Why Choose Jacoby & Meyers for Your Sacramento Personal Injury Case?
Unmatched Experience in Sacramento County
Sacramento is the capital of California and one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. This expansion brings increased risks – from congested highways to busier public spaces. As the fifth-largest city in California, Sacramento faces unique personal injury challenges:
- Major transportation corridors including I-5, Highway 99, and I-80 run through Sacramento as major trucking routes
- Rising rates of car accidents and motor vehicle accidents due to increasing traffic
- Growing instances of premises liability issues as businesses expand
- Higher frequency of personal injury cases requiring specialized legal expertise
Our Sacramento personal injury attorneys bring local knowledge that makes a critical difference in your case. We understand Sacramento County courts, local insurance practices, and have established relationships with the region’s top medical providers.
Working with Our Personal Injury Team on a Contingency Fee Basis
When you choose Jacoby & Meyers, you pay nothing upfront. We work exclusively on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid when you receive compensation. This attorney-client relationship ensures our interests are perfectly aligned with yours – maximizing your recovery.
The Personal Injury Claims Process: How We Build Your Case
At Jacoby & Meyers, we’ve refined our approach to personal injury cases through decades of experience. Here’s how we handle your case:
1. Thorough Investigation and Evidence Collection
Our process begins with a comprehensive investigation to determine liability and document damages. We gather crucial evidence including:
- Police reports and accident records
- Witness statements and testimonies
- Medical documentation of your injuries
- Expert analysis of accident scenes
- Video footage from traffic cameras, dash cams, and security systems
- Cell phone records and electronic data
- Social media evidence that may support your claim
- Vehicle damage assessments and repair estimates
2. Expert Case Valuation and Damage Assessment
Unlike insurance adjusters who aim to minimize your compensation, our team meticulously calculates the full value of your claim, including:
Economic Damages:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Property damage and replacement costs
- Out-of-pocket expenses related to your injury
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs

California Personal Injury Laws You Need to Know
A successful personal injury claim in Sacramento requires navigating California’s complex legal framework. Our attorneys stay current on all relevant laws, including:
Statute of Limitations
California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 gives injury victims just two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from seeking compensation forever.
Comparative Negligence
California follows a “pure comparative negligence” system, which means:
- You can recover damages even if you were partially at fault
- Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault
- Insurance companies will try to shift blame to reduce their payout
Auto Insurance Requirements
California law requires all drivers to carry minimum liability insurance of:
- $15,000 for injury/death to one person
- $30,000 for injury/death to multiple people
- $5,000 for property damage
These minimums are often insufficient to cover serious injuries, which is why our attorneys identify all possible sources of compensation, including underinsured motorist coverage.
How We Determine the Value of Your Injury Case
The bottom line for any personal injury case is ensuring you receive fair compensation. At Jacoby & Meyers, we consider numerous factors when valuing your case:
Medical Considerations
- Severity and permanence of injuries
- Required surgeries and treatments
- Need for ongoing care
- Rehabilitation requirements
- Future medical needs
Financial Impact
- Current lost income
- Future earning capacity
- Career limitations
- Benefits lost
- Out-of-pocket expenses
Personal Factors
- Age and health before the accident
- Family responsibilities affected
- Activities and hobbies impacted
- Psychological trauma experienced
- Quality of life changes
Legal Considerations
- Strength of liability evidence
- Witness credibility
- Defendant’s insurance coverage
- Venue of potential trial
- Similar case results in the jurisdiction
No one can predict exact case values, but our extensive experience with personal injury cases throughout northern California gives us the insight to accurately estimate potential settlements and verdicts.
Our Approach to Insurance Companies
Insurance companies employ teams of adjusters and attorneys whose job is to minimize your payment. They may:
- Pressure you to give recorded statements
- Request unnecessary medical records
- Offer quick, lowball settlements
- Delay processing your claim
- Dispute the severity of your injuries
- Argue pre-existing conditions
- Question your medical treatment
Our personal injury team counters these tactics with aggressive advocacy:
- We handle all communications with insurers
- We compile thorough documentation of your injuries
- We work with medical experts to validate your condition
- We demonstrate the full impact of your injuries
- We negotiate from a position of strength
- We prepare for trial if fair settlement isn’t offered
