Let a Sacramento Personal Injury Attorney Protect Your Rights to Compensation

Every year there are over 500,000 accident victims hospitalized because of car wrecks. Because of these accidents medical and property damages add up to almost $160 billion a year. Many of these car crash victims are not aware that they can file an accident injury lawsuit against the party responsible for the accident and might be able to get compensation for their injuries.

California injury law can be very complicated and should not be taken lightly. In most cases it can be very beneficial to hire a Sacramento accident injury attorney to protect your rights if you are a victim of a car crash.

Here are some of the most critical things to do after a car accident so you protect your rights:

  • Get a Police report to establish the details of your accident claim
  • Get the name and phone numbers of all accident witnesses
  • Record the other drivers insurance card details, driver’s license, car license numbers
  • Take photos from many angles of all vehicles involved in crash damaged or not
  • Contact your insurance company to report your accident
  • Visit your doctor or emergency room to make sure you are not injured
  • Always retain records of your doctor’s report and injury diagnosis
  • Contact an injury attorney to protect your rights

Did you know that even if you are responsible for a car accident you may be entitled to fair compensation. Don’t be afraid to ask a licensed accident injury attorney in Sacramento for advice after your car crash. A good attorney will be able to help you build a strong case so you will be able to get compensation for medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.

The responsible driver’s auto insurance company might offer you a quick settlement, but be careful, as in most cases they will offer you low settlement so you take the money and drop any rights to future compensation. Don’t make one of the most common mistakes by not completely realizing the full extent of your injuries before you accept an accident injury settlement. A Sacramento accident attorney might be able to get you much more money for your accident injuries. Never rush into doing anything until you get expert legal advice.

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.

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.

The Tiemann law Firm has been very good to me ever since I walked in the door. James and Emily have been very responsive and professional and make me feel comfortable when I start to freak out a bit. Accidents can be pretty stressful and I feel like they’ve gone above and beyond. I’m happy that keep me up-to-date on how my case is going. I appreciate that they make me feel like a priority and that they take my case serious. I have already recommend them to a few friends and family members. God forbid I get into another accident, but if I do, I know exactly where to come for help.
