Oakley is a city of more than 43,000 residents in Contra Costa County. It is part of the Bay Area. Although Oakley was only incorporated as a city in 1999, its history goes back to prehistoric times. The city contains four prehistoric sites, one of which is a shell mound discovered in the early 20^th century.

Victims of accidents caused by negligence and survivors of victims of these accidents can recover compensation for their damages through personal injury and wrongful death claims. I work on serious personal injury claims, such as:

• Medical Malpractice
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Premises Liability
• Products Liability
• Traumatic Injuries
• Truck Accidents
• Wrongful Death

Today, everybody is on social media. Do not underestimate the power of using social media to connect with others and review companies. Work with a law firm that has a substantial social media presence. This shows that the firm is willing to adapt to our changing world to effectively connect with its prospective clients.

Social media is just one element of a firm’s online presence. The firm should also have reviews on third-party websites like Avvo, Yelp, and Google and a well-developed website. Work with a law firm that has invested the time to develop its website, list client testimonials, and publicize its past verdicts and settlements. This shows the firm wants to share its successes with prospective clients, not hide potential embarrassments.

The third-party websites discussed above show client testimonials in a format that the firm cannot control. Although this serves a similar purpose to social media, review sites often feature more in-depth reviews of companies. Use the online reviews to guide your search for a personal injury law firm.

Watch our helpful video: How to Choose the Right Personal Injury Lawyer. Use the following video as a guide to speaking with potential Oakley personal injury lawyers.

Use the following guidelines to choose the best lawyer to handle your case:

• Select an attorney who focuses on personal injury law, not a lawyer who has multiple practice areas;
• A good lawyer should be responsive to your inquiries. Do not work with an Oakley law firm that does not return your calls or emails;
• Work with a lawyer who has trial experience. Although you might not need to go to court to resolve your claim, it is good to be prepared to do so if necessary and
• Your lawyer should be someone you feel comfortable speaking with rather than someone who intimidates or makes you anxious.

Oakley is more than an hour away by car from Sacramento. Because of this, you might not initially consider working with a personal lawyer in Sacramento. But you must choose an Oakley auto accident attorney based on how well they can handle your claim rather than their proximity to your home. If we feel we are a good fit, we will pay your transportation and lodging costs for you to stay overnight in Sacramento when you come to discuss your case with me.

What intersections have the most occurrences of accidents in Oakley?

In Oakley, Main Street and its intersections are the most dangerous roadways. Main Street and Empire Avenue are one intersection where multiple collisions have been recorded. The Empire Avenue and Oakley Road intersection is another area where a collision occurred.

At any intersection, drivers are at a greater risk of being involved in an accident than on straight roadways because they need to adjust their speed, merge, and sometimes stop when entering an intersection.

If you have been seriously injured in an accident that could have been avoided had another person exercised greater care, call our experienced Oakley personal injury lawyers for fast, free, and friendly advice at no obligation to you. Call our injury lawyers today at (925) 428-5220 or (800) 404-5400. See a list of past cases on our verdicts and settlements page.
