Personal injury case review for Sierra County
If you were hurt in an accident in Sierra County within the last 30 days and someone else was at fault, the free case review takes about two minutes and tells you whether you meet Nozar Law's current criteria. It covers Loyalton, Downieville, and Sierra City and the unincorporated areas around them.
About two minutes. No cost and no obligation.
What kind of accident were you in?
Sierra County is one of the least populous counties in California, with Downieville as the county seat and Loyalton as its only incorporated city. Highway 49 and Highway 89 are its main routes through the northern Sierra Nevada. The review covers crashes on Highway 49 and Highway 89 as well as on local streets in Downieville, the county seat; where in Sierra County the accident happened does not change the questions it asks.
In a mountain county like Sierra, the nearest emergency room can be a long drive; a clinic in Downieville, a regional hospital, or a telehealth visit all satisfy the criteria, which look for treatment within 14 days of the accident.
What happens after you check
Answer a few quick questions
The free case review asks what happened, how to reach you, when it happened, and whether you were treated. Nothing else.
Confirm your number
We text a short code to confirm it is really you. This is also how the firm records that you agreed to be contacted.
A short follow-up call
If your answers meet the criteria, a member of the Nozar Law intake team calls to confirm details and explain possible next steps. Whether to move forward is entirely your decision.
Questions people ask
Does the accident have to be in Sierra County?
No. This page is written for people in Sierra County, but the review covers accidents anywhere in California; the ZIP code question only confirms you are in the state.
Where would a case from Sierra County be heard?
Civil cases that arise in Sierra County are generally filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Sierra, which sits in Downieville, though where a particular claim belongs depends on the facts. The review does not ask about it.
I was hurt on Highway 49 in Sierra County. Does it matter which agency wrote the report?
No. A CHP report from Highway 49 and a report from a city police department or the Sierra County Sheriff work the same way for the intake team; the review asks only whether a report was filed.
The nearest hospital to me in Sierra County is a long drive. Does that affect eligibility?
No. The criteria look for treatment within 14 days of an accident in Sierra County, or a plan to get it, not for treatment at a particular place; a clinic in Downieville, a regional hospital, or a telehealth visit all count.
