The Golden State is often listed as being one of the top five states for fatal motor vehicle accidents.

There are a variety of reasons that car or truck collisions occur. In certain situations, neither driver is at fault. In others, a driver’s negligent, careless or reckless act leads to a crash and causes life-changing injuries.

Common reasons accidents occur on California’s roads include:

• Reckless driving, such as speeding, tailgating and aggressive driving
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Distracted driving, including cellphone usage and texting
• Driving while drowsy or fatigued
• Running stop signs or traffic lights

After your accident, it is critical to speak with a skilled attorney before you contact your insurer. Insurance companies are quick to offer lowball payouts that may not cover all your accident expenses. When challenged, they will delay their response and use other high-pressure techniques to get you to drop your claim.

Our attorneys know how to counter these tricks and will not stop until you receive a fair settlement offer.

We offer free consultations to all potential clients. We respond to emails and phone calls promptly because we know that you can’t wait. Reach a knowledgeable lawyer at Stewart Humpherys & Molin when you dial 530-358-4255 or complete our online form.
