Traffic accidents continue to be one of the most common causes of wrongful death and personal injury. Negligent and careless drivers cause accidents that change the lives of victims forever. Those drivers can and should be held liable for the common injuries, damages and losses they cause. Our Sacramento personal injury lawyers fight for the rights of accident victims to receive fair compensation for their damages after a car wreck.

Common Injuries Sustained in Traffic Accidents

A traffic accident can result in debilitating and life-threatening injuries. The type and severity of injury vary by accident. Some auto accidents have a higher risk for fatalities and catastrophic injuries, such as crashes involving commercial trucks, pedestrians, head-on collisions, and bicyclists. However, even a low-speed impact can cause serious injuries. The type of vehicle and the victim’s overall health can impact the severity of injuries in a car crash.

Common injuries from traffic accidents that our lawyers handle routinely include, but are not limited to:

Our lawyers work with your doctors to document the severity of your injuries and potential future damages. If you sustain a disability or permanent impairment, you might be entitled to additional compensation for future damages.

Damages for Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries

The damages for accident claims vary. Some of the factors that could affect the value of your injury claim include:

  • The type of your injuries;
  • The severity of injuries;
  • Whether you are partially to blame for the collision;
  • The availability of insurance coverage;
  • Your total financial losses;
  • Whether you sustained a disability or impairment;
  • The duration of your recovery;
  • How much time you miss from work; and,
  • Whether you hire an experienced car accident lawyer to handle your case.

Another factor in the value of your personal injury claim is your actions following the crash. Did you admit fault at the accident scene? Did you delay medical care? Have you posted information on social media? Did you provide a statement to the insurance provider? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you could have harmed your chances of success.

Client Testimonials

I highly recommend The Tiemann Law Firm! I had never before been in a situation where I sustained injury and had to seek legal representation. I was nervous, traumatized, and had no idea what to expect. Jelena, Peter, and their staff walked me through each step of the process. They explained everything in detail. They patiently answered all my questions, responded quickly to every email, text message, phone call, etc. I felt totally prepared for each new phase of the legal process. Furthermore, they were fearless in their defense of me. In certain situations, when I felt attacked or scared my attorney protected me like I was family. Their diligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion provided a true sense of healing and closure for my family and I. The Tiemann Law Firm accomplished more for me than I ever thought possible and I am forever grateful.

Here's the thing... Nobody really thinks much about lawyers until they need one.  Well, we needed one!  The Tieman Law Firm came through for us in a big way. They were professional, courteous, thorough, and had excellent staff as well.  Highly recommended...

No one wants to have to hire a lawyer, but if you do. I prefer Tiemann Law. They helped a family member who was injured on the job, and the company did not want to compensate him even though, the injury occurred on the job on company time. Jelena was always professional in explaining the lengthy process of fighting a large corporation. 2 years later he finally is receiving the deserved compensation.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I was in a car accident a while back where I was injured and had to miss work for an extended period of time.  After nearly a year of fighting with the insurance company with no results and no progress, I met with Jelena Tiemann.  I couldn't have asked for a more responsive and supportive advocate.  We quickly reached a settlement and I finally was able to move from the stress and burden of feuding with my insurance.  I highly recommending meeting with Jelena if you're in need of a lawyer.
