El Dorado Hit and Run Accident Lawyer
Why El Dorado Hit and Run Accident Victims Choose DePaoli Law Team
A Gold Country community south of Placerville on Highway 49 — along Highway 49 and through Highway 49, Pleasant Valley Road, Bucks Bar Road — sees serious hit and run accident activity, and the local roads and traffic patterns shape how these cases unfold. When a crash happens, insurance companies move fast, dispatching adjusters to record your statement before you understand the full scope of your injuries or what your claim is worth.
Attorney Kelsey DePaoli is a trial attorney with a $3.85M+ record who serves El Dorado clients from her Folsom office, ~32 miles away. Her team includes Travis Black, a former insurance adjuster who knows every tactic insurers use — an insider combination that settle-fast firms cannot match. Serious hit and run accident injuries are treated at facilities like Marshall Medical Center, and we build your case around your full medical picture.
