After a Crash
What to do after a wildfire lawsuits incident in Sacramento
- 1
Call 911 and get medical attention
Emergency responders can document the scene. Even if you feel fine, go to UC Davis Medical Center or your nearest ER — many wildfire lawsuits injuries appear hours or days later.
- 2
Report the incident and get a copy of the report
Ask for the police report number or the property owner's written incident report before you leave the scene.
- 3
Photograph everything at the scene
Vehicles, property damage, the hazard, injuries, license plates, and any visible skid marks or debris. Multiple angles.
- 4
Get witness contact information
Names and phone numbers of anyone who saw what happened. Independent witnesses are the most valuable evidence.
- 5
Preserve physical evidence
Damaged property, clothing, shoes, defective products — do not repair, wash, or discard. It can be critical to your case.
- 6
Do not give a recorded statement to insurers
Politely decline the other party's insurer until you have a lawyer. What you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim.
- 7
Follow every doctor's recommendation
Gaps or missed appointments are used to argue you weren't seriously hurt. Save every bill, prescription, and record.

FAQ
Sacramento Wildfire Lawsuit Lawyer FAQs
Who is liable for my wildfire lawsuits?
Liability depends on the facts, but often includes the at-fault party, their employer, or a property owner. Multiple parties can share fault under California's comparative negligence rules.
How long do I have to file a claim in California?
Generally two years from the date of the injury under California's personal-injury statute of limitations. Claims against government entities carry a strict six-month notice deadline.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still recover under California's pure comparative negligence rule. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not barred from recovery.
How much does a Sacramento wildfire lawsuits lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. Gingery Hammer & Associates, LLP works on a contingency-fee basis — no hourly fees, no retainer. We are only paid if we win a settlement or verdict for you.
How much is my case worth?
It depends on the severity of injuries, medical costs, lost income, insurance available, and the strength of the evidence. We provide realistic case valuations — never guarantees — after a full review.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Almost never. First offers are routinely far below full value. Once you sign a release, you cannot come back for more. Talk to us before signing anything.
What if the insurance company denies my claim?
A denial is not the end of your case. We routinely reopen denied claims by gathering additional evidence, filing suit, or escalating to the insurer's supervisors.
Do you handle cases outside Sacramento?
Yes. In addition to Sacramento and Sacramento County, we represent injured clients throughout the greater Sacramento region and Northern California.
What if my loved one died?
Surviving family can bring a wrongful-death claim for funeral costs, lost financial support, loss of companionship, and grief. California has specific rules on who may file.
How quickly should I contact a lawyer?
As soon as possible. Surveillance video is routinely overwritten within days. Witness memories fade. Vehicles are repaired or scrapped. Early investigation is often what wins the case.
