Personal Injury Lawyers in Fresno
At The Mayfield Law Group we represent clients throughout the San Joaquin Valley in a diverse array of personal injury matters. Although our Fresno personal injury practice is currently dedicated exclusively to representing injured plaintiffs, we also have experience on the defense side. This gives us a unique ability to anticipate the defense strategies employed by insurance companies and understand how they evaluate personal injury cases; we use this insight to provide our clients with the best legal representation possible.
We assist clients with a wide variety of personal injury cases, including the following:
- Automobile, motor vehicle, and motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Slip and fall/premises liability
- Wrongful death
- Construction site accidents
Products Liability
Manufacturers have a duty to consumers to make their products reasonably safe for use. However, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, millions of people each year suffer injuries and wrongful deaths from dangerous and defective products. Products can be defective in their design, manufacture, or in the warnings and instructions that come with the product. These cases are often complex and require expert testimony. If a defective product has injured you or a loved one, it is important to hire lawyers in Fresno who have experience in successfully litigating these cases.
Recoverable Damages
In California, recoverable damages in personal injury cases are divided into economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include past and future lost wages, past and future medical expenses, and other incidental expenses incurred because of the injury. Non-economic damages include those for the pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by the injury. In some cases, punitive damages amounting to as much as nine times the economic and non-economic damages may be awarded. Punitive damages are designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter them from causing similar harm to someone else.

If you have suffered an injury due to another's negligence, it is important to hire Fresno attorneys with the knowledge and experience of a large law firm, with the personal touch of a smaller firm.
