Wheatland Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer

Located about twelve miles southeast of Marysville, California, Wheatland is a small city in the heart of Northern California. For such a small town, there is a surprising amount of history and attractiveness to the area.

Discover what makes Wheatland such a unique place and why someone may want to live or visit this attractive community.

When you live or visit a smaller town like Wheatland, it can be easy to let your guard down when you’re behind the wheel. That could be a serious mistake. While there are no crazy traffic jams or hazardous intersections in the town, you should be aware of other dangers.

Unfortunately, accidents are caused by carelessness, distracted driving, driving under the influence, and even because there are more than a few tractor-trailers on the road. Whether you drive a car, truck, motorcycle, or any other vehicle, you should take the same care on the roads of Wheatland as you would in the city.

First and foremost, try not to panic. While getting into a car accident can be scary and dangerous, keeping your cool is important. If possible, gather information about the crash, including the other driver, witnesses, and pictures. Contact a police officer right away to get details of the accident in writing.

Obtain any medical care needed. Even if you’re not sure, you need to go to the hospital. If you have any pain or just feel shaken up, go ahead and go. Getting details from a medical professional later could be important for a legal case if it becomes necessary.

Once you’re medically stable, your next call should be to a Wheatland car accident lawyer. You do not want to talk to an insurance agent or really anyone about your case without getting advice from your lawyer first. Take this step to protect yourself and your case.
