If you have been injured in a car, truck or motorcycle accident due to the negligence of another, regardless of the nature of the underlying accident, it is important to contact an experienced Sacramento car accident lawyer at The Choyce Law Firm to discuss your legal options.
No one gets up in the morning and says to himself, “I hope I will get hurt in a car accident today.” But, considering that an average number of car accidents in the United States per year is 6 million, and that annually approximately 3 million people get injured in car accidents, being prepared just in case you get into or get hurt a car accident very important.
Unfortunately, an average person does not know all of his rights and obligations in case he or she is in a car accident. Further, insurance companies are often not forthcoming about what an injured party needs to do to get a fair recovery for your damaged vehicle and your injuries, leaving you to pick up the pieces.
Here are some basic steps that you need to take if you ever find yourself in a car accident.
If you feel that the other driver negligently caused the collision do not confront the other driver, it is not going to help. Chances are the other driver did not mean to cause the collision and did not mean to cause you harm. Confronting the other drive will not move the ball forward, it is not productive and even might work against you during processing of the insurance claim or during litigation.
The best thing to do is to keep calm and catch your breath. Remember, both of you have just been in a car accident, it is nerve-racking and stressful for all the parties involved.
This accomplishes two things, first it protects you from being harmed by other drivers who may be driving inattentively; second, it prevents traffic congestion allowing other drivers to safely pass.
If it is not safe to move your vehicle, turn off your vehicle, but turn on the hazard lights in your vehicle to warn the other drivers that your vehicle is not movable.
Remember to check your surroundings before getting out of the vehicle. Other drivers who share the road with you may not be aware of what had just occurred. Only get out when it is safe to do so.
If your injuries or physical disabilities do not allow you to exit your vehicle, remain in the vehicle with the vehicle hazard lights on and follow the next step on this list.
Calling emergency personnel is very important. It accomplishes several things: it records that there you were involved in a car accident, it will get emergency personnel to come out to the scene of the collision to treat you for your injuries.
A local police department or California Highway Patrol (CHP) officer will arrive on the scene of the collision. That officer will take necessary information from all the involved parties in the collision and subsequently prepare a Police Report describing in detail, when the car accident happened, where it happened, which vehicles were involved, what kind of damage the vehicles sustained, it will describe statements of the parties, indicate whether or not the vehicles are insured and assign fault to the at fault party. It is very important to request that an officer prepare this report. Insurance companies use these reports to determine liability, that is, they determine who is at fault for the car accident.
Generally, the traffic collision report will be ready within 10 business days at no cost to the involved parties. CHP will make the face page of the traffic collision report (the page listing parties, vehicles, insurance information) available for pick up the following business day. If the collision involved major injuries or a fatality, the traffic collision report may take longer to complete.
If the car accident is not major and no one involved in the collision sustained major injuries requiring medical transport, an officer may not come out to the scene and will instruct you to simply exchange information with the other driver’s involved. This does happen, but it does not diminish the value of your case. Follow the instructions of the officer and exchange personal and insurance information with the other driver.
Write down as much information as possible:
Do not wait until your physical condition deteriorates. After the collision, shock sets in and adrenaline is pumping through the body. You may feel like you are fine, but because of the shock and adrenaline you may you may be bleeding internally without knowing it. Getting medical treatment is important because insurance companies need proof that you are hurt, and general those who are hurt tend to seek medical treatment.
Go the closes Emergency Room. Medical professionals are trained to identify and treat traumatic injuries. They will perform a physical examination and perform medical imaging to rule out life threatening injuries. However, if you injuries require immediate intervention you may be admitted for further evaluation and treatment.
The insurance companies always want you to report the collision to them before you contact an attorney; however, contacting a personal injury attorney before you make a claim is the right course of action. Remember, insurance companies do not make money by paying out claims.
If you decide to report the claim to the insurance company first, they will require you give a recorded statement about the collision. However, memories fade, you may misremember the course of events, or not mention all the injuries you sustained, etc. Insurance companies may use the information you give their agents to minimize your injury resulting in lower compensation for your injuries and damages.
It is critical that you call Sacramento car accident lawyer who knows how to deal with insurance adjusters. By contacting an attorney, you are effectively laying all your burden and stress on that attorney and his staff who will be responsible for all aspects of your personal injury claim. It makes it easier for you and gives you only one individual to call if you have any questions.
You attorney will guide you through this process and advise you on the best course of action. Your attorney will be able to obtain the traffic collision report, all the necessary medical records and deal with the insurance adjuster to get you fair compensation for your injuries, you pain and your suffering.

This is my second time hiring Mr. Choyce for my son, who was charged with a criminal act. Both times that I hired Mr. Choyce, I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law, his professionalism, and the fact that he was relatable. He is trustworthy, tells you the truth about what you are facing. He is organized, he is a very good listener, came up with strategies that were appealing.I can’t say enough good about Mr. Choyce! I knew that he was going to give my son’s case everything he had, and he did!
Hiring the Choyce Law Firm was the best decision I made while trying to decide what to do after getting charged with a 3rd DUI. I tried to use a lawyer that I had previously used when in trouble with the law, he was near retirement and wasn’t able to give my case the attention I was looking for understanding that I was facing jail time. When contacting Mr Choyce we discussed my case and he told me he could help, he even knew my previous attorney. Mr Choyce was aggressive in fighting my case with filing motions on my behalf an trying to get my case dismissed, I was very pleased that he was not just looking to get the first deal the D.A. offered but was aggressively trying to win my case. Although we were not able to get the dismissal we were looking for he was able to keep me out of jail an I was able to serve my sentence on the EHD Program, which allowed me to keep my job an that was very important to me. Mr Choyce also handled a second case for me, I was charged with driving on a suspended license and no registration. Once again Mr Choyce was aggressive with this case and took it to trail an was able to get a not guilty verdict, which saved me a great deal of money in fines that would be pending with a guilty verdict. Overall hiring Mr Choyce and his team was the best decision I made, he provided great service at a respectable rate, an explained things as they were happening and with the charges I was facing I was very happy with the outcome of my cases that he handled. I would strongly recommend Mr Choyce and his team to anyone I know that needs legal representation he knows the law and will provide you with the best service you could hope for form a lawyer that wants to win.
“This is my second time using Mr. Choyce, and I would choose no one other than him. Both times that I hired him, it was for my son, and they were very serious cases. Mr. Choyce is smart, professional, practical, and relatable. He is a serious person, who listens, speaks in laymens terms, so that you understand what is going on. Not like some that I have experience, who talk over you, and dont take the time to really answer your questions.The second case got very close to going to trial, however, I was confident that I had the best of the best representing my son. Thank God that after willing to go to trial, we got a deal that, I think was a win win.I would definitely, without a question, hire Mr. Choyce again!”
We all know that is not always the case, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season is usually a time of stress and last minute shopping. Americans are also traveling at increased rates across the country, congesting our roads and highways. The odds of getting into a traffic accident significantly increase during periods in which there are more cars on the road. The odds are stacked further against drivers during the Christmas holiday because driving conditions are at their worst during winter. When we take into account the fact that individuals are more likely to be driving drunk during a holiday, the situation begins to look grim.
Travel Patterns – About 91% of holiday travel is made by personal vehicle, and when considering the number of people who travel for the holidays, we can better understand why there is so much congestion on our highways during these times. The Christmas holiday season represents the second busiest long distance travel period of the year, with Thanksgiving taking the top spot. Long distance trips are defined as trips over 50 miles one way, and during the Christmas holiday, these trips increase by 23%. Americans are also more likely to travel farther to get to their destination for Christmas, with the average round trip families make being 276 miles.
Driving While Fatigued – We’ve all made those marathon trips to visit family and friends around the holidays – up at 5am, then driving 6 hours for an early dinner and back on the road again to get home. But do we think about what that kind of trip does to our chances of getting in an accident? We already have a greater chance of getting into an accident during the Holidays because there are significantly more vehicles on the road, and when you take into account increased levels of driver fatigue, we should all be worried. It is estimated that drivers are over 25% more likely to be driving while fatigued during the Christmas holiday.
Driving Under the Influence (“DUI”) – Surprisingly, the statistics show that drinking and driving related fatalities and arrests on Christmas Day do not show a statistically significant increase when compared to the rest of the year’s average. The statistics skew slightly when the holiday falls on a weekend, but it still shows little significance. Christmas Eve is the day during the Christmas holiday season that we see an increase in DUI related activity. Statistics show that DUI – related traffic stops increase an average of 33% on Christmas eve, and DUI related deaths follow a similar trend.
The holidays are meant to be a time of joy and happiness, and we should all do our best to make sure that is the case. We can all help reduce the increase in traffic-related injuries around the holidays if we show a heightened awareness of the activities that cause the increase. Making sure we are prepared, adequately rested, and staying vigilant against drunk driving during our road trips will make the holidays a safer time of year for everyone. The attorneys at The Choyce Law Firm wish you all a happy holiday season and remind everyone to stay safe and have fun while celebrating!

People don’t usually notice the multitude of dangers they encounter on a daily basis. Between dangerous drivers on the road, slick floors in the grocery store, a broken step on the way into work, a neighbor’s unleashed dog, and a faulty product you ordered online, there are many hazards with the potential to cause harm. This may be part of the reason 32 million people were treated for injuries in an emergency room in the US in 2012, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. The nuances that go into personal injury cases are difficult to fully grasp and contacting a Folsom personal injury attorney is the best way to maximize your chances of receiving compensation.
It’s important to understand the laws that protect individuals and how to protect yourself after an incident that causes you personal harm. In order to have a strong personal injury claim in California, there must be physical, emotional, and/or financial injury to the victim inflicted by the defendant.
When an incident occurs, especially a car accident, there is often a police report describing the events. It is very important to get a copy of this to support your claim. In cases where there is no police report or the police report does not assign blame for an incident, it is common for one party to accept the fault at the scene and later changes their story. Insurance companies representing individuals who once admitted fault often have a difficult time accepting responsibility for the damages even though the individual now claims to be innocent.
California is a comparative fault state. This means that each individual involved in an incident may be found partially at fault. The degree to which each individual is at fault affects the degree to which they are compensated and the amount they are required to pay. For example, if two cars collide on the highway and one is found guilty of not yielding when merging but the other driver was texting during the collision, each individual may be a certain percent at fault. Determining the actual amount each party pays could get complicated so speak to a Folsom personal injury attorney regarding your case specifically.
There are many different types of accidents such as:
There are also a number of different types of injuries victims can suffer. Depending on the situation, many different injuries can be covered under personal injury claims. The following is a list of some of the more common injuries an individual may have when filing a personal injury claim:
There may also be non-physical injuries that are incurred and for which an individual may be reimbursed:
If you have suffered any of these types of injuries, it’s imperative you speak with a Folsom personal injury attorney immediately before time runs out in what’s known as statute of limitations.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years from the date the injury was incurred. This means an individual with the intention to sue another person or group for an injury must file a lawsuit and bring the case to court within two years from the time of the incident. If this is not accomplished, it is very likely that the case will be thrown out and no compensation may be retrieved.
When an individual means to bring a case against any form of government, such as a city or county of California state government, the statute of limitations is actually 6 months in these cases. This is not very much time to deal with all the entities involved and to make a strong case without professional help.
There are limitations to compensation under certain circumstances and it’s highly advisable to speak to a Sacramento personal injury attorney for specific limitations regarding your case.
One of the best things you can do to protect yourself from being taken advantage of is to get legal representation. A knowledgeable car accident lawyer in Sacramento at The Choyce Law Firm has years of legal experience handling personal injury claims with insurance companies. We understand the complex laws and procedures will fight on your behalf and can considerably help you get the compensation you deserve.

Getting a DUI is a serious matter which should be discussed with an experienced DUI attorney at the The Choyce Law Firm. There are two main laws that cover underage DUIs in California:
This is known as the “zero tolerance” law for underage DUI. This law states that anyone under the age of 21 that drives with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.01% or greater is in violation of the law and may face a one-year suspension of their driver’s license. This law is not only limited to alcoholic beverages and includes any sources that include alcohol, including medications. In order to determine the presence of very low amounts of alcohol in the underage driver’s blood, law officers use a preliminary alcohol screening (PAS) test. This can be conducted through a standard breathalyzer or similar device and works by measuring the alcohol on a person’s breath and converts it to the blood content.
Though breaking this law is not a crime with severe punishments, it is still advantageous to hire a skilled DUI Lawyer in Fairfield. A DUI attorney can help an individual in violation of this law to challenge the license suspension, resulting in a cancellation of the suspension or in the procurement of a special “restricted hardship” license, which permits the individual to drive to work, school, or for family affairs.
This is an additional law regarding drivers under the age of 21, often referred to as the “underage DUI” law, and outlines additional consequences if an underage driver is caught with a BAC of 0.05% or greater. A violation of this law may result in fines up to $100, a one-year suspension of the driver’s license, as well as 3 or more months of mandatory alcohol education school (for those 18 and over).
When an individual is arrested for an underage DUI after failing a roadside breathalyzer, the blood alcohol content is typically confirmed by a chemical test. This is done by an additional breath test on a desktop machine at the police station, or through a blood test.
Though technically not a DUI, VC23224 prohibits possession of alcohol in a vehicle by a person younger than 21 years of age. Violation of this law is considered a misdemeanor and may result in a one-year suspension of the driver’s license, a fine of up to $1000, and vehicle impoundment for up to 30 days.
Drivers under 21 years of age are not permitted to have alcohol in the car unless the following conditions are met:
In addition to violating the above laws, which only apply to drivers under 21, an underage driver may also be charged with an adult (standard) DUI offense when applicable.
Any individual may be charged with a standard adult DUI (VC23152b) if they are operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of 0.08% or higher or if an officer observes impaired driving ability that can be attributed to alcohol or drugs. Violation of this law may result in the suspension of the driver’s license, 3 to 5 years of misdemeanor probation, a fine of $390 to $1000, mandatory alcohol education school, and up to 6 months in county jail. If you have been charged with a DUI, make sure you contact a DUI Lawyer in Fairfield immediately for legal representation.
It is very important to seek legal advice from an experienced DUI Lawyer in Fairfield when charged with DUI offenses while underage. An experienced attorney may be able to successfully defend a client from prosecution. The following list includes some of the most common DUI and underage DUI defenses:

Driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol in the Vacaville, CA is a criminal act prosecuted through the criminal justice system, not handled through the DMV like minor traffic infractions. If you are charged with a DUI, choose a Vacaville DUI lawyer who has specific DUI defense experience to receive the most vigorous defense.
A DUI can be charged if your “blood alcohol content” (BAC) is 0.08% or higher. The “BAC” is a measurement of how much ethanol as opposed to blood is found within the bloodstream by volume. Drivers under 21 have a legal limit of 0.01% BAC, while commercial driver’s license holders have a limit of 0.04% BAC. To determine BAC, a law enforcement may test a driver’s breath, urine, or blood.
If a driver doesn’t meet the legal limit to be charged with a DUI, he can still be charged with reckless driving when appropriate. Moreover, the Solano County District Attorney will charge a high blood alcohol allegation if a defendant’s blood alcohol level is .15 percent or greater; this can carry increased penalties such as a longer DUI program and a longer jail sentence.
Even if you are facing a first-time DUI charge, the criminal penalties in California can be onerous. It is believed that the harshness of these penalties has led to lower arrest rates for misdemeanor DUIs. The criminal procedure is separate and apart from the DMV’s administrative procedure for a DUI. If you are arrested with a DUI, you should hire experienced Vacaville DUI attorney to help you fight the charges, which can result in harsh consequences:
Second and third offenders who are convicted of misdemeanor DUIs may face even greater penalties.
If a person is injured as a result of a DUI or in the case of felony DUIs, all of these fines and jail times may increase. For example, someone convicted of a felony DUI with an injury may face 16 months to 10 years in prison, and an additional sentence based on how many were injured and how badly, between $1,015 – 5,000 in fines, mandatory treatment in an alcohol or drug program, habitual traffic offender status for three years, and have to pay restitution to the persons injured. On top of these criminal penalties, people who are convicted of a DUI must also deal with court fees and DMV fees and a record that lasts 10 years. If an individual is arrested for a DUI, and he was convicted of one or more DUIs within the last 10 years, he or she is a second or third-time offender.
If You Need Help Challenging a DUI Charge in Vacaville, CA contact a DUI Lawyer at The Choyce Law Firm. The penalties for a DUI can be severe. The Choyce Law Firm can help you fight a DUI charge. We have extensive experience handling criminal defense cases, and we have helped many clients get DUI charges dropped or reduced based on faulty tests, improper procedures, unlawfully acquired evidence, and many other reasons.

Though the state of California has a reputation for being open to a wide variety of lifestyles, it is quite harsh when it comes to levying jurisprudence on things like driving while intoxicated. The incredibly large and diverse population in the state demands that intoxication infractions be weighed on a set scale. This creates a no-tolerance atmosphere that all drivers should be aware of.
The penalties for a DUI in California are heavily measured by the damages caused by intoxicated driving. This means that lighter penalties are given if a driver causes no harm to others. Penalties for intoxication, however, can be quite severe if intoxication causes an accident where property damage or physical harm to another party occurs.
The penalty for a first-time DUI conviction in California includes financial costs and jail time. Minimum financial payment can total around $2,000 for fines and judicial assessments. Along with these fines, 2-day jail sentences are required. After the jail sentence is served, DUI recipients will need to enroll in an alcohol treatment program, while dealing with a 90-day restriction on their driver’s license privileges.
People who incur a second DUI in California are responsible for several thousands of dollars in penalties, along with a required three-year enrollment in an alcohol treatment program. The penalties also include a two-year restriction on driving privileges, vehicle impounding, and up0 to a one-year jail sentence. The state will also require driver locks on all owned vehicles.
A third DUI in California will elicit penalties for a DUI that virtually eliminate the possibility of being able to drive in the state without assistance. These penalties include maximum financial assessments of more than $18,000, 4 months in jail, 30-month offender education programs, and the court option of forfeiture of owned vehicles.
All of these penalties for a DUI in the state of California are standard in instances where no other parties are involved. If DUIs are given in accident cases, the penalties can be much harsher and include lengthier jail sentences and fines. The California legal system is absolutely intolerant when it comes to driving under the influence of alcohol and controlled substances.

When contacting Mr Choyce we discussed my case and he told me he could help, he even knew my previous attorney. Mr Choyce was aggressive in fighting my case with filing motions on my behalf an trying to get my case dismissed, I was very pleased that he was not just looking to get the first deal the D.A. offered but was aggressively trying to win my case. Although we were not able to get the dismissal we were looking for he was able to keep me out of jail an I was able to serve my sentence on the EHD Program, which allowed me to keep my job an that was very important to me. Mr Choyce also handled a second case for me, I was charged with driving on a suspended license and no registration. Once again Mr Choyce was aggressive with this case and took it to trail an was able to get a not guilty verdict, which saved me a great deal of money in fines that would be pending with a guilty verdict.

Without an experienced Sacramento injury lawyer it is difficult to navigate the legal aspects of a personal injury claim and determine the exact course of action. Most people are not aware of all possible remedies available to them. However, the law of remedies provides a multiple avenues for the recovery of an injured passenger.
First, if you were injured as passenger in a car accident remember, you cannot be put at fault for the collision. California is a pure comparative fault state. This means that anyone who was injured in a car accident can recover against the at fault party comparative to the fault assigned to that party. To rephrase, if a person who was injured in a car accident has been determined to be 40% at fault for the collision, that individual will still be able to recover for his or her damages, however the recovery will be reduced by 40%, the percentage of fault assigned to that injured individual.
When it comes to passengers who are injured remember, they are not driving, so they cannot be put at fault for the collision. Therefore, it will likely be a clear liability case against one of the drivers.
Second, passengers who are injured in car accident may be able to recover from more than just one insurance policy. Because every driver is required by law to carry liability insurance on his or her vehicle, each of the drivers involved in the collision will likely have a policy of insurance against which the injured passenger can recover. In other words, if you were a passenger in someone else’s vehicle and were injured because another driver caused the collision with the vehicle you were in, you may be able to recover against both (1) the “at fault” driver, and (2) the driver of the vehicle you were a passenger in.
This means that there may potentially be multiple policies of insurance covering the injured passenger, and therefore a better financial recovery for the injured. However, there are other important nuances which require attention of an experienced Sacramento injury lawyer.
There are several legal pitfalls which require immediate attention. From the time of the collision there are multiple steps that you must make to justly recover for the injuries you sustained in the collision.
You must be aware of the statute of limitations governing over you claim. Remember, every case has a statute of limitations. And if the injured passenger fails to properly assert his or her claim, that claim is effectively waived. If you waive your claim, you will not be able to recover for your injuries.
You must inform the insurance company (often more than one) about your personal injury claim. However, most lawyers will advise against contacting insurance companies. Remember, insurance companies are not in the business of paying settlement claims. They are not your friends and are not looking out for your best interest. For this reason call a personal injury attorney, who will determine your rights for your specific situation and develop the best plant for your recovery.

People often don’t realize that the only way to get the help they need in their situation is to find a lawyer. Sometimes people wait to the last minute to get help with their legal situation and find out it’s too late because they missed a deadline or a Statute of Limitations. That’s why it is extremely important to seek a legal consultation early on when you find yourself in trouble in order to protect yourself and your loved ones.
It is imperative to talk with a lawyer that has the experience and knowledge to give you the answers that will solve your problems.

Wisdom is knowing when to seek professional help, especially for a personal injury or criminal case. We often think that the insurance company will treat us fairly, or I can make more money if I handle the case myself. That unfortunately is never the case.

You need to consult a lawyer before you make your problems worse trying to handle it yourself.

Many people would consider a sideswipe accident to be relatively minor with property damage as the greatest concern. However, sideswiping can actually be very serious and is often just the first incident in a more severe collision. Most sideswiping incidents occur when two cars are driving side-by-side and a driver becomes distracted, drifting into the lane of the other driver. At this point, there is the possibility for escalation. If either driver reacts to this contact by overcorrecting, they may veer into yet another car, an inanimate object, or may flip their car if the overcorrection is severe enough. If you or someone you know has been involved in a sideswipe accident, call auto accident attorney in Sacramento at The Choyce Law Firm to see if you’re eligible for compensation.
Nearly a quarter of a million (250,000) sideswipe incidents occur per year, resulting in approximately 27,000 injuries and more than 2,500 fatalities, according to the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety.
There are many situations in which a sideswipe accident may occur. Below is a list of the most common circumstances that may lead to this collision:
Regardless of the cause, it is important to note that sideswipe accidents are entirely avoidable. If you have been injured because someone negligently sideswiped you, speak to an auto accident attorney in Sacramento who can evaluate your case.
One unique concern for sideswipe accidents is the car’s’ safety precautions. Most car accidents occur to the front or rear of the car. This is why cars are equipped with bumpers and airbags in the steering wheels. The sides of cars consist of the door panel – a thin material with no bumper to absorb any impact. While these collisions are not nearly as severe as a T-bone accident, they can cause the driver to lose control and hit other cars or inanimate objects or even roll over. Injuries can be minor to substantial. Below is a list of potential injuries that may be incurred:
After any car collision, there are several things each driver should do. Below is a brief outline:
Determining fault in a sideswipe accident can be very difficult. Sometimes the perpetrator is unknown, such as when it occurs to a parked car. In the case that a car is sideswiped while legally parked, the perpetrator may be charged with a hit and run if they fled the scene without leaving contact information.
In most cases in which the two drivers are traveling in the same direction, it can be very difficult to determine fault. Both cars have damage and even if one has more damage than the other, it’s difficult to determine who caused the accident. It can take an expert crash investigation involving witness testimony and police reports.
Insurance companies are organizations with the main goal of making a profit. Even when their policyholder is at fault, the insurance company will try to minimize their liability and undercut any damage or injury. California is a comparative fault state, meaning each driver in a collision can be considered partially at fault, affecting their ability to collect compensation.
The best thing an individual involved in a sideswipe accident can do to protect themselves is to hire an auto accident attorney in Sacramento. Having a knowledgeable and motivated lawyer working on your case can help you get the compensation you deserve.
Sideswipe accidents can be either severe or mild but in the case of an extreme accident, it’s important you speak with an auto accident attorney in Sacramento who can evaluate your case and fight for you in the court of law. The Choyce Law Firm is committed to getting you the best result for your pain and suffering. Give us a call at (916) 306-0636 for a free consultation.
