Call us today at (818) 877-4878 and schedule you free case evaluation or visit us at 2020 Eye Street, where our Bakersfield office is located.
When you get hurt in a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence you expect to be treated like a victim and to recover all you losses. Ideally, insurance would cover all of your medical expenses, lost wages, and the impact the accident has had on your life.
But in reality, things work differently: insurance companies have one interest in mind, and that is trying to minimize what they pay. They will often make low-ball settlement offers hoping you will take them without consulting a lawyer which often happens when victims don’t know their rights.
At Bojat Law Group, we believe you deserve more. You need someone on your side who understands how to challenge the insurer’s tactics and who will fight to make sure you receive full and fair compensation. It is not just about handling paperwork; it is about fighting for justice and financial recovery that matches your suffering.
Our experienced car accident attorneys in Bakersfield know how to:
- Investigate the facts of your accident to establish key evidence in your case.
- Work with leading experts to determine the full extent of your injury and what you will need in the future.
- Take care of all legal details from filings to deadlines.
- Handle communications directly with the insurance company to negotiate the best possible outcome.
- If the insurance company refuses to provide a fair settlement, take your case to trial.
At the Bojat Law Group we’re not just your attorneys, but your partners in the fight for what’s right. Never take less than you deserve. We fight the battle; you recover.

Frequently Asked Questions
After making sure everyone is safe and calling 911, take pictures of the scene of the accident, share information with the other drivers, and call a car accident attorney as soon as possible.

Fault in a car accident is determined through the evaluation of evidence like police reports, witness statements, and traffic camera footage, along with expert testimony. A qualified car accident lawyer will be able to fully investigate your case to determine liability and ensure that you are not blamed for an accident that was never your fault.
The time it takes to settle a car accident claim in Bakersfield varies widely, depending on several key factors. A straightforward case might resolve in 3 to 6 months, while complex or disputed cases can take a year or more. Here’s what affects the timeline:
Factors that speed up settlement:
Minor injuries with clear liability
Full cooperation from medical providers
Ample evidence: photos, eyewitnesses, police report, video
Insurer is reasonable and willing to negotiate
Factors that slow it down:
Disputes over fault or comparative negligence
Soft-tissue or delayed-onset injuries requiring long-term treatment
Multiple at-fault parties or cross-claims
Uninsured/underinsured motorists or hit-and-run situations
Litigation becomes necessary (filing suit, responses, motions)
Your attorney will aim to push the claim along by setting demand deadlines, filing suit when needed, and pressuring insurers. But ultimately, your health, evidence timeline, and insurer tactics all play roles.
An experienced car accident attorney uses a mix of evidence gathering, legal procedure, and expert input to prove distraction or impairment and strengthen your claim:
Accident scene reconstruction — Your lawyer can work with crash reconstruction specialists to analyze skid marks, vehicle damage, and camera footage to show delayed braking or erratic driving patterns common with texting, cell phone use, or impairment.
Phone and data subpoenas — Attorneys can formally request the other driver’s phone records, social media activity, and in-car infotainment logs to determine if they were texting, calling, or streaming while driving.
Toxicology and impairment testing — If alcohol or drugs are suspected, your lawyer can secure police toxicology results or, if needed, push for independent testing data to confirm impairment at the time of the crash.
Witness and video evidence — Eyewitness statements, nearby surveillance cameras, dashcams, and traffic cams can be obtained and preserved early to document distracted behavior or signs of intoxication.
Law enforcement reports — Attorneys know how to review and challenge accident and arrest reports for inconsistencies and use them strategically when negotiating or litigating.
By combining these tools, a car accident attorney builds a fact-driven narrative showing the other driver’s unsafe conduct — which is critical when proving negligence and maximizing compensation.
