Sacramento Car Accident Attorney

Don't Accept a Settlement Offer from an Insurance Company!

If you have been hit by a negligent driver you will most likely be contacted by that driver's insurance company and you may immediately be offered a monetary settlement. At Smolich and Smolich, our Sacramento personal injury lawyers strongly advise clients to not take it.

Insurance companies thrive by encouraging motor vehicle accident victims to accept low settlements immediately following an accident. After signing on the dotted line, you will have no legal right to pursue further compensation.

How Long Do I Have to File a Motor Vehicle Accident Claim?

In California, victims of personal injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents may have up to two years from the date of their accident to file a claim. In the days following your accident there may be documents or evidence that can be helpful in your case. By hiring an attorney, you will have a team to investigate the accident, compile important and helpful documents, and work hard to ensure that all important deadlines are met. At Smolich and Smolich, we are here to review your case for free and can help you understand your opportunities for financial recovery following your accident.

Did the Negligent Driver Have Insurance?

Unfortunately, there are many drivers on the road with insufficient insurance or even no insurance at all. Our attorneys have the experience to handle uninsured and underinsured motorist accident claims. This may necessitate turning to the victim's own policy for compensation. In these types of claims, your insurance company steps into the shoes of the responsible negligent party. A claim is then pursued against your insurance company for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Fighting to Recover Your Losses

The aftermath of a car accident can be a highly-stressful experience that can leave injury victims with serious financial and physical burdens. When an accident happens, make sure you consult with an attorney to determine the best course of action.

A high-speed collision between two cars can result in:

Injuries ranging from minor to catastrophic
Significant property loss
Emotional trauma
Bereavement

Whether you must pursue relief from an insurance provider or directly from the parties that hurt you on the road, our lawyers at Smolich and Smolich will be able to properly analyze all of the facts regarding your case and, if needed, file a compelling claim that truly speaks to the gravity of your injuries.

I am so happy to have such knowledgeable and helpful people to help during this difficult time. Sam was super responsive and always willing to answer questions, regardless how big or small.
“My circumstances were a bit unusual - my husband applied for Social Security Disability, but unfortunately passed away during the review process. Sam and Sarah worked diligently to see the case through to the end, and provide our family the benefits we were owed. A special thank you to Sam, he was always very responsive, willing to go above and beyond, and willing to answer questions whether big or small. Thank you, Smolich and Smolich!”

You were so proactive and informative, you really did take away so much of my stress during the whole process.
“I sincerely apologize for the delay! I truly thought I had already sent this off to almost 3 months ago! Thank goodness I had someone helping me clean and organize the apartment last week. She found your letter behind my bookcase. I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank you for your support and dedication throughout my case. You were a true blessing to me. You were so proactive and informative, you really did take away so much of my stress during the whole process. Just the fact that you returned a call so promptly was a very big deal to me. It let me know that I mattered to you, Sarah, and the firm. Thanks to the two of you I am finally settled in my own apartment and my mom was able to finally retire. So again, thank you from the depths of my heart for everything that you personally and your firm have done for me. You were true angels in my tie of need.”

“I would totally still be lost in the red tape of the social security system without the help of my attorney Sarah Greer and my case manager Sarah Cummings. You ladies rock!! Thank you so much for all your help getting my award. I would personally recommend this law firm to anyone needing help with their claim.”

They know what it takes to win. Thank you all so much!
“Thank you so much for your help. I was denied twice by social security disability. They are the most diligent and wonderfully. Yes it takes a while to get a hearing. If it wasn't for the great staff and attorneys here, I would have never been approved for disability. It was the best Christmas gift i received. They know what it takes to win. Thank you all so much!”
