Fresno, California Personal Injury Lawyer Resources

Fresno sits in the middle of Highway 99 and the broader Central Valley freight corridor, and that geography shows up in our caseload: big-rig crashes, farm-equipment collisions on rural county roads, high-speed rear-end wrecks, and agricultural worksite injuries. California's pure comparative fault rule applies in Fresno just as it does in Los Angeles or San Francisco. An injured person can recover even if they are partly at fault, with damages reduced by their percentage of blame. That single rule is one of the most plaintiff-friendly in the country, and it drives how Central Valley insurers value a case.

California generally applies a two-year statute of limitations to personal injury claims, with shorter windows for government tort claims and different rules for medical malpractice and wrongful death. In Fresno, many of the most valuable cases involve public entities (the City of Fresno, Fresno County, Caltrans, or a local transit district), and those claims require a formal notice filed long before a traditional lawsuit would be contemplated. Missing that deadline has ended more Central Valley cases than I care to count.

Goldberg & Loren handles Fresno injury cases across the full range of practice areas: auto and truck collisions, motorcycle wrecks, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, premises liability, dog bites, and wrongful death. George Goldberg founded the firm after starting his career defending airlines and insurers in 1994 and switching to the plaintiff side in 1996. In Fresno, where trucking companies, agricultural operators, and large carriers are represented by experienced defense firms, that background is directly useful. We know the arguments the other side is going to make because we used to make them.
