If so, our Sacramento car accident attorneys can help. Our personal injury law firm represents accident victims and their families who need an attorney to aggressively pursue an accident claim to get the money they need and deserve for their injury claims.

Reasons Why Car Accidents Occur in California

  • Distracted Driving — Distracted driving is a severe problem throughout the United States. The use of cell phones, GPS, and other electronics have become a huge distraction. In addition to electronics, eating, interacting with other passengers, looking at things on the side of the road, adjusting vehicle controls, and grooming are other examples of distractions that can cause traumatic car crashes.
  • Speeding and Other Traffic Infractions Reckless driving, speeding, failing to yield the right of way, running stop signs, and following too closely are examples of causes of traffic accidents. Speeding accidents are increasing as drivers continue to ignore posted speed limits.
  • Impaired Driving — Drunk driving and drugged driver causes thousands of traffic accidents each year in California. A drunk driver or drugged driver places everyone on the road in danger.
  • Inclement Weather — Weather conditions are another common cause of accidents. Snow, fog, rain, ice, high wind, and other weather conditions can create dangerous driving conditions. In many cases, the driver is also doing something that contributes to the cause of the crash such as driving too fast or following too closely.
  • Teen Drivers — Teen drivers are not inherently bad drivers. However, they are inexperienced drivers. A teen driver’s inexperience can increase the teen’s risk of being involved in an accident.
  • Defective Automobiles — Defective cars and defective car parts can lead to a car accident or injury. If a defective part causes an injury or accident, you might be entitled to recover compensation from the manufacturer or another party.
  • Dangerous Road Conditions — Road debris, construction zones, defective road designs, and inadequate road maintenance can lead to car accidents. You might have a claim against a government agency, contractor, or other third party.
  • Drowsy Driving — Drowsy driving or fatigued driving is a common cause of accidents, especially commercial truck accidents. Truck drivers who are driving for too many hours can become drowsy or fatigued, which increases their risk of causing a truck accident.

Compensation for a Car Accident Claim

You deserve to be compensated if another driver causes an injury, regardless of the cause of the accident. Depending on the circumstances of your claim, you might be entitled to receive money for your lost wages, property damage, medical bills, physical pain, permanent disability, and emotional suffering. Our Sacramento car accident attorneys can help you maximize your chance of recovering full compensation for all damages.

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.

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
