Fresno Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Every day in Fresno starts differently. For some, the morning begins with slow traffic on Highway 99, for others it is a rush through the crowds on Blackstone Avenue. But for more than 150 families a year, an ordinary day turns into a struggle for justice after an unexpected accident.
We see that battle firsthand. We saw the tears of a mother who can no longer work after being hit by an uninsured driver outside the Save Mart Center. We were holding the hand of a grandfather who had lost the ability to walk his grandson through Christmas Tree Lane after being hit by a troubled teenager. We were there for a nurse from the Community Regional Medical Center when a drunk driver took away the opportunity to return to her life’s mission of helping others.
Bojat Law Group makes insurers respect your story and pay what it takes to rebuild. While big law firms see the numbers, we see Kerman’s neighbor who can no longer feed his family. While others see statistics, we see a teacher from the Central Unified School District who lost her job. While insurance companies offer quick settlements, we see real lives that deserve more than a quick settlement.
