Zappettini Paul R

I can not say enough good things about this attorney & the firm. I’ve used them 2x. Very professional & efficient.

I was hit head on by a hit and run driver going the wrong way on 16^th street in Sacramento. I saw him coming when he turned, and I honked to let him know «hey, wrong way!» but he sped up and totaled my car. I was pretty banged up, but no broken bones, just soft tissue damage and a good whiplash.
I talked to my chiropractor about getting representation because I was not really satisfied with my service through my insurance, USAA. For starters, USAA does not pay for massage therapy in California, which I needed for my back in conjunction with my chiropractic care. I also was seen my my doctors and the ER. In any case, I had relatively minor injuries, but I was really irritated about the fact that even though I had no fault and uninsured motorist and was insured to the hilt, my insurance was being ridiculous. In fact, they didn’t deal with me at all once I sought representation.
Mr. Zappettinni and his law group were very professional, very easy to deal with, and still send me Xmas cards. The Monday after my accident, he met me at my work and later he sent me the information on my case. The police had staked out my H&R and found him, and they could proceed with my case by going after the other insurance (minimal.) I received compensation for my days lost to the injury (I would have taken a LOT more time off, but it was right before a 3 day weekend, so I was able to rest. No, you don’t get damages for having a crummy weekend. But you should!) In any case, I got fairly compensated at more than what my insurance was willing to settle with me for, and that’s after paying my legal fees and medical fees and reimbursements for car seats and whatnot. They took care of all of that for me, and my check was the difference for wages lost. I wish there was compensation for causing me ridiculous amounts of anger, but no.
I still use USAA because changing would be a very high cost to me, but now I know their system. I’d also still get a lawyer, and would hire Mr. Zappettini for this and other issues.
