Damages and Eligibility

If you are involved in an auto accident through the negligence or reckless actions of another party, you are eligible to file a claim for damages. Though each case is different, typically a victim can obtain financial compensation for property damage, medical bills, loss of wages, and pain and suffering. In many instances involving motor vehicle accidents, these damages are paid by the defendant's insurance provider. In cases involving uninsured motorists, it can be far more difficult to obtain the compensation you deserve. Through legal representation, you can provide yourself with the best chance at obtaining just and fair financial compensation.

We can work with your insurance provider - if you have uninsured motorist coverage, you can file a claim with your own provider for damages - as well as pursue legal action to ensure you are justly compensated. If you lack UM coverage, it may be necessary to file an uninsured motorist claim. At our Chico, Roseville, Sacramento, and area offices, we routinely handle such claims. Filing suit against third party defendants may be possible and we can weigh the defendant's assets as well.

Establishing Liability

Our number one priority at the Law Offices of Larry S. Buckley is providing our clients with exceptional representation and counsel so that we can obtain the best possible recovery. To do this, we provide honest, informative counsel and work with experts in the fields of science, medicine, and economics.

This provides both our team and you, the client, with the resources and tools needed to make invaluable decisions regarding your legal rights. A successful recovery in a motor vehicle accident case depends entirely on establishing liability. Working with accident investigators, forensic analysts, and psychologists, we can factually outline the circumstances of a motor vehicle accident and establish fault beyond doubt. Once liability has been established, we can pursue all avenues of recovery.

Victims' Rights

As a victim, you have rights, and we will commit ourselves to protecting those rights. We highly encourage accident victims to seek legal counsel as soon as possible if they have suffered injury, as the statute of limitations provides the plaintiff with a limited amount of time in which he or she can file a claim for damages. If you are interested in filing an uninsured motorist claim, we can help at our Chico, Roseville, and Sacramento offices. We have successfully recovered millions in settlements and verdicts, and may be able to do the same for you.

Defendant's Duty

All motorists have a duty to abide by all traffic laws, drive in a reasonable and safe manner, and to maintain insurance coverage on their vehicle. If an individual fails to abide by this standard of duty and causes injury as a result, he or she can be held accountable for damages. In the event that the defendant is uninsured, it may be possible to go after his or her assets to recoup losses.
