Fresno Auto Accident Lawsuits

Most people are familiar with the most common type of an auto accident lawsuit in Fresno, where a victim sues a negligent driver for injury and damages incurred as a result of a collision.  In reality, there are a number of variations on a standard automobile accident lawsuit in Fresno. 

If you have been involved in an auto accident, your case might involve one or more of these factors:

• Medical expense:  Incurring medical expenses immediately after an accident may be only a part of the expenses to be addressed in a car accident lawsuit in Fresno.  Other expenses include additional medical visits, the cost of physical therapy and medical devices, such as crutches, and even therapy for the traumatic effects of the accident.
• Long-term expenses:  Your Fresno automobile accident lawsuit may involve seeking compensation for long-term treatment and care—or even permanent assistance—if you have experienced a serious head, spinal, or brain injury.
• Loss of income:  A significant injury may keep you from working for an extended period of time.  A serious injury might result in your inability to continue working in your current profession or in any profession.  Your Fresno car accident lawsuit can help you obtain compensation for your loss of income.

There are also cases where another driver was not involved in an accident.  A single car can crash due to defects in the car, its parts, or even the road conditions.  Some examples include the following:

• Incorrectly-repaired brakes fail, causing a crash
• The steering on a newly-purchased car breaks down, forcing the car to veer off the road
• An accident occurs when an auto hits a sink hole on a poorly-maintained highway
