How Can a Sacramento Car Accident Attorney Help?

At Child & Jackson Personal Injury Lawyers, our experienced car accident attorneys know what it takes to build a strong case that will prove liability and help you recover the fair settlement you’re owed. 

During this difficult time, our legal team can also help by:

  • Investigating the accident
  • Gathering and analyzing evidence
  • Consulting with experts
  • Assessing damages
  • Filing paperwork
  • Handling all interactions with the insurance company
  • Negotiating a fair settlement
  • Filing a lawsuit (if necessary)

As you focus on recovering from your injuries and moving forward with your life, our car accident attorneys will handle every aspect of your claim and fight aggressively to help you obtain a settlement that covers the cost of all accident-related damages.

Should I Accept the Insurance Company’s First Offer?

Shortly following an auto accident, the other driver’s insurance company may try to contact you and ask for your recorded statement. An insurance company will do this hoping you admit fault or say something else that can be damaging to your claim. During the conversation, they will ask questions that are confusing and misleading. A claims adjuster may even make a low settlement offer and try to pressure you into accepting it. These settlement offers are never enough to cover the total cost of accident-related damages. A claims adjuster will usually make a settlement offer before they even know the full extent of an accident victim’s injuries and other damages. You should never accept an insurance company’s first offer. Instead of speaking with the other driver’s insurance provider, contact an experienced car accident lawyer. An attorney will handle all communication with the insurance company, including settlement negotiations.

At Child & Jackson Personal Injury Lawyers, our car accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no upfront costs and you will owe nothing if your case isn’t successful. If you do win your case, your attorney will subtract a small percentage from your settlement or lawsuit, to cover the cost of legal services.

Car Accident
I throughly enjoyed working with Erik and the Child & Jackson firm. I was unfortunate enough to be in an automobile accident, him and his team really took care of me and helped me win my case. I am satisfied with all the help and the outcome of the lawsuit. I would definitely work with Child & Jackson if the time comes again. Thank you for everything.

Car Accident
Child & Jackson came highly recommended and did a great job. Unfortunately, after my case settled for coverage maximum, I was in need of their services again. I didn’t even consider going anywhere else. Very caring people.

Car Accident
I was referred to Child & Jackson from a family/friend who had a good experience with them. To my surprise, I actually got to meet and speak with Mr. Child, who was so down to earth (we all know how attorneys can be intimidating). Mr. Child assured me he and his team will take care of me and they kept their words.
Shelby S.

Slip and Fall
I was in a slip and fall injury while 8 months pregnant. My case was difficult as it was a premises case, however, I was referred to Child & Jackson and they fought for my case to justify my injuries. The paralegal was excellent and very through. She was also available whenever I had any questions and walked me through the entire process!
