Sacramento Personal Injury Attorneys

In addition to being the political capital of the largest state in the Union, home of the California Assembly, Governor of California, and the California Supreme Court, the City of Sacramento is also one of the fastest growing cities in the Golden State.  This growth is due in large part to Sacramento’s burgeoning economy, which benefits from the city’s status as a center of the West Coast financial industry and its high concentration of renowned institutions of higher education like the prestigious University of California, Davis and Sacramento State.  It is also a regional hub of the healthcare industry and has a reputation for cultural diversity and inclusiveness.  In short, Sacramento has become one of the most attractive and vibrant cities on the West Coast, and a destination for visitors and ex-pats from other areas of the state and country.

Unfortunately, the denser the population of a given area, the greater hazards residents and visitors face in everyday life, and Sacramento’s monumental growth has come coupled with an increase in injurious accidents.  As more and more people and vehicles crowd the roads and businesses of California’s capital, hospitals and emergency rooms are seeing upticks in injury and trauma victims.  That’s why The Dominguez Firm provides vitally important personal injury legal representation to injury victims in the greater Sacramento area.  While we can’t prevent accidents from happening, we can provide you with high quality and experienced representation that can be the key to ensuring maximum compensation and are with minimal stress.

How Damaging are Sacramento Accidents?

Accidents can arise out of a variety of unfortunate circumstances, and most accidents are entirely preventable.  Injuries that result from accidents can be extremely disruptive to the livelihoods of victims and their families, and the effects of these injuries can impact them for the rest of their lives.

According to the California Department of Public Health, in Sacramento County in 2018 there were roughly:

• 144,700 motor vehicle crashes
• 578,300 unintentional injuries due to accidents

The California Office of Traffic Safety reported that in 2016 in Sacramento County there were:

• 12,851 traffic accident related injuries and fatalities
• 644 pedestrian injuries and fatalities
• 556 motorcycle related injuries and fatalities
• 337 bicycle related injuries and fatalities
• 935 hit-and-runs
• 3,309 injuries and fatalities involved speeding
• 935 injuries and fatalities involved alcohol

2016 saw the highest number of traffic fatalities in the Sacramento area in two decades, with nearly 260 people dying in traffic accidents during that year alone.

With increased urban growth comes increased everyday risk, and The Dominguez Firm is standing by to help victims of accidents of all types to collect compensation and get back on the path to recovery and their former quality of life.

What Kind of Compensation Can an Injury Victim Expect?

Personal injury claims in California are designed to compensate accident victims for losses related to their accident, allowing them to pay their expenses, ease the burden on themselves and their families, and begin to rebuild their lives.  Each accident and resulting personal injury claim is different, and the type and amount of compensation that you can expect to collect varies depending on the particular facts of your case.

The two most common types of compensation awards we see in conventional personal injury cases are (1) economic damages and (2) non-economic damages.  Both categories of damages are designed to compensate an injury victim for costs arising directly from their injuries.

Economic damages encompass the out-of-pocket expenses resulting from an injury and tend to be relatively easily quantifiable.  Common economic damages include the costs of:

• Hospital bills
• Medications and medical equipment
• Cost of ongoing treatment
• Physical or occupational therapy
• Loss of income or income-generating capacity
• Property loss or damage

Non-economic damages encompass the less-easily quantifiable and more subjective costs of an injury.  They are meant to compensate for the emotional, psychological, or relational losses that can result from a physical injury.  Non-economic damages may help to compensate for:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Anxiety
• Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Physical pain
• Debilitation or disfigurement
• Negative impacts on quality-of-life
• Loss of companionship or consortium

In very rare cases, a jury may award the victim punitive damages.  These damages are not intended to compensate the victim for losses related to their injury, but rather to punish the defendant for especially reckless, wanton, or malicious behavior, and hopefully to deter them from making poor decisions in the future.  In order to win punitive damages, the victim must provide ironclad evidence proving that the defendant acted especially egregiously, which can be extremely difficult to do successfully.

Over the last thirty years that our firm has been in operation, The Dominguez Firm personal injury attorneys have collected more than $1 billion in compensation on behalf of our clients.  We regularly collect awards in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars on behalf of individual victims.

–Delia R.

One of the best law firm in the world! I truly want to address the dedication and trust the Dominguez Firm gives. As a woman, it’s really hard to find good people to trust. I was very pleased how [they] handled my property damage. Not to mentioned the great service that my paralegal had towards me and my family. He was very tentative towards my questions and concerns. He helped me get the health care I needed towards my injury. My attorney tried to get me and my family the right compensation and he did. I’m truly blessed to have found the Dominguez Firm!
