We Have an Accomplished Team of Attorneys
One of the first thing you want to consider when looking for a lawyer is what they’ve accomplished so far. As a client, you should ask a law firm about their trials, their losses, their background, and what positions they’ve held. If you start to ask those questions to the attorneys at Cutter Law, you’ll find out that we have an accomplished group.
Below is a representative snapshot of the successful cases our law firm has handled:

We Are Known As a Firm That Will Take Your Case to Trial
If you’ve really had a serious injury, then you want a firm that is in it for the long haul and will invest all resources. At Cutter Law, we don’t have a problem with investing mid-six figures into some cases. We’ve had teams of up to fifteen experts on our side for our clients. We do that because the insurance companies don’t go willingly. They fight hard, so we fight harder.
If you hire a law firm like ours, most cases will resolve—even the serious ones—because the insurance companies respect us.

Sacramento Personal Injury FAQs
Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions our Sacramento injury lawyers see:
How can I maximize my personal injury settlement?
To get the best settlement possible, you should:
- Gather evidence such as photos, videos, medical bills, and accident reports
- Seek medical treatment as soon as possible after the accident
- Work with your attorney to calculate your damages
- Do not accept any settlement offers without talking to your lawyer
- Do not sign any insurance company documents without consulting with your attorney
What factors impact my Sacramento personal injury settlement value?
Every Sacramento personal injury case is different. Here are some of the factors that may impact the amount of your settlement:
- Severity of the injury
- Level of disruption to daily life
- Total of the medical bills
- Insurance policy limits
- Certainty of liability
- Question of shared fault
- Availability of evidence
What if you are partially responsible for your accident?
Almost every state uses some sort of comparative negligence standard. Comparative negligence laws help people involved in an injury case understand what to do when both parties share partial responsibility.
California uses the pure comparative negligence system to make determinations about liability. Each person who is at fault in an accident will be liable for a portion of the losses.
What is the statute of limitations for California injury cases?
Statutes of limitations specify the amount of time in which legal actions can be initiated. The California personal injury statute of limitations gives two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit for most injury claims.
If your personal injury suit is not started within that period, you will likely lose your right to pursue a legal remedy for your losses. However, there may be exceptions for certain circumstances and specific types of injury claims, such as medical malpractice claims.
When you speak to our skilled personal injury lawyers in Sacramento, we can help you determine the specific deadlines that apply to your case and develop a strategy to meet any time limits.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
We believe that access to quality legal representation is crucial for all injury victims to get the compensation they need to recover. That’s why our services are offered on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Fees are paid as a percentage of your overall compensation value, and you only pay if we win or settle your case.
Will I have to go to court to get compensated?
Only four to five percent of personal injury lawsuits end up going to trial, while 95 to 96 percent arrive at a settlement.
Lawsuits that go to court can be expensive and take much longer. In negotiation proceedings, you arrive at a settlement agreement rather than going to court to receive a verdict, generally granting you more control over the outcome.
What are the available damages in a California personal injury case?
When a person’s actions or a defective product cause injury, the responsible party can be made to pay economic damages to cover your costs and non-economic damages for losses that can’t be measured in a dollar amount.
