Every rule River City Report describes can be traced to the law or the agency that sets it, and we link that source in the sentence.
Where facts come from
Time limits come from the Code of Civil Procedure, public-agency claims from the Government Code, reporting and insurance duties from the Vehicle Code, and damages rules from the Civil Code. Report requests come from the Sacramento Police Department and the California Highway Patrol. Trauma center levels come from Sacramento County Emergency Medical Services, and court information from the Sacramento Superior Court.
How we write
Short sentences, one action at a time. Numbers are written where they matter, such as six months, two years and ten days. Worked examples are marked as examples. We never publish case results, settlement amounts, ratings or estimates of what a claim might be worth. The pages are not reviewed by a lawyer or named expert, and we do not claim they are.
Keeping it current
When a fee, a form or a law changes, we revise the page and its date. If a correction changes what a reader should do, a note on the page says so. Report errors to corrections@carcrashlawyersacramento.com.
