Car Accident Attorney Roseville, California

Generally two years from the date of the crash under California's personal-injury statute of limitations. Claims against a government entity (such as a dangerous road defect) can have a deadline as short as six months. Because missed deadlines bar your claim permanently, contact a Roseville car accident lawyer as soon as possible.

Nothing up front. Gingery Hammer & Associates works on a contingency-fee basis — no hourly fees and no retainer. We are only paid if we recover compensation for you, and your initial case review is always free and confidential.

Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, future care needs, property damage, and pain and suffering. Serious crashes involving TBI, spinal injury, or wrongful death can be worth substantially more. After reviewing your case we can give you a realistic assessment.

You can still recover in California under the pure comparative negligence rule. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not barred from recovery even if you were largely responsible for the crash.

You may still recover through your own auto insurance under uninsured motorist (UM) or hit-and-run coverage. We investigate the scene, pull traffic-camera footage, and identify every available source of compensation.

Almost never. First offers are almost always well below the true value of the claim, and accepting one usually requires signing a release that ends your right to any further compensation — even for injuries that get worse later. Call us before you sign anything.

Straightforward claims can resolve in a few months. Complex cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or litigation can take longer. We keep you informed at every stage and work to resolve your case efficiently without sacrificing value.

Usually no — most car accident cases settle out of court. Our attorneys prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which positions us for the strongest settlement and ensures we are ready if the insurance company refuses to pay what your claim is worth.

Do not give a recorded statement, do not sign anything, and do not accept an early settlement. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Call us first at (916) 999-9093 — a five-minute conversation can protect the full value of your claim.

Yes. In addition to Roseville and Placer County, we represent injured drivers throughout Sacramento and the greater Sacramento region.

Surviving family members can bring a wrongful death claim in California to recover funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship. We handle these cases with compassion and pursue full accountability against the responsible driver.
