We are available 24/7 and can meet by video or in McFarland by appointment.
McFarland sits where Kern County's deadliest crash patterns converge on SR-99
McFarland is a small city right on the SR-99 freight spine. Local errands, school drop-offs, and farm traffic move on the same lanes as produce haulers, delivery fleets, and long-haul rigs. That mix means a routine fender-bender between two cars can still send people to the hospital while any collision between a passenger vehicle and a truck is far more likely to be catastrophic for the smaller vehicle’s occupants.
Countywide numbers show the pressure on this corridor. In 2022, 5,561 people were killed or injured in Kern County traffic crashes. Speed-related wrecks accounted for 864 victims, and nighttime collisions added 640 more . Hit-and-run crashes were a particular problem at 495 victims. Vulnerable road users were not spared: 291 pedestrian victims and 124 bicyclist victims. Alcohol continues to be a driver in serious crashes, with 788 alcohol-involved victims and 2,837 DUI arrests recorded.
On and around SR-99, everyday trips overlap with high-mileage freight and agricultural movement. When congestion spikes or visibility drops, the consequences escalate quickly. The data points help quantify the risk. Driving defensively, documenting near-misses and collisions, and getting prompt medical evaluation after any impact are practical steps that make a real difference on this stretch of Kern County.
I was hurt in a motor vehicle accident in McFarland and insurance company is denying my personal injury claim. What now?
A denial isn’t the end of your case it’s the start of a fight for what you’re owed. Insurance companies often reject legitimate claims hoping you’ll give up or settle for less. They use phrases like “no liability,” “late reporting,” or “pre-existing condition” to avoid paying, even when the facts show otherwise.
A denial isn’t final. You have the right to challenge it. The key is to act fast:
- request the denial in writing
- review the cited policy reasons
- gather medical and accident documentation that supports your claim.
Our McFarland personal injury lawyer can help identify where the insurer is wrong, build the proof they ignored, and reopen negotiations for the full amount you’re owed.
If your claim was denied, don’t give up. Call (818) 877-4878 for a free consultation. Bojat Law Group can step in, handle the insurer directly, and fight to get your claim back on track.
Injuries from slip and falls or negligent security fall under premises liability and demand skilled personal injury litigation attorneys
Owners and managers must fix hazards they know about or should know about. When they do not, people get hurt. We handle premises liability claims involving slip and falls and trip and fall accidents in stores and parking lots, negligent security and inadequate security at apartments and venues, and dangerous design or maintenance across commercial properties.
How we prove premises liability
- Preserve incident reports and store video before routine deletion
- Collect maintenance logs and prior complaints to show notice
- Document the exact condition that caused the fall or assault
- Map medical findings to the event with clear timelines and treating physician support
Strong files settle. Weak files stall. Our personal injury litigation team builds the kind of record that moves adjusters and juries.
A loved one died in a wrongful death accident in McFarland. What compensation can our family recover?
When a wrongful death occurs in McFarland, California law lets your family seek two kinds of recovery that cover different losses. Through a wrongful death claim, the family can recover funeral and burial expenses, the financial support your loved one would have provided over the years, the value of employment benefits and the day to day services they handled at home, and the non-economic harm to the family such as the loss of love, companionship, guidance, and protection. These are proven with real records and testimony: tax returns and pay stubs to show likely earnings, benefit statements, calendars and receipts that reflect childcare, driving, cooking, or other household work, and detailed accounts of how the loss changed family life.
A companion survival action belongs to the estate and addresses what happened between the injury and the date of death. It can include medical bills tied to the final injury, lost income during that period, property damage from the incident, and in some cases compensation for the decedent’s pain and suffering before passing, depending on timing and the facts. As for who may bring the claims, the first line is the surviving spouse or registered domestic partner and the children; if there are none, other heirs who would inherit by law may qualify, and certain dependents such as a putative spouse, stepchildren, or parents who relied on the decedent can also have standing. These claims are usually brought together so that all eligible family members are included and the full measure of loss is presented.
