Serving Injured Residents in Plumas Lake and Yuba County

We represent Plumas Lake and Yuba County residents severely injured in accidents. Our personal injury law firm handles a wide variety of cases, including:

The "Personal" Personal Injury Lawyers

We are known as the "personal" personal injury lawyers. This is because we always make sure to put our clients first. We must show empathy to the people we work with who have suffered physical pain and emotional trauma from an accident. We know that the anxiety, emotions, and sadness caused by significant accidents are tough to deal with.

We Handle Wrongful Death Cases

We're also well aware that losing somebody you love can mean overwhelming grief and that these feelings can paralyze you after such a tragic loss. It's not a mistake that these tragedies are called "wrongful death" cases. We are here to help you recover both financially and personally.

We Take All Cases on a Contingency Fee Basis

We take severe injury cases based on contingency. You are not responsible for paying me any lawyers' fees unless we can successfully resolve your matter. Taking cases on contingency means we can help people who have been seriously injured but don't have the money to afford a lawyer.

Finding the Right Plumas Lake Personal Injury Lawyer for You

You have seen all the television commercials, internet ads, and billboards; personal injury lawyers are everywhere. Many of the advertisements you see will make huge promises, but, in reality, very few of these lawyers are adequately prepared to do everything possible to help you get the full compensation you deserve.

Many personal lawyers who advertise high success rates will negotiate settlements with insurance companies for less money than their clients should be paid. While others may consider this a victory, we ensure that our clients are compensated for the full amount of money they owe.

You might think we're not the best attorney for your needs, which is fine. Regardless, below are some of the essential things that you should consider before choosing an injury lawyer to represent you in your case:

  • Experience - Does your lawyer have experience with personal injury law? Do they focus exclusively on personal injury cases? Beyond this, does the attorney have much courtroom experience, and are they comfortable bringing a case to trial? Often, all you need to do is ask a lawyer whether or not they are comfortable taking a case to court if an insurance company is giving lowball offers. Their response can give you a good sense of whether or not they are ready to argue your case in court. They should answer 'yes' to all the questions above.
  • Reputation - Is the lawyer well-respected in their community and by their clients? You can easily see what people think of a lawyer by checking out their review pages on Yelp, Facebook, Avvo, LinkedIn, and Google. People have hired an attorney to speak about their experiences on these pages. These reviews will give you an honest picture of an attorney's personal and professional merits.
  • Settlements and Verdicts - One of the best ways to see if a lawyer is good at what they do is to look at their work history. Feel free to question potential lawyers about how they've been able to settle cases in the past and how much money they have won their clients. Your lawyer should be proud of their successes and pleased to be able to share them with you. 
  • Financial - Can your lawyer take your case to trial if necessary? Some law firms are simply too small to afford a full trial. You should be sure that when it comes to fairly resolving your case, money won't be an issue between you and the compensation you need.
