Car Accidents

Fresno is a large city, which means there are more cars on the road. Unfortunately, this also means that there are more accidents. California ranked second for the highest number of fatal automobile accidents in 2022, with 3,259 fatal crashes.

After an auto accident, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. The Fresno personal injury lawyers at Farahi Law Firm have the experience and knowledge to help you get the compensation you deserve.

Slip and Fall Accidents

A slip and fall accident can happen anywhere, at any time. You could be walking in a parking lot, on a sidewalk, or in a store when you slip and fall.

Most people associate broken bones when they think of slip and fall accidents. But the reality is that you can sustain other injuries that may be serious or even life-threatening. If the fall was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be able to file a personal injury claim.

Pedestrian Accidents

There are many reasons why pedestrians are prone to injuries. They are less visible than passenger vehicles on the road. Pedestrians are also more vulnerable to serious, life-altering injuries because they do not have the protection that a car or truck offers.

If you or a loved one were the victims of a pedestrian accident, you may be eligible to file a claim and recover compensation for your injuries and damages. In order to file a successful claim, it is in your best interest to have an experienced lawyer by your side.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle crashes are some of the most serious accidents on the road. Motorcyclists are more vulnerable than other drivers because of their limited protection. As a result, motorcycle accidents can result in catastrophic injuries or even death. 

If you are a Fresno motorcyclist who has been injured in an accident, it is important to seek legal counsel as soon as possible. At Farahi Law Firm, our motorcycle accident lawyers have extensive experience representing Fresno motorcycle accident victims.

We will promptly investigate your case and build a strong claim on your behalf. We will also negotiate with the insurance company to get you the best possible personal injury settlement.

Bicycle Accidents

Biking has been a popular mode of transport for many years, it is also a preferred mode of transport for some due to its eco-friendliness and cost effectiveness. It is also a favored hobby for those young and old. 

However, bicycle accidents are a common occurrence in California. The National Security Council (NSC) reports that in 2020 there were 325,173 preventable nonfatal bicycle injuries. Bicycle accidents may result in a number of injuries and damages. Hiring a bicycle accident lawyer to handle your claim is the best course of action in order to ensure you recover the maximum compensation possible.

Back Injuries

Depending on the manner of the injury and the circumstances of the accident, different kinds of back injuries may manifest. These injuries may include disc herniation, spinal fractures, degenerative spinal disorders, and more. 

As a consequence of such injuries, individuals may experience intense physical pain, necessitating physical therapy and incurring substantial medical expenses. Furthermore, these injuries can lead to a loss of income. In the event of an accident, it is crucial to hold the at-fault party responsible for the damages and injuries sustained.

Brain Injuries

According to the Mayo Clinic, a brain injury, also known as a traumatic brain injury, occurs when an individual experiences a forceful blow or jolt to their head or body. The symptoms of such injuries can vary in severity, ranging from mild to severe. Mild injuries may lead to symptoms like nausea, headaches, and issues with memory or concentration. On the other hand, more severe injuries can result in debilitating symptoms such as loss of consciousness, seizures, slurred speech, or abnormal behavior.

Personal injury claims of this nature can be difficult to handle alone. Therefore, it is crucial to hire a Fresno personal injury attorney to ensure a successful claim. 

Drunk Driving Accidents

As per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), around 31% of fatal car accidents involve drivers who are under the influence of alcohol. The report further reveals that over 11,000 motorists lost their lives in drunk driving accidents. It is a widely recognized fact that driving while intoxicated poses significant dangers, making it possible to prevent all accidents caused by drunk drivers. This reckless behavior not only violates the law but also poses serious harm to all parties involved in the incident.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents are some of the most serious accidents on the road. Trucks are much larger and heavier than other vehicles, which makes them more dangerous. They are also more likely to be carrying hazardous materials.

As a Fresno truck accident victim, you may be facing serious injuries. Some of the most common injuries that occur in Fresno truck accidents are traumatic brain injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones.

You may be facing a long road to recovery. This can be emotionally and financially devastating. If the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be able to file a personal injury claim.

Dog Bites

Fresno is a dog-friendly city. But that doesn’t mean that Fresno dog owners are always responsible. In fact, Fresno has one of the highest rates of dog bites in the state.

If you’ve sustained bite injuries due to a dog attack, you may be facing serious injuries. Dog bites can cause infections, scars, and emotional trauma.

Child Injury

Children are especially vulnerable to sustaining injuries in accidents. Some of the common child injuries are traumatic brain injuries, broken bones and concussions. Fresno pediatric emergency rooms are also extremely busy due to many pedestrian accidents and slip and fall cases. Parents should always be thinking about safety when they take their children outside. It is especially important to prepare your children for Fresno’s busy streets, especially as they get older and start walking or riding their bikes to school.

Wrongful Death

If your loved one has died due to the negligence of another party, you may have the right to file a wrongful death claim. Wrongful death claims can help you seek justice and fair compensation for your loved one’s losses. Fresno wrongful death lawyers at Farahi Law Firm have years of experience handling wrongful death cases. They will thoroughly investigate your case and work tirelessly to secure the rightful compensation and justice you deserve.

Injuries from Defective Drugs 

Despite an FDA approval, not all medication is without defects. Some of these defects may lead to serious, life-altering injuries. 

If you’ve been injured by a defective drug or medical device, you may be entitled to compensation. The experienced attorneys at Farahi Law Firm have successfully represented defective drugs victims in these cases. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Fresno residents are constantly exposed to dangerous products. Fresno defective product injuries can occur in the workplace or even at home. Fresno defective product lawyers at Farahi Law Firm will review your case and help you determine if you have a claim.

Uber and Lyft Accidents

While motor vehicle accidents involving rideshare services like Uber or Lyft share similarities with regular car accidents, they tend to be more intricate due to the involvement of multiple factors and parties. Consequently, seeking the assistance of a seasoned attorney becomes crucial in such cases. These well-established companies may use their insurance providers to diminish the value of your claim, and you might be coerced into accepting an unfair settlement offer.

To protect your interests as a victim of this specific type of accident, it is advisable to get in touch with a knowledgeable Fresno personal injury lawyer who can guide you through the appropriate course of action.

Claim Compensation For Your Injuries and Damages

The cost of economic and non-economic damages in a personal injury claim can vary greatly depending on the severity of the injury. Compensatory damages are paid to claimants who have suffered physical, emotional, or mental pain. This also applies to loss of expenses related to their injuries, such as medical expenses (doctor bills and medication).

• Lost wages – These monetary damages are typically for financial losses, such as lost income owing to the injury victim’s missing work days due to the accidents.
• Medical Bills – These are calculated based on the medical treatment received, and for any anticipated future medical care as projected by doctors.
• Pain and Suffering – Pain and suffering are compensated on the grounds of actual pain and damage to the enjoyment of life and interests of the affected person arising from the injury. These types of damages could include emotional distress, loss of enjoyment, loss of consortium, and many others.

The state of California adheres to the comparative negligence rule, which equates liability with the degree of blame in cases where there has been a personal injury. This means that if you were found partly responsible for your injuries, you will still get some compensation but less than if the responsible party were fully at-fault for the accident.
