Being injured in an accident brings more than physical pain and inconvenience — it disrupts your life. The time, energy, and resources spent on recovery can’t be replaced, and the financial strain can be overwhelming. Pursuing compensation from those responsible can help you regain stability and move forward after your injury.
Contact a Fresno personal injury lawyer at Dunnion Law for help pursuing your injury claim. For over 50 years, we’ve practiced personal injury law exclusively. We’re ready to handle even the most challenging injury claims, and if needed, bring those cases to trial.
When you can prove that someone else’s conduct led to your accident, the parties must pay compensation, called damages. Your damages should reflect all the losses you experienced due to the incident.
Damages can cover your out-of-pocket expenses for medical care and incidentals. You can claim compensation for lost income and any paid leave you had to use during your recovery. If you have a permanent injury that requires ongoing care or prevents you from returning to work, damages can cover these future losses.
Pain and suffering damages are designed to compensate you for the impact the injury has had on your quality of life. You can claim damages for:

When you suffer injuries in an accident, get in touch with a Fresno attorney at our firm as quickly as possible. Early legal guidance can make a crucial difference — evidence can fade, deadlines can pass, and the actions you take right after the accident will shape the outcome of your case. Our firm will help you get the specialist care you need while handling communication with insurance companies and the responsible parties. We could also preserve your legal rights by ensuring your accident claim is filed in a timely manner.
Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in California gives an injured adult two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.
When a minor is injured, their parent or guardian can sue on their behalf within the same two-year deadline. Alternatively, the minor has two years from their 18th birthday to bring a lawsuit.
There are some circumstances that can extend or shorten this deadline, so always consult an attorney rather than assume your time to pursue legal action has passed. For example, in some cases, if you did not discover an injury until later, the statute of limitations only begins when you discovered or should have discovered the injury or its cause.
Motor vehicle accidents and big-rig and trucking crashes represent a major area of our legal practice. If you’ve had an accident with a car, bus, semi-truck, Uber, or other rideshare service, your motor vehicle injury could have long-term physical and financial impacts. We will help you pursue a claim to hold the at-fault person accountable for their negligent or reckless actions. We also represent people injured by vehicles while walking, running, or riding a bicycle or electric scooter.
