Fresno has a great deal to offer to residents and tourists alike. Still, the high population and traffic often lead to motor vehicle accidents, falls, and other types of personal injury claims.
At J&Y Law, we understand that injuries can profoundly affect your life. If you’ve been injured due to somebody else’s negligence and need a Fresno personal injury lawyer, our team of experienced attorneys is here to help.
We are dedicated to advocating for your rights and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. We’ve recovered tens of millions of dollars for our clients, so don’t let insurance companies bully you into accepting a small settlement.
Why Hire a Fresno Personal Injury Attorney?
At J&Y Law, we’re passionate about providing top-notch legal representation to people whose injuries were caused by another party’s negligence because we’ve been where you are.
Our firm’s founders have been victims and have gone through the legal process, so we empathize with the pain, stress, and frustration our clients experience as they recover following a life-changing, preventable accident. That understanding helps fuel our passion for justice, which you won’t get from other law firms.
Here are ways we help personal injury victims, some of whom have left us video reviews after we secured the compensation they were entitled to.
Help You Get Medical Care–Even if You Aren’t Insured
We know a variety of medical facilities that will work on a lien basis and wait for payment until your case is settled. This allows you to get all the medical care you need now without having anybody hassle you to pay the bills when you may be missing work due to your injuries.
Not only does prompt and thorough healthcare give you the best chances of healing from your injuries, but the medical records help provide evidence for your injuries as well as the pain and suffering you endured while they healed.
If you’re hesitant to seek medical care because you lack health insurance, let us refer you to the doctors we know who work on a lien basis.
Negotiate With Insurance Companies
Let us take the stressful experience of trying to negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company off your plate while you focus on recovering.
Not only should you not have to worry about the hassle of negotiating with insurance adjusters, but they tend to take lawyers more seriously than the general public.
Having us negotiate on your behalf actually makes it easier for you to get a fair settlement without us having to take your case to trial.
Gather and Preserve Evidence
We work with investigators who can search for surveillance videos or traffic camera footage of your accident. We’ll also find and talk to eyewitnesses, get your police report, collect your medical bills, and gather any other evidence we can get our hands on to present the strongest case for you to get maximum compensation.
Get You Maximum Compensation—Even if That Means Going to Trial
While many personal injury lawsuits settle out of court, we aren’t afraid to go to trial if that’s what it takes to get you fair compensation. Our experienced attorneys can put together a strong case to convince a jury that you deserve every bit of money you’re asking for.

What Is Comparative Fault?
In California, Cal. Civ. Code § 1431.2 states that multiple parties may share fault in personal injury cases. Here are a couple of examples of what that may look like:
- Bob was driving drunk and crashed into Susan, who ran a red light. Bob showed gross negligence by deciding to drink and drive, but Susan is also partially at fault since she ran the red light.
- As a prank, some teens hid and stayed in a store after it closed. While goofing around, one of them tripped over a loose floor tile and broke their arm when they fell. While the property owner is responsible for the loose tile, the teens shouldn’t have been trespassing, so they share some of the fault.
- Joe forgot to check his blind spot and sideswiped Alice, who was speeding, so they’re both partially at fault for the wreck.
If you’re partially responsible for the accident you were injured in, you may still be eligible for compensation; your percentage of the blame will just reduce the amount. Contact an experienced injury lawyer for a free consultation to find out how much financial compensation you might get.
How Much Compensation Could You Get for Your Personal Injury Claim?
People have many different reasons for suing another driver after a car crash in California. Still, dreams of becoming an instant millionaire after experiencing minor injuries shouldn’t be one of those reasons.
If your injuries were minor and you returned to work fairly quickly after the accident, it might not even be worth it to hire a lawyer. On the other hand, if you suffered catastrophic injuries and are now permanently disabled and unable to work, you may be entitled to a large settlement.
In a free, no-obligation consultation, our experienced attorneys will let you know how much your personal injury claim may be worth.
What Types of Damages Will I Get?
Depending on the circumstances surrounding your case, you may be eligible for a wide range of different types of economic and non-economic damages, including money for:
- Medical bills for your hospital stay, surgeries, physical therapy, and any ongoing care you will continue to need
- Lost wages
- Reduced future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of consortium
- Lost enjoyment of life
- Property damage
- Certain other out-of-pocket expenses
- Punitive damages (only if a judge decides somebody acted in an especially egregious manner and needs to be punished)
How Long do I Have to Sue Somebody?
While California’s deadlines to sue someone vary depending on the reason, you only have a two–year statute of limitations for a personal injury case. You shouldn’t wait until right before the deadline to contact a personal injury lawyer, though.
Not only do you probably want to get your money sooner than later, but your legal team also needs time to get your case ready, and waiting until too close to the deadline limits us in what we’re able to do for you.
The sooner you contact us, the better. However, we might encourage you not to accept a settlement until your injuries have healed as well as they’re going to since we can’t go back and ask for more money after you accept a settlement.
