Practice Areas
We Handle All Personal Injury Cases in Fresno, California
The Fresno personal injury lawyers with M&Y Personal Injury Lawyers have seen it all when it comes to personal injury cases. After all, our attorneys have over a century of combined experience. Some of the practice areas we have experience in are:
Car Accidents
Fresno's busy roads — including SR-99, SR-41, and SR-180 — see significant traffic and accidents. If you've been hurt in a car crash in Fresno, our attorneys help you recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering from the at-fault party.
Wrongful Death
The wrongful death of a loved one is devastating. While no claim can bring back your family member, it can provide financial recovery for funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship. Our team handles these sensitive cases with care.
Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries can permanently change a person's life, requiring long-term medical care and rehabilitation. Our Fresno brain injury lawyers work with medical experts to fully document the impact and pursue maximum compensation.
Motorcycle Accidents
California is one of the best places to ride a motorcycle, and Fresno sees its share of motorcycle accidents. Insurance companies often try to blame the rider unfairly. Our attorneys fight to ensure motorcyclists receive fair compensation for their injuries.
Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries result in long-term or permanent disability and require lifelong care. These cases demand aggressive representation to secure full compensation for medical costs, lost earning capacity, and quality of life impacts.
Truck Accidents
Commercial truck accidents on Fresno's highways and Hwy 99 corridor can cause devastating injuries. These cases often involve multiple parties — the trucking company, driver, manufacturer — and require detailed investigation. Our truck accident attorneys handle the complexity.
Product Liability
When defective products cause injury, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held liable. Our Fresno product liability attorneys handle cases involving dangerous consumer goods, defective vehicles, faulty medical devices, and more.
Slip & Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents in Fresno can occur anywhere — retail centers, restaurants, hotels, office buildings. California premises liability law requires property owners to keep their premises reasonably safe. We fight for compensation when they don't.

Case Value
How Much Is My Fresno Personal Injury Case Worth?
Because every personal injury case involves different facts and circumstances, it is difficult to assign a value to your case without hearing the details. However, some factors that tend to influence how much a case is worth include:
- How much evidence there is to support your case
- Whether you share any blame for the accident
- The type and severity of your injuries
- Whether you suffered any emotional and mental distress
- The terms of your and the other party’s insurance policy
Feel free to reach out to us today to discuss your case. We offer a free initial consultation and can provide you with a more personalized answer to your case’s value at that time.
Compensation
What Damages Can I Recover After My Accident in Fresno?
There are three categories of damages that you can recover after a Fresno accident: economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages.
Economic damages help you recover from the financial losses you’ve incurred due to your injury. Examples are things like medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses.
Economic Damages
- Lost wages
- Decreased earning capacity
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Rehabilitation
- Medical bills
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Decreased enjoyment of life
- Anxiety, PTSD, depression
- Emotional distress
- Loss of consortium
Non-economic damages, also known as “pain and suffering” damages, are meant to compensate you for the consequences of your injury that are more difficult to quantify. Some examples are emotional distress, loss of consortium, and loss of enjoyment in life.
Punitive damages are usually not awarded in personal injury cases, but they are available if the defendant’s conduct was especially appalling. These damages “punish” the defendant for their actions and deter others in society from engaging in similar behavior.
Our Fresno personal injury lawyers work to maximize the damages you receive after an accident. Contact us at your convenience for more information.
Fault Allocation
What if I'm Being Blamed for My Accident in Fresno?
In most cases, you’ll be blamed for the accident that caused your injury – whether it’s an insurance company or the other party to your case.
California follows a pure comparative negligence doctrine when it comes to assigning fault. Under this doctrine, you can still receive compensation even if you are partially at fault. Your financial award can be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
Let’s say that you are awarded $200,000 for your injury, but you are found to be 25% at fault. You would then receive $150,000, or the full amount minus your percentage of fault.
When you hire M&Y Personal Injury Lawyers, we make sure to fight back against accusations that you’re at fault for your injury. Call a Fresno personal injury attorney today.
Important Deadline
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit in California?
Every state has a statute of limitations that sets the deadlines for when lawsuits must be filed. If you miss the deadline for your case, you lose your chance to obtain compensation from the court system.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years in most instances. However, there are exceptions. If you’re suing a governmental entity, you’ll usually have just six months to file suit. In other situations, the statute of limitations can be paused or tolled – for example, if the person you want to sue flees the state.
Please contact us as soon as you can if you’re not sure whether the statute of limitations has passed in your case. We can let you know during your free consultation.
Proving Your Case
How Do I Prove Negligence in My Case?
Negligence, which basically means the same thing as “carelessness,” is how fault is established in most personal injury cases. In order to win your case, you will usually have to prove that the other party was negligent. There are four legal elements required to prove negligence:
- Duty. You’ll have to prove that the other party owed you a duty of care given the circumstances. Drivers owe a duty of care to other drivers by way of staying safe on the road, for example.
- Breach. This element means proving that the other party’s conduct breached that duty of care. An example is running through a stop sign.
- Causation. You will also have to prove that the other party’s actions caused your injury. There are two types of causation in this context, actual and proximate.
- Damages. This last element entails proving that you suffered harm due to the defendant’s acts.
One or more of these elements will be at issue in almost every Fresno personal injury case. Our attorneys are highly experienced in handling negligence claims and can do the same for you.
Our Fees
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost in Fresno?
