Following a car accident, insurance companies often move quickly to minimize their financial responsibility. Without proper legal representation, you risk accepting a settlement that fails to cover your long-term needs. A car accident lawyer from Moseley Collins Law will:

• Conduct a thorough investigation of your accident
• Document all injuries and damages

• Handle all communications with insurance companies
• Prepare your case for trial if necessary
• Maximize your financial recovery

Our experience has shown that clients with legal representation typically receive significantly higher settlements than those who negotiate with insurance companies on their own.

Understanding the common causes of car accidents in Colusa County can help drivers stay vigilant. Our experience handling local cases has identified several recurring factors:

Colusa County's extensive rural road network presents unique driving challenges. Narrow lanes, limited visibility, and unexpected farm equipment on roadways contribute to accident risk. Additionally, these roads often lack the safety features found on major highways.

Interstate 5 runs along the eastern edge of Colusa County, bringing high-speed traffic through the region. Common accidents on I-5 include:

• Rear-end collisions during sudden traffic slowdowns
• Truck accidents due to the high volume of commercial vehicles
• Multi-vehicle pileups during poor weather conditions
• Distracted driving incidents

The rise of smartphones has led to an alarming increase in distracted driving accidents. According to research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, texting while driving increases crash risk by 23 times. Even a momentary distraction can have devastating consequences.

Despite strict laws and public awareness campaigns, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains a significant problem throughout California, including Colusa County.

Some roadways in Colusa County have higher accident rates than others. Being aware of these high-risk areas may help you exercise additional caution:

• Interstate 5, particularly near Williams
• Highway 20 between Colusa and Williams
• Highway 45 between Colusa and Princeton
• The intersection of Market Street and 10th Street in Colusa
• Bridges crossing the Sacramento River
• Rural roads during harvest season when farm equipment is prevalent

Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor to life-threatening. At Moseley Collins Law, we have experience representing clients with various injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken bones and fractures
• Whiplash and neck injuries
• Internal organ damage

• Chronic pain
• Limited mobility
• Cognitive impairments
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Depression and anxiety
• Sleep disorders
• Reduced quality of life

It's important to seek medical attention immediately following an accident, even if you feel fine. Some injuries, particularly those affecting the brain and spine, may not present symptoms immediately but can have serious long-term consequences if left untreated.

The actions you take immediately following a car accident can significantly impact your ability to recover fair compensation. We recommend the following steps:

1. Ensure safety and call 911
2. Seek medical attention, even for seemingly minor injuries
3. Exchange information with other involved parties
4. Document the scene with photos and videos
5. Gather contact information from witnesses
6. Report the accident to your insurance company
7. Contact Moseley Collins Law at 800-426-5546 for a free consultation
