Eureka is a beautiful community that boasts stunning ocean views, and it’s hard to imagine it as anything other than safe and welcoming. As the largest coastal city between Portland and San Francisco, Eureka is home to the headquarters of the North Coast Redwoods District and the Six Rivers National Forest of the California State Parks System, making it a desirable place to live.

Unfortunately, accidents can still occur, and the negligence of others can often be a contributing factor in incidents that result in serious injuries and even fatalities. Catastrophic injuries from these accidents can be life-changing, affecting the victims and their families.

California law requires motorists whose negligence or lack of action caused accidents to compensate victims for their losses. The law also requires all California drivers to carry auto insurance policies that include coverage for property damage and bodily injury if an accident occurs. Auto insurance policies give drivers at fault a means to pay for any damages to vehicles or injuries that other drivers and passengers sustain.

Unfortunately, many drivers in Eureka carelessly and sometimes even intentionally fail to obey traffic laws, which results in accidents every day. Many accidents result in minimal property damage, while others are catastrophic, leaving cars totaled and victims with life-threatening injuries. Some of these accidents result in death.

We handle the more severe cases when victims have suffered life-altering injuries or lost a loved one to wrongful death. Not all of my cases are vehicular accidents, either. Our clients may have sustained injuries from defective or dangerous products, a slip and fall accident on private property that was not appropriately maintained, or a dog that bit them.

If you have suffered minor injuries in an accident that was someone else’s fault in Eureka, we may be able to refer you to an accident attorney who can handle your case. 

It is crucial to find the right attorney to handle your case. You will only get one shot to get the compensation you are entitled to. The difference between the wrong and right attorney for your case could be settling for an unfair, lowball settlement offer from an insurance company and getting the full compensation you deserve.

How do you choose the right personal injury lawyer in Eureka for your case? Watch YouTube below to help you make the right decision.

Remember, you want to find an attorney who solely practices personal injury law – someone who makes you feel like you are their only client and that they care about the outcome of your case.

Before you choose an injury lawyer, be sure to spend face time with the attorneys you are interested in to find out if they feel like a good fit. Of course, you will probably start your search online. Look at reviews on potential attorneys on Google, Avvo (the lawyer review website), and Yelp. You can also find out if any disciplinary actions have been taken against a lawyer online. Corrective action should be a huge red flag to pass on to that lawyer.

Find out about their previous verdicts and settlements. If their past verdicts and settlements do not make you say, “Wow!” you most likely want to continue your search for an attorney with the exciting verdict and settlement amounts. 

Once you have done your research online, you will probably make a few phone calls and chat with potential attorneys. Of course, the face-to-face meeting will be the tell-all. You will get an instinctive feeling at that meeting that will let you know whether the attorney is a good fit for you. Pay attention to your gut feelings and choose a lawyer who makes you feel your needs and wants are essential.

We provide free, no-hassle consultations to victims of severe accidents. You may have many questions if you or a family member suffers from severe injuries. Call our Eureka personal injury attorneys today at (707) 564-1900 or (800) 404-5400 for free and friendly advice. See our past verdicts and settlements.
