Injury

Sacramento Injury Attorney

When people hear about injury law, it is easy to imagine the stereotypical "ambulance chaser." While such people undoubtedly exist, the unfortunate reality is that people suffer wrongs that occasionally need redress in court. For that, a qualified Sacramento injury attorney may be able to help.

Some injuries are physical, and these are the ones we often think of when we discuss injury law. Examples include getting hit by a drunk driver, a doctor not cleaning a wound properly which ends up infected, or the blades on your lawn mower detaching and injuring someone because of a defect in how they were made. Other injuries might be psychological, but which lead to negative external consequences. Examples include someone stalking and threatening you for months, leading to fear and anxiety; or, someone spreading a lie about you, leading to you losing your job or a prospective business deal. And still, more injuries may be to your property. Examples include a disgruntled tenant intentionally causing a fire in their apartment because they are angry, a vindictive ex partner keying your care, or even fraud and professional malpractice from say, an attorney, an accountant, or an architect.

As Sir William Blackstone, a jurist who had immense influence on the Founders, wrote, "that every right when with-held must have a remedy, and every injury its proper redress." (1 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 23.) If you believe you have suffered an injury, a Sacramento injury attorney can help.
