Sacramento Wrongful Death Lawyers

We represent victims of automobile accidents, premises liability, and products liability matters in Sacramento personal injury cases. We also represent families who have lost loved ones in wrongful death lawsuits from Sacramento to Yuba City.

When a loved one passes due to negligence, the surviving family members may be entitled to claim wrongful death against the party responsible. In a wrongful death case, the plaintiff sues for the damages suffered directly by them (the plaintiffs) due to the family member's death.

When a person suffers an injury in an accident caused by another's negligence, that person has the right to recover damages with a personal injury lawsuit in Sacramento. However, suppose the person dies before filing a lawsuit or seeing a lawsuit through settlement or judgment. In that case, a personal representative of the estate may take over. That representative may file a survival action on behalf of the estate. In this case, allowable damages are some of those to which the deceased would have been entitled in a personal injury lawsuit, such as medical expenses and lost wages.

Since the benefactors of a wrongful death claim and a survival action are basically the same, and similar facts must be proven in both cases, the two actions are frequently tried together in one lawsuit. Doing so allows the plaintiffs to maximize recovery without requiring the time, expense, and emotional trauma of two separate cases.

If you have lost a family member due to another party's negligence or wrongful act, then don't fret. Instead, contact the Law Offices of Mark A. Doughty today for a free initial consultation.


Sacramento Truck Accident Lawyers

The Law Offices of Mark A. Doughty represent people injured in truck accidents along roads and highways throughout California and even out of state in some instances. In a collision between a semi-truck and a passenger vehicle of any size, the passenger vehicle occupants are not likely to escape without injuries. The heavy weight of a truck requires increased distance and reaction time for the truck driver to maneuver or stop and adds tremendous force to even a low-speed impact. In combination with negligent driving or poorly maintained equipment, the truck becomes a potential instrument of death and destruction.


Sacramento Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

Pedestrians face numerous dangers while traveling on public sidewalks and roadways. Moreover, pedestrian and bicycle accidents often result in horrific injury and sometimes even death. At the Law Offices of Mark A. Doughty, our legal team seeks justice and compensation for pedestrians and bicyclists who suffer an injury due to negligence.

edestrian accidents can range from slipping and falling on a walkway or tripping and falling on a sidewalk in disrepair, to a fatal collision with a car or bus in a busy intersection. In Sacramento premises liability, issues often crop up around whether the property owner knew (or should have known) of the dangerous condition and promptly took steps to repair, remedy, or warn of the situation. The responsibility for maintaining a sidewalk in good repair and free of hazards may fall to the property owner, the city, or a combination of the two. This responsibility issue increases the complexity of any lawsuit or claim for recovery. It requires an experienced personal injury trial lawyer.


Sacramento Construction Accident Lawyers

Our firm has over forty years of experience handling construction accident cases. After all, working with insurance companies is never an easy task. However, we have the strategies and tactics necessary to obtain a satisfactory settlement from the insurance company in question. So, if you suffered a construction site injury or an injury due to some other form of negligence, contact our Sacramento construction accident lawyers for a free consultation.

From heavy machinery and falling objects to working from heights, with power tools, exposed electrical wiring, caustic chemicals, and more, workers confront constant exposure to hazards. While workers' compensation benefits are often the only way to recover damages against the employer, many accidents involve a third party responsible for the accident or injury. In such instances, the receipt of workers' compensation benefits does not preclude the injured worker from filing a civil lawsuit against the negligent third party.


Sacramento Accident Lawyers

Many clients come to us out of frustration in dealing with insurance companies. After tedious and disappointing discussions with their insurance providers, clients learn that a personal injury lawyer can advocate their rights. Thus, we achieve the results they deserve as personal injury victims. Unfortunately, insurance companies, even your own, will not necessarily be looking out for your best interests. As a result, you should obtain the expert services of a skilled accident lawyer to protect your rights.

If you suffer injuries in an accident, it is in the best interest of any insurance provider to pay you, the victim, as little as possible. They often do not value your claim at its true worth. A car accident lawyer can act as "another set of eyes" to thoroughly review your case and advise you on what you may be due from an insurance provider. With our Sacramento accident lawyers on your side, the insurance company knows it will have to settle for a fair amount or face our experienced lawyers in court. Insurance companies will have an experienced automobile accident lawyer looking out for their interests, and so should you.

Sacramento Premises Liability Attorney

Under premises liability theories, a property owner can be held liable for injuries caused to people on the property in certain instances. The Law Offices of Mark A. Doughty represent people in the Sacramento area who have suffered a personal injury due to a dangerous or unsafe condition that exists on the property.

The commonly-used phrase "slip and fall" does not do justice to the severe injuries that can occur from a fall. Those injuries include fractures and concussions that can cause long-term or even permanent disabilities. For example, a head injury from a fall can cause traumatic brain injury (TBI). A broken neck or back can result in permanent paralysis of the legs (paraplegia) or the entire body (quadriplegia). A severe enough spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause death or require the victim to depend on mechanical aids such as ventilators and feeding tubes.

Our attorneys are caring and concerned for your physical, emotional, and financial well-being. We will fight to see that you receive compensation for injuries caused by the negligence of another. If you have been injured in a slip, trip, or fall on another's property, contact the Law Offices of Mark A. Doughty today.
