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.

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.
