Sacramento Trial Attorneys

Sacramento, the capital of California, is a city where government, history, and innovation converge — but also where traffic dangers and pedestrian injuries are an ongoing concern. With dense downtown streets, expanding suburbs, and a mix of commuters, cyclists, and tourists, Sacramento consistently ranks among the top cities in the state for personal injury incidents.

Here’s what you should know about Sacramento:

• Interstate 5, I-80, and Highway 50 are major corridors for commuters and truckers — and common sites for multi-vehicle crashes and fatal collisions.
• Downtown areas like J Street, L Street, and Capitol Mall have high pedestrian accident rates, especially involving rideshare vehicles and distracted drivers.
• Midtown and East Sacramento are popular with cyclists, but limited bike lanes and aggressive driving cause frequent bike-related injuries.
• The Arden Fair Mall and surrounding areas are high-volume shopping zones with frequent slip-and-falls and parking lot accidents.
• Flooding and wet roads during rainy seasons increase risks for spinouts and single-vehicle crashes across the city.

Sacramento was founded in 1849 during the Gold Rush and became the state capital in 1854. Built along the Sacramento and American Rivers, the city’s early economy was based on agriculture and trade, later expanding with state government, universities, and healthcare systems. While Sacramento has invested in bike lanes and transit, the sheer growth in population and traffic has made its roads — especially in mixed-use zones — increasingly dangerous.
