VISALIA PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS

Car Accidents

California follows a comparative negligence rule under Cal. Civ. Code § 1714, meaning that even if you’re partially at fault, you can still recover damages. The insurance company will attempt to shift blame onto you—reducing their payout. We don’t let that happen.

• We examine police reports, looking for inconsistencies.
• We challenge biased witness statements that favor the at-fault driver.
• We bring in accident reconstruction experts to establish fault beyond dispute.
• We demand maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

The insurance company wants to settle fast and low. We take our time to increase the claim’s value by proving long-term damages, including future medical needs and emotional distress.

Truck Accidents

Unlike car accidents, truck accident cases involve federal regulations (49 CFR §§ 300-399) and state laws. Trucking companies often violate hours of service (HOS) rules, fail to maintain vehicles or cut corners on driver qualifications.

• We pull black box data to uncover speed and braking patterns before impact.
• We audit driver logs to expose violations of rest break requirements.
• We subpoena maintenance records to prove mechanical negligence.
• We hold both the driver and trucking company accountable.

Truck accident cases are about more than just the crash itself; they expose corporate negligence at its highest level. The trucking company’s lawyers will try to delay or deny claims. Still, we use federal safety violations against them to demand full restitution.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians have legal protections under California Vehicle Code § 21950, but drivers frequently claim pedestrians “came out of nowhere.” Insurance companies use this defense to shift liability. We break that narrative.

• We obtain surveillance footage from nearby businesses or traffic cams.
• We analyze crosswalk signals to prove right-of-way violations.
• We track distracted driving habits using cell phone records.
• We prove driver fault through expert testimony.

Pedestrian injuries are severe—often leading to fractures, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries. We factor in lifetime medical expenses to ensure your settlement covers today’s costs and tomorrow’s uncertainties.

Catastrophic Accidents

Some injuries permanently change lives. Under California Civil Jury Instructions (CACI) No. 3905A, catastrophic injury damages must account for economic and non-economic losses.

• We demand compensation for home modifications, adaptive medical equipment, and long-term care.
• We bring in life-care planning experts to project future costs.
• We work with medical professionals to establish the full extent of disability.

When an accident leaves someone unable to work or live independently, the responsible party must be held to the highest level of financial accountability.

Nursing Home Abuse/Elder Abuse Accidents

California’s Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (Welfare & Institutions Code § 15600 et seq.) allows victims to pursue compensatory and punitive damages when facilities fail to provide proper care.

• We uncover falsified medical records that attempt to hide abuse.
• We analyze staffing levels to prove neglect.
• We use expert medical opinions to confirm signs of malnutrition, dehydration, or bedsores.

Elder abuse cases require aggressive litigation. Facilities often settle quickly to avoid bad publicity, but we push for maximum damages to ensure long-term justice.

Dog Bite Injury

Under California Civil Code § 3342, California follows strict liability for dog bites. That means the owner is responsible even if the dog has no history of aggression.

• We prove ownership and control of the dog.
• We document injuries thoroughly, including infection risks and nerve damage.
• We fight back against homeowner’s insurance tactics that attempt to minimize payout.

Dog bite injuries can lead to permanent scarring and emotional trauma. We ensure compensation reflects the full extent of physical and psychological damage.

Defective Products

Product liability cases in California fall under strict liability, meaning the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer is responsible if the product was defective in design or manufacturing or lacked proper warnings (Greenman v. Yuba Power Products, Inc. (1963) 59 Cal.2d 57).

• We work with engineers and safety experts to prove design defects.
• We expose manufacturing shortcuts that led to hazardous flaws.
• We hold corporations accountable for knowingly releasing dangerous products.

These cases often result in class action lawsuits, but we ensure individual clients receive full compensation.

Brain Injury

Brain injuries are among personal injury law’s most complex and high-value claims. California law requires that damages account for long-term cognitive impairment, lost earning capacity, and lifelong medical care.

• We conduct neuropsychological evaluations to measure cognitive impact.
• We bring in economists to calculate lost future income.
• We fight for long-term rehabilitation and medical coverage.

Brain injury claims aren’t just about medical bills—they impact every aspect of a person’s future. Settling too early means losing out on years of financial support. We push for the highest possible compensation to secure a lifetime of care.

Visalia Personal Injury Lawyers

Some things shouldn’t happen, but when they do, you need a legal team that doesn’t just handle cases—we fight for outcomes that change lives. Personal injury claims are not about paperwork and procedures but about people: your pain, losses, and future. We don’t play games with insurance companies. We don’t accept lowball offers. We build cases so solid that the other side has no choice but to take responsibility, pay what they owe, and respect the rights of the injured.

At The Wagner Law Group, we don’t just file claims—we position you for the best possible result. The legal system may be complicated, but that’s not your problem. It’s ours. And we know how to turn the law to your advantage.

Visalia Personal Injury Claims – This Isn’t Just a Claim, It’s Your Life

Insurance companies have a script. They’ll tell you they care, that they understand what you’re going through, and that they’ll take care of you. But when you file a claim, they pay you as little as possible. They’re not in the business of doing the right thing.

We are.

• We step in immediately—no delays, no runaround. We take over every conversation, so the insurance company never has a chance to manipulate the situation.
• We investigate, document, and demand full accountability. No vague excuses, no “we’ll look into it.” We build a case that forces them to pay what’s fair.
• We know every tactic they use: adjusters who pretend they need more time, “independent” doctors who work for them, and confusing legal language designed to make you accept less. None of it works for us.

A personal injury claim isn’t just about money. It’s about getting your life back on track without financial stress, without worrying about medical bills, and without settling for less than you deserve. And we make sure that happens.

Visalia Personal Injury Attorneys – Why Whom You Hire Changes Everything

Not all attorneys fight the same way. Some firms shuffle cases like a factory—quick settlements, easy wins, never pushing hard enough. That’s not how we work.

When you hire The Wagner Law Group, you hire attorneys who can push back. We don’t just negotiate—we leverage, pressure, and take cases as far as necessary to get what’s right.

• We don’t chase settlements. We build cases that demand real compensation. That means calculating long-term medical costs, lost earnings, emotional trauma, and the full extent of what you’ve lost.
• We don’t let insurance companies dictate the terms. We set the pace. If they delay, we push. If they underpay, we escalate.
• We don’t accept weak offers because we know what cases are worth. You don’t pay for a lawyer who folds under pressure—you pay for one who fights until there’s nothing left to fight for.

This isn’t just about getting legal representation. It’s about getting an attorney who sees your case through the lens of justice and fairness, not just a paycheck.

Visalia Personal Injury Lawsuit – When It’s Time to Take the Fight to Court

Some cases never settle—and that’s fine because we don’t need them to. If the other side refuses to do the right thing, we take the case to court. No hesitation. No second chances.

Lawsuits don’t scare us. Insurance companies back down when they see we’re ready to go. That’s because we don’t just threaten to litigate—we prepare from day one as if we’re heading to trial. That changes everything.

• We prepare evidence so thoroughly that they can’t dispute it.
• We cross-examine their experts and expose their weaknesses.
• We ensure juries see the full impact of your injuries—no downplaying, no minimizing.

Litigation is war, and we go in with everything we’ve got. The other side knows this. That’s why we win.

Visalia Injury Attorney – You Deserve More Than a Lawyer. You Deserve a Fighter.

There’s nothing fair about getting injured because someone else was careless. There’s nothing fair about being left with hospital bills, lost wages, and the emotional burden of what happened. But fairness isn’t what wins cases. Strategy, experience, and relentless legal pressure do.

That’s what we bring.

At The Wagner Law Group, we don’t just take cases—we take responsibility for winning them. We treat every client like their case is the most important case we’ve ever handled—because to you, it is.

• No excuses. No delays. Just results.
• We handle the legal battle so you can focus on healing.
• We don’t take “no” for an answer. Ever.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much is my case worth?

There’s no set number. The value of personal injury cases depends on medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the long-term impact of serious injuries. We fight for every dollar you deserve—not just what the insurance company thinks is enough.

2. Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle, but we prepare every case as if it will. That forces the other side to offer fair compensation instead of dragging things out. If trial is what it takes, we don’t back down.

3. What does it cost to hire you?

There is nothing upfront. Personal injury victims don’t pay unless we win. There are no hidden fees or surprises—just real legal representation when you need it most.
