Placer County Personal Injury Lawyer

2 years from date of injury (CCP § 335.1). Claims against Placer County or its cities require a government tort claim within 6 months.

Placer County personal injury cases are typically filed at the Placer County Courthouse (101 Maple St., Auburn, CA 95603). Cases may be heard at other branch courthouses depending on where the injury occurred.

Yes. We represent injury victims across all cities and unincorporated areas of Placer County, including Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Auburn.

If a government entity caused or contributed to your injury — a city, county, the State, a school district, a transit agency or Caltrans — you must present a written claim to that entity before you can sue, and two separate clocks run: 1. Present the claim within six months of the date the cause of action accrued, for claims for death, injury to person, or injury to personal property or growing crops (Gov. Code § 911.2(a)). Claims relating to any other cause of action get one year. A late-claim application may be made within one year under Gov. Code § 911.4, but relief is discretionary. 2. If the entity rejects your claim in writing, you have only six months from the date that rejection is mailed or personally delivered to file suit (Gov. Code § 945.6(a)(1)). This is not two years. If no written rejection is ever given, the period is two years from accrual (§ 945.6(a)(2)). Missing either deadline bars the claim outright.

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — No fees or case costs unless there's a recovery. Your initial case review is always free.
