Why Hiring a Local Personal Injury Lawyer Matters More Than Choosing a Mill Firm
Frank Penney • December 5, 2024
If you’ve been in a serious accident, you’re probably overwhelmed with decisions; one of the most important being which lawyer to hire. While those flashy national law firms you see on billboards and TV might seem like the easiest option, they’re often not the best choice. Known as “settlement mills,” these firms focus on processing as many cases as possible, often at the expense of personalized service and real results.
Instead, choosing a local personal injury lawyer, like Frank Penney Injury Law, gives you a real advocate. Someone who knows your community, values your case, and fights for what you deserve. Here’s why going local is always better:
Settlement Mills vs. Local Attorneys
Corporate law firms, or settlement mills, are like assembly lines. They handle a massive number of cases and push for quick, lowball settlements to save time. Their goal? Move on to the next case as fast as possible.
A local law firm, on the other hand, focuses on quality over quantity. They take fewer cases so they can give each client the attention they need. Your lawyer is directly involved, not just handing you off to paralegals or assistants. At Frank Penney Injury Law, we believe every client deserves to feel like a priority, not just another number.
The Benefits of Hiring a Local Lawyer
1. Personalized Attention
Big corporate firms rarely give your case the time it needs to truly succeed. Local lawyers are different, they listen to your story, understand your injuries, and work tirelessly to build a strong case.
At Frank Penney Injury Law, we treat every case as unique. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with a traumatic brain injury, or handling the loss of a loved one, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
2. Deep Knowledge of California Laws
Personal injury laws are complicated and vary from state to state. Hiring someone familiar with California-specific rules can make all the difference in your case. Plus, local lawyers understand how courts in your area work, including judges, opposing lawyers, and even insurance adjusters.
With decades of experience in California, Frank Penney Injury Law knows how to navigate the local legal system to your advantage.
3. Connections to Local Experts
Winning a case often requires more than just a lawyer. You may need medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists, or other professionals to prove your case. A local attorney has these connections and can quickly bring in trusted experts when needed.
At Frank Penney Injury Law, we’ve spent years building a strong network of professionals throughout Northern and Central California to help strengthen our clients’ cases.
4. Stronger Relationships
When you hire a local lawyer, you’re not just another file on their desk. Local attorneys build genuine relationships with their clients. They’re accessible, approachable, and ready to answer your questions throughout the process.
Our team at Frank Penney Injury Law takes pride in keeping you informed and involved. We’re always here to explain your options, fight for you, and make sure you feel supported.
5. They Care About Your Community
Local attorneys don’t just work in your community, they’re a part of it. They’re invested in helping their neighbors and making a difference.
Frank Penney Injury Law is committed to giving back through programs like the Sacramento Kings Bank Shots for Tots initiative. Our dedication to the community inspires us to go the extra mile for our clients.

A driver was seriously injured Saturday evening in a crash on Highway 99 near Fresno Street, according to the California Highway Patrol. The incident occurred on the southbound shoulder of the highway, where a commercial big rig had pulled over due to mechanical issues. As the truck sat stopped on the shoulder, a Ford Taurus traveling at high speed veered onto the same shoulder and slammed into the back of the trailer. Authorities say the Taurus appeared to be driving recklessly before the collision. The impact left the car heavily damaged, and the driver—who was not wearing a seatbelt—was rushed to a local hospital with major injuries. “Our hearts go out to the injured driver,” the CHP said in a statement. “This incident serves as a stark reminder that excessive speed and reckless behavior can have devastating consequences.” The CHP is using the crash as an opportunity to remind all motorists to drive responsibly, follow traffic laws, and always wear a seatbelt.

A tragic series of events unfolded Saturday morning in Sacramento when a police pursuit ended in a seven-vehicle collision that killed an innocent bystander. The crash occurred at the busy intersection of Florin Road and Greenhaven Drive. The incident began around 10:15 a.m. when Sacramento police received a call from a woman requesting assistance in retrieving her belongings from a home on Farm Dale Way. She expressed concern that her former partner, a known domestic violence suspect, might be present at the residence. Officers recognized the location from a prior domestic violence call the previous weekend. At that time, the suspect, Daniel Cunningham, 33, had already fled before officers arrived. During the ongoing investigation, police developed probable cause to believe that Cunningham had committed felony domestic violence. He was also identified as a parolee at large with an outstanding warrant. On Saturday, officers located Cunningham in a vehicle, which led to a high-speed chase heading westbound on Florin Road. The pursuit ended abruptly when Cunningham’s vehicle crashed into multiple cars at the Florin and Greenhaven intersection. According to police, the pursuit was short and officers had lost visual contact with Cunningham's vehicle just prior to the collision. Following the crash, Cunningham attempted to escape on foot but was quickly apprehended with the assistance of a police K-9. He was transported to a hospital for evaluation before being booked. Tragically, the crash claimed the life of 30-year-old Huyn Huu Duc Nguyen of Elk Grove, a bystander with no connection to the suspect. Details on other possible injuries, including whether children were involved, have not yet been confirmed. Sacramento Police spokesperson Anthony Gamble stated, “Our officers had the obligation to bring this person to justice. He made the decision to run. He made the decision to drive at a high rate of speed. He put himself and everybody else’s lives in danger by his actions and he caused this collision that took the life of somebody who was not involved in this whatsoever.” The California Highway Patrol has taken over the investigation into the crash itself. Cunningham faces multiple charges including parole violation, felony domestic violence, and felony evasion.

A tragic accident in Sacramento claimed the life of a woman on Tuesday evening, June 3, in the parking lot of a Bel Air grocery store on Rush River Drive. Around 6 p.m., Sacramento Police responded to reports of a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle. When officers arrived, they found a woman pinned between two vehicles with severe injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities later identified the victim as 36-year-old Linda Angelica Tracy, a Sacramento resident. According to police, she appears to have been the one operating her own vehicle when it accidentally struck and pinned her between another parked car. Two children were inside her vehicle at the time of the incident but were unharmed. The cause of the crash remains unclear, though investigators confirmed it was not a hit-and-run. Linda’s death has been officially classified as a motor vehicle accident by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office. Her passing has left a deep void in the lives of those who knew and loved her. In a statement released by her family, Linda was remembered as “an exceptional mother and friend, who constantly put her family and community first.” They described her as someone who never hesitated to take on difficult and thankless tasks. A dedicated Girl Scout troop leader, school fundraiser, and the kind of parent always present for games, birthdays, and play dates, Linda was known for running a tight ship at home and for her love of planning family adventures. Soft-spoken but fiercely loyal, her family said she was the kind of person you wanted in your corner during tough times, someone who would do anything to protect the people she loved. The incident remains under investigation. Experience unparalleled legal representation with Frank Penney Injury Law , the esteemed recipients of the CAOC Trial Attorney of the Year award.
