 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got rear ended in 2021 right after I purchased my brand new vehicle and sustained back and neck injuries. I was referred to Law Offices of Doyle and O’Donnell and everyone in the office from the assistant to the attorneys made the process bearable and easy for me. From the very first call to the end, I was treated with respect and they empathized with me which meant a lot because a car accident is such a scary incident. It took 3 years to finish my case but I was well informed of updates throughout. 5 out of 5 stars

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was rear ended in a collision that resulted primarily in neck pain and headache. The emergency room did not do x-rays and sent me home for three days of rest and then back to work. At this point I thought the injury minor and would therefore work with the car insurance company for the settlement of claims. A colleague strongly encouraged me to consult with Dan O’Donnell at Doyle and O’Donnell because neck injuries were hard to predict. I was immediately impressed with the professionalism of the law office and all of its personnel. On completion of the interview and intake process, I was referred to a chiropractor who completed a full exam including MRIs of the neck. The full extent of the injury then became evident and two years later, I was finally discharged from care with lifelong residual effects.  I will be forever grateful for the management of my case by Mr. O’Donnell and office team.  They remained in touch in me and kept my informed of the case status and obtained my approval for next steps when needed. Obtaining the settlement appropriate to the long term pain and effects of this injury was greatly appreciated.

I thought we had to fight the insurance ourselves until I called and talked to Margaret. She was wonderful, understanding and she instantly accepted our case. We sent information over email, and met once and signed documents and she and her team did the rest. A couple months later we get a settlement offer. It really saved me time and minimize stressed. I would highly recommend her law firm to those who have been in an auto accidents and felt their accident claims is not worth much.

 Verified On my way home from work on my bicycle I was hit in the bike lane by a neglectful driver. It seemed pretty straight forward when they admitted fault after launching me into oncoming traffic and causing injuries that they were to blame. Bring in the insurance companies somehow I was at fault? I didn't want to have to deal with the headache, but that's where Attorney Dan and Paralegal Guille came in. I followed there directions as they pursued compensation for my ER visits and post care. I got the treatment I needed while they fought to the end for what was right. On my end the whole process was easy as they dealt with the insurance company.  No one ever plans on getting injured but if it happens come to them if you're looking for GREAT COMPENSATION, headache free, correct care , and ones who will fight until you get what's rightfully yours. I can't thank them enough and will recommended them to many people as they were very professional and fair. Thank you for all your work you put into my case!

 Verified Six Stars - The extra Star is needed because Dan and Margaret are in a class all by themselves. I discussed my (car) accident with numerous attorneys before selecting this firm. Fortunately, I left a message for Margaret, who immediately returned my phone call, to discuss the potentials of my case. The respect, professionalism, and comfort I felt from our discussion sealed the deal. Ultimately, Dan was my litigation attorney that, in hindsight, proved brilliant. Throughout my ordeal, we discussed my health, injuries, and the best way to address all issues. Dan was always cognizant of the litigation portion of my case and explained to me, in layman's terms, the best approach for the most positive outcome. It was refreshing to see that Dan was always one step ahead of the defendant's litigation team. In conclusion, we settled faster and for much more compensation than anybody, including the other attorneys, expected. With Dan's help, I'm healthier, wealthier, and a little bit wiser. -Remington Caldwell

 Verified I cannot express how pleased I was with the service I received from the Law Offices of Clancey, Doyle & O'Donnell. I was completely overwhelmed after my car accident, and they were able to calm me down and guide me through the process with ease. The staff was so supportive, professional and willing to help. Ms. Doyle and Mr O'Donnell are a great team and are very easy to talk to and confide in.  I am not sure why the first reviewer says she did not hear back promptly, as I never had a problem getting a hold of someone right away. All and all, I would highly recommend this firm!

Essential Steps for Your Auto Accident Claim

Different insurance companies have different reporting requirements. When you file an accident claim, the provider may ask for additional details about your injuries and damages and might require a written or recorded statement. It's a good idea to get legal advice from our Sacramento personal injury attorney before giving a recorded statement, especially if you were at fault in the accident.

The carrier will assign you an adjuster within 15 days of receiving your claim. We suggest that you explain the facts of the situation without exaggeration. Avoid stating that you are fine or hurrying them towards a settlement. Anything you say can be misused against you, causing your Car Accident Claim to be delayed or dismissed.

The adjuster will need your claim form, a recorded statement (or consultation with your lawyer), and statements from the opposing party and witnesses. They will also require a thorough examination of your vehicle, scene photographs, repair shop damage reports, medical bills, evidence of lost wages, and any other relevant information.

Legal Time Limits for Auto Accidents

In Sacramento, the legal auto accident settlement timeline is two years. This implies a collision victim has 2 years to file a damage claim from the accident date. In case of an accident with a government vehicle (local, state, federal), the legal time limit is 6 months.

If a car collision results in the demise of a family member, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a wrongful death lawyer from Doyle & O’Donnell Law Firm against the guilty party. In such circumstances, the time limit for limitations remains two years from the date of the tragedy.

Critical evidence can be easily destroyed, lost, or faded. Hence, do not waste a moment. Immediately hire our auto accident attorney in Sacramento following the incident. If you hire us, we will guide you through the necessary steps and guarantee that all evidence is preserved and your case is handled with the utmost care.

What You Should Do After an Auto Collision

What Are the Most Common Causes of Auto Accidents?

There are many factors responsible for auto accidents. Some of them include:

Drunk Driving or Drug-Impaired Driving

According to the OTS ( California Office of Traffic Safety), alcohol was a responsible factor for 30% of all traffic deaths. Besides, 42% of all drivers killed in accidents tested positive for legal and illegal drugs.

Distracted Driving

Texting while driving is one of the riskiest forms of distracted driving, and 7.6 percent of surveyed drivers were distracted while using smart devices.

Speeding or Driving Too Fast

The reason for 29 percent of auto accidents is that drivers who race, exceed posted speed restrictions, or otherwise drive excessively fast might lose control of their car or fail to stop safely in time.

Driver Fatigue

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that driving when drowsy is comparable to driving while intoxicated. Sleepy drivers have trouble focusing and responding quickly, which makes them extremely risky. According to OTS, 2 percent of all traffic deaths involved sleepy or drowsy drivers.

If you get injured in an auto accident, call 911 immediately and inform the Sacramento police department to obtain a police report. Also, notify our vehicle accident lawyer Sacramento to get assistance through the process.
