Yreka Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer

Yreka, in the Shasta Valley, has a long, fascinating history, including being visited by Mark Twain back during its early gold mining days. There is even a flower named after the town, the Yreka phlox. A small town nestled in a valley, its proximity to the Klamath National Forest and view of Mount Shasta, easy-going lifestyle and surrounding beauty makes Yreka a pleasant city to live in.

Dangerous Roads in Yreka

Route 3 takes local residents to nearby small towns, while highway access is via Interstate 5 for shopping in Medford, Oregon, or trips down to Sacramento. As Yreka residents know, weather conditions along these roads can be treacherous, making it more likely for serious accidents to occur due to flooding, mudslides, or snow. Exercising caution is important for Yreka residents, but sometimes, accidents cannot be avoided.

What Is Personal Injury?

When you’ve been injured, whether it’s been caused by a negligent driver, a misdiagnosis by a physician, or other injuries due to carelessness, you may need the services of a lawyer. Accidents can result in medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses. The following are areas that are covered by personal injury. You can find many more by visiting my practice areas page.

How to Find a Personal Injury Lawyer

One question that comes up when an injured person requires the services of a personal injury attorney is what to look for in a lawyer. The most important advice I can give you would be to seek out a lawyer who only works with personal injury cases. Laws regarding personal injury can be complicated, and an attorney who works in other areas might not be the best choice for your accident injury. Take a look at an attorney’s office to see if the firm can cover accident reconstruction consults, expert witnesses, and other expenses that might be important to present your case in court.

Since personal injury cases are billed on a contingency basis, where you don’t pay unless you win, this is vital. Ask about the attorney’s settlements and verdicts. Does the attorney generally settle with the insurance company? This can mean that the lawyer does not like to take cases to trial and is willing to settle for a smaller amount than that to which you are entitled. Does the attorney have several useful recommendations from satisfied clients? If the attorney doesn’t, there may be a reason for that.
