General accidents procedure

If you were involved in a car accident, collect information on the other driver, including name, address, telephone number, date of birth, driver license number and expiration date, insurance company, and his or her vehicle. Collect contact information for any witnesses of the accident and take the name and badge number of the law officer that reports to the scene.
Drawing an accident diagram can be helpful, and any photographs that can document the scene of the accident and the damages incurred from the accident will be highly helpful to your accident lawsuit in Sacramento. Getting a physical checkup after an accident is also common procedure.

Accident litigation in Sacramento
In California, the statute of limitations deems that those injured by Sacramento accidents wishing to file a personal injury claim do so within two years. Sacramento accident litigation requires that as the plaintiff, you must prove that the defendant was negligent to receive any compensation for your injuries.
In addition to proving that the defendant has a responsibility to not cause you any harm and neglected to carry that responsibility out, you must prove that you sustained an injury, and show how the negligence of the defendant is related to your injury. If your actions were related to your injury, your damages will be reduced by the percentage of responsibility you carried.
If proven negligent, the defendant will be liable for previous, current, and future medical expenses incurred by your accident injury; time away from your job; destroyed property; deformation or disability; mental health-related stress; and miscellaneous expenses caused by your injury.

I was rear-ended in an automobile accident that resulted in medical bills, time off from work, and my car being out of service for a time. Right away I came across Mark Doughty and his superb team, and they jumped on my case instantly!

Rachel M Of San Jose, CA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mark and his team have been handling our motorcycle crash case, and everything has been so easy. The insurance company we’re suing tried contacting us only once before Mark put a stop to them with a cease and desist. Mark’s team has taken care of everything and has made this horrible process as easy as it can be.
It’s obvious he’s got years of experience and his advice is solid. I highly recommend at least calling him for advice if you’re feeling lost like we were. Thank you, Mark!
