Route 3 takes local residents to nearby small towns, while highway access is via Interstate 5 for shopping in Medford, Oregon, or trips to Sacramento. As Yreka residents know, weather conditions along these roads can be treacherous, making it more likely for serious car accidents due to flooding, mudslides, or snow. Exercising caution is essential for Yreka residents, but sometimes, accidents cannot be avoided.

You may need the services of an injury lawyer when you’ve been injured, whether caused by a negligent driver, a physician misdiagnosed, or other injuries due to carelessness. Accidents can result in medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses. 

The following are areas that are covered by personal injury:

• Brain injuries
• Car accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Medical device defects
• Truck accidents
• Premises liability
• Wrongful death

One question that comes up when an injured person requires the services of a personal injury attorney is what to look for in a lawyer. The most important advice we can give you would be to seek a lawyer who only works with personal injury cases. Laws regarding personal injury can be complicated, and an attorney who works in other areas might not be the best choice for your accident injury. Ensure the law firm can cover accident reconstruction consults, expert witnesses, and other expenses that might be important to present your case in court.

Since personal injury cases are billed contingently, you don’t pay unless you win. This is vital. Ask about the attorney’s settlements and verdicts. Does the attorney generally settle with the insurance company? This can mean the lawyer does not like to take cases to trial and is willing to pay for a smaller amount than you are entitled to. Does the attorney have several practical recommendations from satisfied clients? If the attorney doesn’t, there may be a reason for that.
