Cases We Handle

We handle all types of personal injury cases, including but not limited to:

Car Accidents

Car accidents often leave their victims with serious injuries, unable to work and unable to pay their medical bills since they can’t work. If this sounds like you, call us today for a free consultation – we can help.

Bicycle Accidents

We have vast experience handling bicycle accident cases and are experts regarding bicycle safety and how the Clovis Municipal Code handles bicycles.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians often suffer catastrophic injuries when they are struck by vehicles. We are vastly experienced in handling cases involving the kinds of serious injuries seen in pedestrian accidents, such as spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are uniquely vulnerable to injuries in accidents because they don’t have the shell of a vehicle protecting them. From road rash to broken bones, if you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, we can help.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents often lead to particularly severe injuries due to the tremendous forces involved. Truck accident cases can be very complex since numerous defendants can be involved. We have decades of experience handling cases involving the severe injuries and complexities seen in truck accident cases.

Dog Bites

If you’ve been bitten by a dog, in almost all cases in California, the dog owner is liable for your damages, so we’ll be able to file a successful personal injury claim on your behalf.

Slip and Fall Accidents

If you have slipped or tripped and fell and injured yourself due to a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, we can file a premises liability claim on your behalf seeking compensation for your injuries.

Hazardous Exposure

We help people in the Central Valley who have developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after being exposed to Roundup or have developed Parkinson’s disease after being exposed to paraquat.

What Compensation Is Available in a Personal Injury Claim?

When we handle personal injury cases, we help our clients recover financial compensation for many types of damages, including:

Medical Bills

The bulk of compensation recovered in any personal injury lawsuit or claim is typically financial compensation for medical expenses related to the injury. If you’ve been injured in Clovis, you might already be facing medical bills, and you might need future treatment which will lead to even more bills. We can help you recover compensation for any past or future medical bills related to your injuries.

Lost Wages

The injuries you suffered may have caused you to miss time from work, whether it be because you were injured too seriously to work or because you needed to miss time from work in order to have your injuries treated. No matter the reason, if you had to miss time from work because of your injuries, an experienced personal injury attorney at our firm can help you recover compensation for the wages you were unable to earn.

Loss of Earning Capacity

The injuries you suffered in your accident may have caused you to suffer a disability which represents a loss or reduction of your earning capacity. When we handle your personal injury case, we can help you recover compensation for any reduction or loss of your earning capacity caused by your injuries.

Property Damage

If you have been injured in a car accident, we can help you recover financial compensation for any damage to your vehicle or any property inside of your vehicle at the time of the accident.

Pain and Suffering

California personal injury laws allow injury victims to recover compensation from negligent parties for any damages they suffer, including non-economic damages such as physical pain and mental suffering. When we file personal injury lawsuits or claims, we place accurate values on our clients’ pain and suffering and ensure they’re fairly compensated for it.

Wrongful Death

If you have lost a loved one in an accident, while we can’t bring your loved one back, we can recover financial compensation for you which can help make sure your family does not need to go through financial hardship due to the loss of your loved one. We can file a wrongful death claim on your behalf seeking compensation for things like:

• The loss of your loved one’s income, household services, spousal benefits, companionship, love, etc.
• Your loved one’s medical bills, pain and suffering, funeral costs, burial costs, etc.
• The suffering and grieving that you have had to go through due to the loss of your loved one

Punitive Damages

Not every personal injury settlement or lawsuit will end in punitive damages being awarded. However, if your injuries were caused by reckless or intentional conduct – say you were hit by a drunk driver – we will seek punitive damages on your behalf in order to maximize your recovery, deter others from behaving similarly in the future, and punish the wrongdoer.

Do I Need to Hire Personal Injury Lawyers?

While there is no technical requirement to hire a lawyer before filing a personal injury claim, if you want to be able to recover the most money possible, even after attorney fees are taken into account, you should hire a lawyer. There are two reasons for this:

• Insurance companies will only offer you low ball offers if you don’t have a lawyer
• It’s very dangerous and risky for you to talk with insurance companies after you’ve been injured

Insurance Companies and Low Ball Offers

If you have been injured in an accident in Clovis which wasn’t your fault, then, under California law, the at-fault party is financially liable for your injuries. In practice, what this typically means is that the at-fault party’s insurance company has a legal obligation to pay you for your injuries up to the policy limits. However, insurance companies will do whatever they can to avoid fulfilling this obligation, and if you can’t force them to fulfill this obligation, they simply won’t.

How do you force an insurance company to offer you a fair settlement offer instead of a low ball offer? Simple. You sue them over their low ball offer.

If you can’t sue the insurance company, and win that lawsuit, over a low ball offer, the insurance company isn’t going to offer you what you’re entitled to. A lawsuit is your only legal recourse against a low ball offer. If an insurance company sees you don’t have a lawyer, they know you can’t sue them and win, so they know it’s in their best financial interest to offer you a low ball offer and pay you as little as possible.

The game changes, however, when insurance companies receive letters of representation from experienced law firms like Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers. When the insurance company sees you’re represented by a law firm with a reputation for success like our firm, they know you can sue them and win. They now know that it’s in their best financial interest to settle out of court for a fair amount in order to avoid expensive legal fees. Virtually all of our cases end up settling out of court because of our reputation for victory in court.

Hiring experienced lawyers like our attorneys is the only way you’ll convince an insurance company to pay you the money you are entitled to for your injuries.

Talking With Insurance Companies Is Risky

Insurance companies train insurance adjusters to trick injury victims like yourself into saying things which imply they were at fault for their accidents or imply that their injuries aren’t as severe as claimed.

It is very easy to fall for the adjusters’ manipulation tactics, even if you are aware of these tactics. As an example, an adjuster may record a conversation with you on the phone and start that conversation off by asking how you’re doing. You may, simply out of instinct, reply “fine” to this question. However, the adjuster will then use this as evidence that you must not be injured that badly if you answered “fine.” That simple, innocent one-word response could cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

It’s best to have a lawyer handle all conversations and negotiations with insurance companies for you if you’ve been injured in an accident. We can handle these things and every other aspect of your case for you so all you need to do is focus on your family and recovery.

What Can Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers Do for Me?

Our lawyers can help with your injury claim in many ways, including by:

Performing a Free Case Evaluation

Injury lawyers always take care when accepting new clients because they usually finance any cases themselves, earning money via a percentage of compensation recovered instead of up-front fees. Before taking on a case, a lawyer will assess your situation to determine if your claim is valid. Injury lawyers don’t usually agree to working on cases unless they think they can win the case.

We will give you a free consultation in order to determine if you have a valid injury claim.

Collecting Evidence

Once we decide to take your case, we will collect evidence that another party is liable for your injuries. This evidence will be used in order to support your claim.

For example, we will likely obtain copies of documentation such as medical reports, accident reports and police reports. If there were any witnesses to your injury, we will locate those witnesses and make sure they give statements.

We might also gather visual evidence like pictures taken at the accident scene or footage from surveillance cameras which captured your accident.

In addition, we may consult with our network of the finest experts in California who can testify on your behalf to support your claim, including accident reconstruction, mental health and medical experts.

We will move very quickly to collect and preserve evidence which could possibly be destroyed or lost. We can then use this evidence to prove that someone else was at fault for your injuries.

Determining Your Claim’s Value

We will calculate your claim’s value once the extent and severity of your injuries are known. Our goal is to help you recover the most compensation possible for every loss you have suffered, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering.

Performing Negotiations

We have vast experience negotiating with insurance companies, and we know all of the tactics insurance companies utilize to try to pay injury victims as little as possible or nothing at all. You have a far better chance of recovering a fair settlement when you hire experienced lawyers like our attorneys to negotiate with the insurance company.

Filing Demand Letters and Complaints

Once you have reached the stage where you have recovered from your injuries as much as can be reasonable expected in the foreseeable future, we will send a demand letter on your behalf to the insurance company. This letter will explain what happened in the accident, why their insured is at fault for the accident, what damages you are seeking compensation for, and how much compensation you’re seeking. It will include evidence of the at-fault party’s liability, evidence of your injuries and evidence of the financial losses you’ve suffered.

Virtually all of our cases settle after negotiations commence following the sending of a demand letter. However, in a small number of our cases, when negotiations fail, we need to file a lawsuit. We can prepare and file a lawsuit on your behalf if need be. This lawsuit will lay out why the at-fault party is liable for your injuries, and will specify how much compensation you are seeking.

Handling the Discovery Process

After a lawsuit is filed and before a trial begins, we will turn over any evidence we’ve collected to the defendant and ask for evidence from the defendant. We may also conduct depositions with witnesses and experts.

Trying Your Case in Court

Many cases settle after a lawsuit is filed but before the case reaches court. However, should your case go to court, rest assured we are vastly experienced trial lawyers. We will represent you before a judge and possibly a jury. We will present your case, call any witnesses, and serve as your advocate through trial.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

If you have been injured in Clovis, California law states that, in most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim seeking compensation for your injuries.

However, exceptions to this rule exist, and some of them shorten the amount of time you have to file a claim.

The best way to find out if you still have a valid claim is to call us today for a free consultation.
