If you or a loved one has suffered injuries in an accident within or near the Thermalito area, we urge you to contact our law office at (530) 392-9400 to explore your legal options. Our team of experienced injury lawyers is committed to providing complimentary, compassionate advice to guide you through this challenging time.

Auto Accidents in Thermalito and Butte County

The town area of Thermalito is on the smaller side, meaning fewer accidents occur in this area. However, there are accidents caused by distracted driving, drunk driving, or occasional mistakes. Plus, a little further from the city, many tractor-trailers and other large vehicles pass through the area daily. In addition to accidents in the city, residents have to consider the possibility of auto accidents when commuting to Sacramento or other larger towns in Northern California.

What to Do If You're Involved in an Accident in Thermalito

First, you should sit back and take in the situation. A car accident can be frightening, but it doesn't have to be a disaster if you are calm and handle things smartly. Make sure you call the police and need medical services. Even if you don't think you are seriously hurt, it makes sense to have yourself checked out--just in case. If there are injuries that present themselves later, this simple step could help you obtain any judgment you deserve.

After the police have written a report and gotten medical care, call a Thermalito car accident lawyer. Don't discuss your case with the insurance company or the other driver. You deserve to be paid for any injuries or damages you received that are not your fault. Letting a Thermalito personal injury lawyer take charge right away can be your most crucial step.

Choosing a Thermalito Auto Accident Attorney

When it comes time to choose an injury lawyer, the options can be overwhelming. There are ads on TV, websites on the internet, and faces plastered on local billboards. The ads often make big promises. However, the reality is that few attorneys can deliver on them. You need someone who can ensure you recover everything you owe after an accident.

The lawyers who tout high success rates may have settled with the insurers for less than their clients deserve. On the other hand, we don't consider a case a success unless our client's claim covers all physical, financial, and emotional injuries.

You may think we're just not the right lawyer for your case. That's okay! Even if we're not a match, we want to help you know what to look for in an excellent Thermalito auto accident lawyer. Here are a few tips to help you make sure an attorney is fully prepared to handle your case.

  • Check Multiple Reviews - Find out what others think of the attorney you are considering. Thanks to the internet, this is easy to do. Visit the attorney's profile on websites such as Avvo, Yelp, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google. These reviews will give you an honest picture of a lawyer's merits and how other former clients felt about their services.

  • Look Into Their Experience - Make sure your lawyer has experience working with cases like yours. Personal injury law differs from other law types, and the attorney should have experience working with insurers. Additionally, find out if the lawyer has much courtroom experience. While your lawyer may want to avoid court if possible, and that's great, you want someone with "real courtroom experience" if the situation finds its way to the courtroom.

  • Review Their Settlements and Verdicts - Results matter more than anything else for a Thermalito personal injury attorney. Review the case resolutions of your chosen lawyer. You should be able to find this information on their website. If it's not publicly posted, ask; this information should be available for you to review.

  • Make Sure They Are Established - Finally, you should ensure your lawyer has the financial backing to fight your case. Trials can become expensive, and some firms may not have the means to take a case to court. However, a lawyer's lack of money shouldn't be what stands between you and the payments you deserve for your car accident case.
