I'm Ed Smith, a personal injury lawyer since 1982. My law firm handles personal injury claims exclusively. I am one of the most highly rated and experienced attorneys serving clients in Sacramento County.

Rancho Murieta is a growing populated community of 6,122 with over 3,500 gently rolling acres with a variety of recreational activities. The townhouses and single family homes are tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the Sacramento region. Shhh, its a secret!  If your  on your way to Sutter Creek, or Jackson in Amador County, then you pass the North or South gated communities located off of Hwy. 16,  the notorious Jackson Hwy.

My law firm handles all types of injury claims, especially auto accidents.

When driving into the quiet North or South Rancho Murieta, you immediately have a sense of peace and tranquility with the numerous lakes and fountains, beautiful parks, and obvious slower pace of life.  The speed limit is 25 miles an hour, many people are seen out on their golf carts either enjoying a round of golf, or seen picking their children up from the Elk Grove School bus stops.  It's not uncommon to wait for wild turkeys or deer to stroll across the roads, and many residents report seeing bald eagles, fox, coyotes and an occasional mountain lion. 

Many people enjoy living in small towns like Rancho Murieta because they seem quieter and less dangerous when compared to a larger, more highly populated city. Rancho Murieta is about as quaint as you can find, even offering its own country club, golf course, and air strip. But no town, regardless of its size, can protect everyone from traffic accidents. Equipment failures can cost lives. Wildlife in the road can injure more than just the animal. Just one unsafe driver can cause irreparable damage to many people.

Jackson Hwy is known for one of the most dangerous hwys in California. Each year there are several serious accidents with fatalities caused by excessive speeding, icy and foggy roads, and passing on this narrow two lane highway. Here are just a few stories of the many many accidents on this dangerous road:

• September 2, 2015 2 Drivers Killed
  
• November 22, 2015, Car leaves Jackson Highway and hits Sound Wall
  
• December 22, 2013, Multiple Vehicle Accident near North Gate
  

The list goes on and on. In the meantime, the State of California writes reports of plans of what it needs to do such as this concept report, but when it comes to sending men with shovels and asphalt to widen, fix and modernize this Highway, nothing is done.. the killing cascade continues.

As can be seen, because of dense fog, bad highway planning and inadequate maintenance, Highway 16 Remains a deathtrap.
