On this blog, it is rare that we get the opportunity to report on good news relating to personal injury cases in and around Sacramento CA. However, the return of Omar Rafi to his home after a three-month hospital stay following a catastrophic accident is one such piece of positive news.

The 10-year-old Rafi was seriously injured after he and his father were hit while riding their bikes close to their apartment building on Edison Avenue in Sacramento. The crash happened when a car driven by a 25-year-old Sacramento resident veered off the road and into the bike lane, apparently as a result of the driver looking down to check a text message on his phone.

Tragically, Rafi’s 33-year-old father was killed in the accident. The boy was rushed to the hospital where he spent two months in an induced coma and another month learning how to walk again. Now, the boy has returned home. “In the beginning all I hoped is at he’d open his eyes and say ‘Mom,’” his mother Mulalai said. According to his family, Rafi is back playing with friends and other kids in the neighborhood.

The 10-year-old boy still walks with a limp, and a piece of his skull is still missing; he has to have to wear a protective helmet until surgeons can operate again in a few months. Additionally, him and his family are still dealing with the aftermath of the accident. “I’m grateful my son is home but it would’ve been much better if my husband could be here with us” Mulalai said.For our part, we are glad the young boy has been returned to his family, and hope it is the start of a long but successful recovery period for all of those involved. No matter the outcome, however, we are also reminded of the deep wounds left by Sacramento car accidents which happen because of the negligence of drunk or distracted drivers.The experienced Sacramento car accident attorneys of the Tiemann Law Firm are dedicated to helping those in our community deal with the aftermath of serious wrecks and catastrophic injuries.

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 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.
