Some small towns don’t stay small forever, with Galt being no exception. With more than 25% population growth since 2000, increased traffic density plays a significant role in the frequency of traffic incidents resulting in injury or death. The number of people getting injured in accidents along Highway 99, or the “Golden State Highway,” has grown steadily as more are moving to the area.

If you or a family member has suffered injuries in an accident in the Galt area or elsewhere in Sacramento County, contact our exeperienced injury lawyers at (209) 227-1931 for a free consultation.

Local residents aren’t the only ones at risk. Through-traffic is also a contributing factor, and Northbound traffic towards Sacramento and southbound traffic towards Stockton travel through Galt. Regular commuters in cars, vans, and motorcycles share highway 99 with big-rig truckers, and occasionally accidents happen. 

According to the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), 52 traffic accidents that caused injury or death occurred in Galt. With a population of 25,000, the accident rate is better than in most similar-sized cities in California. However, any accident resulting in severe injury or death can devastate the injured individuals and surviving family members.

What is the best insurance to cover my family from substantial expenses in an auto accident?

The best way to ensure that you and your family are protected in an auto accident is to purchase a substantial limitation of the Uninsured (UM)/Underinsured Motorist (UIM) policy. A single night at UC Davis Medical Center can result in charges over $30,000.

Many drivers on California roads have minimal or no auto coverage. We suggest anyone with a $40,000 or more household income purchase a $250,000/$500,000 UM policy. Such coverage is quite reasonable as the most expensive part of an auto insurance premium is usually the collision coverage on the car.

For families with a household income of $75,000 or more, we suggest they buy the coverage above and add a one-million-dollar personal umbrella covering you or your family members if the $250,000 UM coverage above is inadequate. Please do not confuse a “personal umbrella with UM with a regular umbrella policy. A standard umbrella does not cover UM.
