Two roads in Bakersfield, Highways 46 and 65, and considered to be some of the most dangerous two-lane highways in the nation.
Advocates for Serious Injury Victims
For two decades, California personal injury lawyers at Estey Bomberger have helped personal injury victims protect their rights following a serious injury or loved one’s wrongful death. Attorneys at our AV-rated law firm understand the tactics insurance companies and defense counsel use to undervalue claims and reduce compensation. Our goal in every case is to maximize compensation. If we cannot obtain a fair settlement, we will not hesitate to bring a claim to trial. Our case results include a $30 million negligent supervision verdict, a $14 million brain injury settlement, and a $6 million drunk driving accident.
Obtaining Compensation For Accident Injuries
Auto accidents, such as car accidents in Bakersfield, cause serious injury every day, including broken bone injuries, burn injuries, amputation and dismemberment injuries, traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. Many accidents, such as head-on collisions, SUV rollovers, and drunk driving accidents result in fatalities. When negligent drivers cause accidents, they may be liable for victims injuries, including past and future medical expenses, including ambulance transportation, hospitalization, surgeries, doctor visits, physical therapy and other rehabilitation, medications, as well as lost earnings and pain and suffering.
Fighting to Protect Your Rights
We understand the steps that must be taken to ensure our clients receive maximum compensation for their claim. Every case we handle starts with a thorough investigation. We make sure all evidence is preserved, including photographs, and arrange to have the damaged car, truck, motorcycle or bicycle stored for later review by an investigator. Our law firm works with some of the best accident reconstructionists and investigators in the country, who will look at all aspects of the accident. If drug or alcohol use is suspected, we will work with a toxicologist. If the accident involved a commercial truck, we may hire a traffic safety expert. We use the best available resources to ensure our clients receive maximum compensation.
