Car Accident Laws in California
California is an at-fault state, which means injured victims must file their car accident claim or personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party or their insurance company, rather than filing a claim through their own insurer. In order to successfully file a claim, you must prove that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care, they breached that duty, their breach resulted in the underlying accident and your injuries, and you suffered damages caused by the at-fault party’s negligence or recklessness.
Our personal injury law firm handles the following types of car accident claims in Visalia and Fresno:
- Rear-end accident
- Front-end collisions
- Side-impact and side-swipe accidents
- Multiple vehicle accidents
- Single-vehicle accidents
- Uber & Lyft accidents
- Intoxicated driving accidents
- Distracted driving accidents
If you share blame for causing a car accident, California follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule. This means that if you are partly at fault in a collision, your percentage of fault will be subtracted from your total award.
For instance, if the jury awards you with $100,000 in damages, but the jurors also say that you are 25 percent at fault for causing the crash. You will end up with a total award of $75,000.

"I highly recommend Martin Taleisnik to anyone needing legal representation and would seek him out again, if needed."
Our Experience with the Sawl Law Group was only positive. My adult son was in serious trouble and refused to follow our extended family’s advice on how to plea, so as to enable him to get the help we thought he needed. Martin Taleisnik represented us and went above and beyond his call-to-duty on repeatedly meeting with our son and trying to talk sense into him. Because of his familiarity with the D.A.’s and judges, he was able to counsel us as to what to expect and whom to avoid, if possible.
All we were concerned about was that my son would get a fair hearing and not be swept aside by the court process. During one court appearance, Mr. Taleisnik was in the judge’s chambers for over 20 minutes, presenting the mitigating factors in my son’s case. At the sentencing hearing, Mr. Taleisnik gave an impassioned speech to the judge which persuaded the judge to give my son probation. During that speech, a female sitting behind us in court tapped us on the shoulder and told us that she was impressed by our attorney.
Regarding the fee. We were quoted a reasonable global fee that would cover anything that would transpire, short of a trial. My son’s case was continued almost monthly for 6 months, due to his co-defendant and other court procedures. Mr. Taleisnik was always there, on time, and would speak to us afterward in the hall, at length, about what the proceedings meant and what the next step was.
I highly recommend Martin Taleisnik to anyone needing legal representation and would seek him out again, if needed.

I highly recommend this firm. They are very busy, so sometimes you may need to be persistent in calling them. BUT they are experienced in accidents cases and fight for what money you deserve. They are honest and inform their clients on what to expect. Their lien doctors are excellent. You get all the medical treatment you need.

This was the first time I had needed to hire an attorney. I met with 7 different lawyers before I decided. Right away you can see this is a very professional firm. They did everything they said they would, including working things out so I did not have to appear in court. I am very pleased with the service and the way the case was handled. I would and do recommend them to my friends.
