer can tell you a lot about whether or not they are really prepared.
• Lawyer’s Verdicts and Settlements - A good, experienced lawyer will have a history of verdicts and settlements and should be happy to share them with you. You should always feel free to ask a lawyer about how they have helped their past clients and how much their clients were awarded for their injuries. Many lawyers have pages on their website where you can read a list of their settlements and verdicts. 
• Lawyer's Resources - Sadly, many lawyers simply lack the resources to take a case to court. Money shouldn’t prevent you from holding responsible parties liable for the damages that they have caused.
