Situated against the majestic backdrop of the Sierra Nevada crest and nestled along the West Shore of Lake Tahoe, Truckee, California, is a beautiful town with its natural beauty.

Finding the Best Truckee Personal Injury Attorney for Your Case

There are so many personal injury lawyers to choose from, many of whom advertise their services on billboards, television, and internet marketing, and choosing just one can be overwhelming. You want someone who will fight for your rights and get you the compensation you are entitled to, not someone who is just looking for a piece of the pie at any cost to you.

Look at the YouTube video below for tips on finding the best Truckee personal injury lawyer for your case. 

Remember:

  • Choose an accident attorney who genuinely cares about you and your family - someone who sits down with you and listens to you about your injuries, desires, and needs.
  • Just as important is to seek a Truckee auto accident attorney who exclusively handles personal injury cases. Don't settle for a Truckee car accident lawyer who is caught up in handling many cases in several areas of law. Those lawyers typically do not have the skill and experience necessary to take on – and win – severe injury cases.
  • If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement for your injuries, you will have two choices. The first is to take the low settlement amount, and the other is to take the case to trial. To go to trial, you will need a lawyer familiar with courtroom procedures and processes regarding personal injury and someone who is not afraid to fight for your rights in a trial procedure.
  • Find an attorney who can prove a history of personal injury case successes. Ask about the verdict and settlement amounts that they have won. When choosing the right attorney for your case, this should be a high priority.
  • Can the attorney afford to take the case to trial? Severe personal injury trials can cost a significant sum of money. Make sure to seek an attorney with the resources to take your case to trial.
