Understanding Your Sacramento Personal Injury Case
Explore essential resources on your rights, your options, and what to expect — everything you need to navigate the legal process, all in one place.
Wilshire Law Firm is an award-winning, nationally recognized team that has recovered billions for injured clients across California. From our Sacramento office at 770 L St., Suite 1400, our attorneys investigate your accident, deal with the insurance companies for you, and build your case for maximum recovery. There are no fees unless you get paid.
Our attorneys handle the full range of injury claims for Sacramento residents. These commonly include car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, pedestrian and bicycle collisions, slip-and-fall and premises liability, product liability, wrongful death, and catastrophic injuries. Because every claim is different, a legal professional can review the specifics of your situation during a free case review.
Take a few steps to protect your health and your claim: (1) seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine; (2) report the accident to police or the property owner; (3) photograph the scene, vehicles, and injuries; (4) exchange information and gather witness contacts; and (5) speak with a personal injury lawyer before giving a recorded statement to any insurer. An open insurance claim does not guarantee a fair resolution, so it helps to talk with a legal professional early.
Injured people in California can generally recover both economic and non-economic damages. These commonly include medical expenses (current and future), lost wages and lost earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. In cases involving a fatality, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim. Because losses vary widely, a legal professional can review what your case may be worth during a free case review.
In most California personal injury cases you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit (California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). Claims against a government entity — common in a capital city with state, county, and municipal employers — carry much shorter deadlines, often requiring an administrative claim within six months (California Government Code §911.2). Because missing a deadline can end your case, it is best to speak with a legal professional as soon as possible.

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Claim in Sacramento?
Three factors determine whether you have a valid personal injury claim — fault, damages, and proof. Fault means another party's negligence caused your injury. Damages are your losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Proof includes police or incident reports, photos, medical records, and witness statements. California's statute of limitations applies, so contact Wilshire Law Firm for a free case review with a legal professional.

Sacramento Personal Injury FAQs
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered the most common ones below. If yours isn't here, call us — we're available 24/7.
Sacramento's heavy commuter traffic on the I-5, I-80, and US-50 contributes to rear-end and multi-vehicle collisions, especially during peak hours. Many of these crashes stem from preventable negligence such as following too closely or distracted driving.
Civil injury lawsuits arising in the Sacramento area are generally filed in the Sacramento County Superior Court. Many cases resolve through insurance negotiation before reaching court.
As the state capital, Sacramento has many public agencies, and a claim against a government entity generally requires a written claim within six months of the incident before suit. Missing this early deadline can bar the case, so act quickly when a public body may be at fault.
California generally allows two years from the date of injury to bring a personal injury lawsuit. Claims against public entities follow shorter deadlines, and exceptions can apply, so confirm your timeline promptly. For more about how we serve the region, see our Sacramento location page.
