41 personal injury attorneys serve Sacramento. Cases are filed in the Sacramento County Superior Court, with federal matters in the Eastern District of California.
California's pure comparative negligence rule means a claimant's share of fault reduces the award rather than defeating the claim. Where a public entity is involved — a city, county or state agency, which in the capital region is common — a formal government claim must usually be presented within months, long before any lawsuit is filed.
Raise that point on the first call if your collision involved a public vehicle, a road defect or a government employee. Ask too how case costs are handled if the claim does not succeed.
