Red Bluff Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer

The city of Red Bluff made the Obrella Insider’s 40 Best Commuter Cities in California, landing in the #11 spot, being a great place to raise a family that it is. Visitors that get a chance to spend some time in Red Bluff should not miss out on the scenic, twisting drive down Highway 36 that leads to Mount Lassen Volcanic National Park. Along the way, the views of coastal mountains, redwoods, and river valleys are absolutely breathtaking.

You may be wondering why a Sacramento personal injury attorney would take cases 130 miles away in Red Bluff. You see, we exclusively take on severe personal injury cases - the cases that most small-town lawyers shy away from or simply take on with the intention to settle with the insurance company at the highest amount possible.

We are not afraid to take a case to trial and we have the resources to do so, as well.

We assist victims that have been seriously injured in car accidents, as well as other types of collisions, including:

• Commercial truck accidents
• Motorcycle collisions
• Bicyclists hit by vehicles
• Pedestrians hit by cars

We have successfully handled other types of personal injury cases, as well, including:

• Dog or animal bites
• Head and brain injuries
• Slip and fall injuries
• Injuries from defective or dangerous products
• Farm injuries

We have also successfully helped clients who have lost loved ones in tragic incidents that were the result of another party’s negligence.

Not all personal injury cases are the result of a traffic collision, a dog bite, defective products, and slip and falls. As long as someone else was responsible for your serious injuries, I may be interested in taking on your case.  If you’ve suffered serious injuries due to someone else’s negligence, please call us for free, friendly advice at 916.921.6400. 

Many victims suffering severe injuries find it difficult enough to negotiate their daily responsibilities, let alone search for the right lawyer for their case. All lawyers claim to be experienced and the best in their field. How do you truly find the right one to help you obtain the compensation that you are entitled to?

Watch the video below for tips on how to choose the right Red Bluff personal lawyer for your case.

As a recap, keep in mind the following tips when looking for the right Red Bluff car accident  lawyer:

• Talk to and personally meet with several lawyers.
• Choose the lawyer who makes you feel like you, your family, and your needs are essential and that they personally care about the outcome of your case.
• Do not choose a lawyer who dabbles in multiple areas of law. You want a lawyer who has eaten, slept, and lived personal injury law day in and day out, not one who has some experience with these types of cases.
• In case the insurance company refuses to settle at a fair amount, you want to choose a lawyer who has been successful in the courtroom.
• You also want to make sure that the attorney you choose can demonstrate a long history of successful cases. Ask them about their previous settlements and verdicts. Any successful attorney will be more than happy to share their successes with you.
• Check out any testimonials and reviews online about the lawyers you are interested in. Make sure you read what past clients have said on Avvo, Yelp, Google, and other review and social media websites.

Do you know where the most dangerous intersections in Red Bluff are?

I was in a recent car accident where the seatback broke. The other party did not have insurance even though they were at fault. I broke my back. Do I have any recourse against the car manufacturer?

I am sorry you had such a severe injury. You may still have 2 possibilities to recover. One option is against the manufacturer of the car. Seatback failures are seen increasingly in serious accidents, and with a small outlay of funds, many of these failures could have been prevented. It’s essential to contact an experienced injury lawyer quickly as the salvage needs to be purchased, protected, and inspected by outside experts to see if you have a good case. If the car is destroyed, your claim against the manufacturer usually goes with it.

Secondly, you should check if you have Uninsured Motorist Coverage on your own car insurance. If so, that insurance will protect you up until the policy limits if you have a good injury lawyer pursuing your case.
