Common Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Our firm represents clients across Redding and the surrounding communities. Below are some of the most common types of cases we see in the region.
Car Accidents
Redding's busy roadways — Interstate 5, Highway 44, and North Market Street — see frequent collisions caused by distracted or impaired drivers. We handle rear-end crashes, T-bone collisions, and multi-vehicle pileups, pursuing compensation for your medical bills and lost income.
Truck Accidents
Redding sits along major freight routes between Oregon and Central California, making heavy truck traffic a serious risk. Whether it's an 18-wheeler accident or commercial vehicle crash, our attorneys work with accident reconstruction experts to prove liability.
Motorcycle Accidents
Scenic routes like Placer Street and Eureka Way attract motorcyclists, but careless drivers often fail to share the road. We work to recover compensation for injuries, bike repairs, and long-term care.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners in Redding — whether a business in the Mt. Shasta Mall, a restaurant on Market Street, or an apartment complex near Lake Boulevard — must maintain safe premises. We pursue claims for injuries caused by wet floors, uneven sidewalks, poor lighting, and other hazards.
Dog Bites
California's strict liability law (Civil Code 3342) means dog owners are responsible for bites, even if the dog has never shown aggression before. Whether the attack happened in Caldwell Park or a private residence, we'll pursue damages for medical treatment, scarring, and emotional trauma.
Wrongful Death
If you've lost a loved one because of another person's negligence, our firm will fight to hold the responsible party accountable. We pursue compensation for funeral costs, loss of income, and the immeasurable loss of companionship.
Workplace Injuries
From industrial worksites to retail stores, Redding workers face daily risks. We handle workers' compensation claims and third-party personal injury lawsuits for those injured due to unsafe conditions, defective machinery, or negligent contractors.
How Long Do You Have to File a Claim
Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, for claims that involve government entities, accident victims will only have 6 months to file a claim as per California Government Code 911.2.
Redding injury cases often involve complex factors such as multiple drivers, out-of-state trucking companies, or city-maintained roads. It's important to speak with an attorney immediately. Our team will determine the correct filing deadline and preserve critical evidence such as surveillance footage and accident reports from the Redding Police Department.

How Much Does a Redding Personal Injury Lawyer Charge
To many people's surprise, a Redding personal injury lawyer is more affordable than one would have imagined, because many lawyers operate under a contingency fee system. This means the lawyer would not collect any legal fees until they win their client's case.
Should the lawyer lose the claim, the accident victim would not pay anything. If the lawyer wins or manages to receive an acceptable settlement offer, the accident victim would only have to pay a flat fee for their services. This ensures every accident victim in Redding has access to quality legal representation.
Upfront Cost
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case. The fee can be discussed during your free consultation.
