Sacramento Personal Injury Attorney

Helping Victims of Negligence Get Fair & Full Compensation

Have you or a loved one been hurt because of an act of negligence by another party? If so, our Sacramento personal injury attorneys at Smolich and Smolich are ready to help you ensure the negligent parties are held responsible and that you receive the fair compensation you deserve. We handle cases involving head injuries, back and neck injuries, burn injuries, amputation injuries, and even wrongful death.

Our firm was founded in 1969 with the goal of securing the best possible result for hardworking men and women injured due to the fault of others. Over the years, we have achieved that goal and obtained compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering damages for those harmed by the negligence or intentional acts of others.

Statute of Limitations on Sacramento Personal Injury Claims

If you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence, it is crucial you act fast and speak with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your compliance with all applicable legal deadlines. Under Section 335.1 of California's Code of Civil Procedures (CCCP), personal injury claims in Sacramento are subject to a two-year statute of limitations which requires injured parties to file a lawsuit with the courts within two years of their accident to preserve their right to seek compensation. This window of time may be even shorter for claims against government entities.

The sooner you contact our attorneys, the sooner we can begin gathering evidence and building a strong case that maximizes your chances of securing the compensation you deserve. Since memories can fade and key evidence can be lost as time passes, it is crucial you do not delay with retaining trusted representation.

Should You Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Personal injury cases tend to be very complex. This is a highly specialized area of litigation, one that requires not only an in-depth understanding of the law but also insight that goes beyond the letter of the law. At Smolich and Smolich, we strive to remain current and stay a step ahead of the latest developments and precedents in relevant case law. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in Sacramento, contact our experienced personal injury attorney today.

Offering Personalized Attention for Our Clients

Our representation comes with hands-on attention in every personal injury case. We will spend as much time as needed with you, educating you about the process, and addressing your unique concerns.

We know that one of your first questions is going to be about the compensation you are entitled to. Through a personal injury claim, you may be able to obtain compensation for medical bills, lost wages, out-of-pocket costs, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and other expenses.

Only after we have thoroughly reviewed your case can we be more specific as to what forms of compensation you may be eligible to receive. Often, it takes time simply to gain an understanding of the severity of the injuries involved. We want to make certain that the compensation we ask for will be sufficient to cover all past, present, and future losses.
