About The Arnold Law Firm

The Arnold Law Firm is dedicated to the aggressive representation of persons injured through the actions of others. The primary goal of the law firm is to ensure that victims of catastrophic and life-altering injuries are fully and fairly compensated for their losses. The law firm and its members take pride in providing each client with the individual attention needed to prevail and to maximize compensation due them.

The Arnold Law Firm was founded in 1975 by Clayeo C. Arnold. Mr. Arnold began his law firm with one secretary and a law clerk. Mr. Arnold soon discovered that he found satisfaction and fulfillment in the civil jury system and representing those who were injured. Consequently, in 1980, he began practicing solely personal injury law.

The Development of Our Law Firm

The Arnold Law Firm now consists of a team of attorneys and staff members who are devoted to their clients. In March 2009, the Arnold Law Firm office moved to a landmark building designed to handle the growth of the firm and facilitate increasing service and efficiency. The new location features Sacramento’s first fully operational private courtroom.

Through its involvement in such organizations as American Board of Trial Advocates, American Association for Justice, Association of Trial Lawyers of America, Consumer Attorneys of California, Capitol City Trial Lawyers Association, and National Brain Institute, the firm is active in supporting legislation to protect and advance the rights of injured persons.

In addition to working together, the Arnold Law Firm staff enjoys participating in community and charity events such as Walk For Thought, The Race For The Cure, and many other events.

Each of our lawyers aim to provide the highest quality legal representation to victims of accidents. Our goals are met through consistently updating our legal training for better preparation in representing our clients.

At the Arnold Law Firm, our clients come first. Our clients may be up against the insurance industry, large business, and government entities. We have a duty to protect the rights of victims and obtain justice.

Among the types of cases we handle are:

  • People injured in automobile, trucking, and construction equipment accidents caused by the negligence of others. Negligence may be that of private citizens, as well as organizations, such as governmental employers and manufacturers of products with design defects. This encompasses accidents involving a vast range of vehicles of all sizes and types.
  • People injured on construction sites and work sites.
  • People injured by defective products, such as in the Firestone tire litigation.
  • People injured through the use of unsafe drugs or medical devices, two other areas of increased public focus and scrutiny.
  • People whose family members died due to the fault or negligence of others.
  • People who were victims of employment law violations, such as those fired in violation of their employment contract or because of discrimination on the basis of race, color, age, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation or national origin.
  • Whistleblowers who are filing a claim on behalf of the government against anyone who knowingly submits or causes a fraudulent claim for payment to be submitted to the government.
  • Lawsuits filed on behalf of a group of people who were injured by the same defective product or corporate misconduct, this includes product liability cases, employment law claims over failure to pay overtime, and class actions filed on behalf of investors who were victims of corporate deception.

We will evaluate your case free of charge or obligation. We will not ask you to pay a retainer fee up front because we recognize that most people cannot afford to do so. We charge a fee if we are successful in recovering an award for you, and these fees are based on a contingency fee agreement, a percentage of any recovery we make for you.

To discuss your injuries and your case with us, call us at (916) 777-7777 today or fill out the online contact form for a free review.

Best Regards,
CLAYEO C. ARNOLD,
President of The ARNOLD LAW FIRM

Truck Accident

A 20-year-old man who had been married for just 12 days left home on his way to work. He was driving on Pleasant Grove Road in Sutter County in the early morning when he came upon a slow-moving truck. As he pulled out to pass the truck, the truck driver turned left in front of him. The young man attempted to steer back into his lane but his vehicle struck an un-flagged piece of metal extending from the back of the truck. He died in the resulting crash.

Expert witnesses brought in by the Arnold Law Firm proved that the truck, owned and operated by a hauling firm, should never have been on the highway that morning. Specifically, the rear and side turn signals did not work and the rear-view mirror was in a poor state of adjustment at the time of the collision. As a result, the driver, who had failed to properly inspect the vehicle before setting out that morning, couldn’t see the young man’s vehicle as it attempted to pass.

The poor condition of the truck, its lack of maintenance and the manner in which it was operated were found to be substantial factors in causing the collision that killed the young man. The testimony also established that the man had been making a lawful pass at the lawful speed limit and acted reasonably when he attempted to avoid the collision.

The man’s 20-year-old widow was awarded $3,767,000.77, his parents were awarded $185,131 and the family was reimbursed $11,899 in funeral expenses. Though money is a poor substitute for a young man’s life, this verdict demonstrates that drivers who endanger the lives of others will be held accountable for their actions.
