How Negligence Turns Into a Personal Injury Claim?
Negligence becomes a personal injury claim the moment someone’s failure to act with reasonable care causes you real harm, whether it’s a driver checking their phone, a property owner ignoring a broken stair, or a trucking company that skips its required inspections.
Why Choose Bojat Law Group for Your Personal Injury Case?
The lawyer you hire after an injury decides how hard the insurance company has to work and how much of your settlement you actually keep. For over a decade, Bojat Law Group has taken that responsibility personally, treating each Bakersfield client with the attention and drive their case deserves. Here’s what sets our team apart when it comes to fighting for the compensation you’re owed.
- At Bojat Law Group, injured clients work directly with our experienced personal injury attorneys who know Kern County courts and the insurers who operate here. We keep our caseload deliberate, so your file gets real attention rather than sitting in a stack. You always know where your claim stands and what comes next, which takes the guesswork out of a process that feels overwhelming from the inside.
- Our track record comes from preparation. We treat every file as if it’s heading to trial, which means when we sit down with the insurance company, they know the demand is backed by evidence rather than bluff. That readiness is often what separates a lowball offer from a fair settlement, and it’s why insurers take our clients seriously.
- We press every personal injury matter toward the maximum compensation the facts support, and we bring the resources to back it up. Over years of working in Bakersfield, we’ve built relationships with the area’s best doctors, surgeons, and physical therapists, so our clients get the medical attention they actually need, often without paying out of pocket while the case is pending. That care strengthens both your recovery and your claim.
- You reach a real person when you call, not a voicemail loop. Your attorney stays available to answer questions, explain your options, and walk you through each step, so you’re never left wondering what’s happening with your case.

(818) 877-4878What Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle?
Our Bakersfield personal injury attorneys handle the full range of cases that come from someone else’s negligence, and we bring the same preparation to each one.
→ Car accidents. From a fender-bender on Rosedale Highway to a highway pileup or an Uber crash across town, we reconstruct how the collision happened and prove which driver is at fault.
→ Truck accidents. Big-rig cases involve trucking companies and their insurers fighting hard from day one, so we move fast to secure the driver’s logs, the maintenance records, and the black-box data before they disappear.
→ Bus accidents. When a public transit agency or private carrier injures a passenger or pedestrian, we handle the extra filing rules and shortened deadlines these claims carry.
→ Fall accidents. A property owner who ignores a wet floor, a broken stair, or poor lighting is liable when you get hurt, and we gather the evidence that proves it.
→ Workplace accidents. Beyond a standard workers’ comp claim, we look for a negligent third party whose fault opens the door to full and fair compensation for your injury.
→ Wrongful death. When negligence takes a life, we help family members pursue a wrongful death claim for their loss, their financial future, and a measure of justice.
The cases above are among the most common we handle, but yours can still qualify even if it isn’t listed here. Call our attorneys at (818) 877-4878 and find out whether you’re eligible to file a personal injury claim in a free initial consultation.
How Much Is Your Personal Injury Case Worth?
No two cases carry the same value, so any lawyer who quotes a figure before reviewing the facts is guessing. Because California uses a pure comparative negligence rule, you can still recover even when you’re partly to blame, though your award is reduced by your share of fault. What your claim is worth depends on:
- the severity of your injury,
- the treatment ahead of you,
- the wages you’ve lost,
- and how clearly we can prove liability against the at-fault party.
We start by adding up your economic losses: medical bills, the cost of future care, lost income, and damaged property. Then come the non-economic damages, the pain, the limits on daily life, and the toll a serious injury takes on you and those around you. To put a real number on all of it, we pull your complete medical records and bring in medical experts who can project what your recovery will actually cost over time.
The strength of your evidence drives the outcome, which is why we gather it early and build each file toward trial. When the insurance company sees that our trial attorneys are ready to take legal action, weak offers tend to climb toward what your case is actually worth.
You work with us on a contingency fee basis, so there are no upfront costs and no fee unless we win. That arrangement lets injury victims across Bakersfield, CA, get high-quality legal representation without financial risk. Talk to our attorneys today and get an honest read on what your claim is worth.
Personal Injury FAQs
How long does it take to settle a personal injury case?
It depends on your injuries and how hard the insurer fights. A clear-cut claim can settle in a few months, while serious cases often take a year or more, because we wait until you reach maximum medical improvement, the point where doctors can project your future care. Settling sooner risks a number that won’t cover the treatment still ahead of you. If we have to file suit, that adds time but often pushes the insurer toward a fair offer. We move as quickly as the facts allow, without sacrificing the full value of your claim.
Should I give a statement to the other party's insurance company?
No, not before speaking with a lawyer. The other driver’s insurer may sound friendly, but the adjuster’s job is to reduce what the company pays, and a recorded statement gives them material to do it. An offhand “I’m feeling okay” can be used to argue your injuries are minor, and an apology at the scene can be twisted into an admission of fault. You are not required to give them a statement. Let us handle that communication, so nothing you say early on is used to shrink your claim later.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in California?
In most cases, two years from the date of the injury, under California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Once that deadline passes, the court can dismiss your case no matter how strong it is. Some situations change the clock: claims against a government entity, such as a city or public transit agency, generally require an administrative claim within six months. The window can also shift if the injury wasn’t discovered right away or the injured person is a minor. Because these deadlines move fast, it’s worth confirming yours with an attorney early.
How do I choose the right lawyer for my case?
Ask who will handle your file, how you will receive updates, and whether the attorney has experience with the issues your case presents. A disputed commercial vehicle collision may require different evidence and resources from a straightforward rear-end crash.
A firm’s track record and client testimonials can help you evaluate it, but ask questions beyond the results. You should understand the fee agreement, feel comfortable raising concerns, and receive clear answers about both the strengths and the difficulties of your case.
