Motorcycle and Car Accidents Attorney
Thousands of motor vehicle accidents occur every year on roads throughout Sacramento. For most motorists, this means the temporary inconvenience of longer than usual commutes. For the individuals actually injured in car crashes, they know that they have a long, difficult road ahead of them. Such accidents are often traumatic, stressful, and overwhelming, followed by the confusion and anxiety inherent in navigating a personal injury claim. After experiencing a car accident, victims will not only need adequate time to recover from their injuries fully, but they will also need expert help from an experienced lawyer to pursue compensation from those who caused their accidents.
Auto accident attorneys typically fight to obtain compensation for clients like you that include:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish and emotional distress
- Permanent disability
- Permanent disfigurement
- Property damage
- Lost income
Consider the potential ongoing ramifications following a motorcycle or car accident. Beyond immediate losses, such as medical bills, the road to recovery may extend indefinitely. Picture continued medical care, encompassing therapies like physical and occupational therapy. Factor in the prospect of enduring pain and the uncertainty of returning to work anytime soon. Each of these aspects signifies potential future losses for which you may seek rightful compensation.
Moreover, your case may warrant punitive or exemplary damages. These types of damages come into play when the conduct of the party causing the accident is deemed egregiously reckless. They serve a dual purpose: to offer additional compensation to you and to hold the responsible party accountable for their actions.

Motorcycle and Car Accident FAQ
Immediately after the accident it’s important to take pictures of the accident scene from different angles. If there are witnesses to the accident, get their contact information. It’s important to seek medical attention, even if you don’t have visible injuries from the crash. A police report is also needed, and should be made within 24-hours of the accident. And lastly, you should wait to contact your insurance agent until after you’ve talked with an attorney.
The report is important since a police report is required to receive damages from an uninsured motorist and in cases of a hit-and-run accident. In addition, a police report (like a medical report) is used in court cases as fact-based evidence to support the details of the case. You have 3 options to file a police report: you can request that they meet you at the accident scene, at the hospital, or you can go to the police department (within 24-hours).
