The Sacramento area is a busy city that experiences thousands of car accidents each year. Some of these are minor and result in no injuries at all, but others leave people permanently disabled or in constant pain. If you’ve been injured in a car accident, it’s essential that you speak with an experienced Sacramento accident lawsuit as soon as possible to begin building your case. An attorney will conduct a thorough investigation and acquire valuable evidence on your behalf to create strategies that maximize the amount of compensation you can recover.
Motor Vehicle Accident
There are many causes of motor vehicle accidents, and the most common is driver error. Whether they are texting, talking on the phone, using apps, or eating while driving, distracted drivers put lives at risk. An experienced Sacramento car accident attorney will work to gather evidence that proves the defendant was negligent and caused your injury.
Wrongful Death
A lawsuit was filed against a construction worker after he died when the crane he was working on collapsed, crushing him. The plaintiffs claimed that the employer violated multiple safety regulations, and it should have used a spotter or an operator who was familiar with the equipment.
Truck Accident
A trucking company was found liable for a fatal accident when they failed to maintain the brakes on their truck. The truck was traveling at freeway speeds when it lost control and crashed into a barrier. The driver suffered severe closed head injuries and was left with permanent disabilities.
Product Liability
An accident at a workplace can cause serious injuries for the worker and their family. The lawsuit was filed after a worker was killed when the mast climber he was working on fell on him. The plaintiffs alleged that the manufacturer of the equipment had failed to include adequate warnings or provide adequate training on how to properly use the device.
Claims Against Government
If you’ve been injured by a government vehicle or on-duty government employee, the rules are different than with other claims. You’ll need to hire an experienced attorney who understands the unique rules that apply when filing a claim against the government. An attorney will handle all of the paperwork, and make sure that you get the compensation that you deserve. A good attorney will also explain comparative fault laws, which allow you to recover some of your damages even if you’re more than 50% responsible for the accident. The attorneys at Eric Ratinoff Law Corp can help you understand how comparative fault laws apply to your case. Call today to schedule a free consultation.
