30 personal injury attorneys are listed in Fresno. Cases are filed in the Fresno County Superior Court, with federal matters in the Fresno Division of the Eastern District of California.
The Central Valley case mix is distinctive: highway collisions on State Route 99 and Interstate 5, commercial trucking, farm equipment and agricultural workplace injuries appear far more often here than in coastal cities. Several of those claims lie against a third party — a contractor, a labour contractor or an equipment maker — rather than an employer.
California's pure comparative negligence rule reduces an award by the claimant's share of fault rather than barring it. Ask how the firm handles cases where a workers' compensation claim runs in parallel.
Lawyers listed in Fresno also cover Criminal Law (39), DUI & DWI (23) and Family Law (21). The same practice elsewhere in California: Los Angeles (54), Sacramento (41) and San Francisco (35).
