Were you involved in a car accident in Fresno? Unfortunately, car accidents can happen at any time, at any place, and at no fault of your own. If you suffered injuries after a car accident, you might have grounds to pursue a claim to recover compensation. Although car accidents are all too common in Fresno, many people do not pursue car accident injury claims even if they sustain serious injuries.
Why would victims of car accidents fail to seek legal assistance and file an injury claim? Consider the following:
- Fresno has a population of over 522,000 people.
- The average Fresno household owns two vehicles and commutes for approximately twenty minutes every day.
- The majority of Fresno residents (approximately 257,000) are Hispanic.
- Over 196,000 Fresno residents do not speak English.
- Spanish is the most common language spoken in Fresno (besides English).
- Almost 26% of the population in Fresno are native Spanish speakers.
Based on the details listed above, a sizeable portion of the Fresno population speaks Spanish. Although there might be many other reasons for victims of car accidents to hesitate to seek legal assistance, the fear of encountering a language barrier is enough to deter an injured victim from contacting a law firm.

Your Right to Sue
If you suffered an auto accident that left you with a series of injuries, you have an undeniable right to sue and receive compensation. Your right to sue is based on the concept of negligence and liability. For a party to be liable for the harm that you suffered, you must first establish that their negligence caused your accident and caused your injuries. Negligence consists of the following four elements:
- Duty of care—all drivers have a duty of care to all other drivers sharing the road. All drivers have the duty to exercise a reasonable level of care to prevent accidents with other accidents. Examples of the duty of care to other drivers include following all traffic signals, driving within the posted speed limits, and driving without distractions.
- Breach of duty—when drivers fail to exercise a reasonable level of care to prevent an accident (e.g. they are speeding, ignoring traffic laws, ignoring traffic regulations, or driving under the influence), they breach their duty of care.
- Cause—when drivers breach their duty of care (i.e. drive recklessly), they could cause an accident.
- Harm—in turn, the accident could result in harm to other drivers, passengers, or other parties.
If you suffered injuries after a driver breached his or her duty of care while driving, you might have grounds to file a negligence claim against the driver or the driver’s insurance company. If you would like to learn more about negligence and establishing a party’s liability for your car accident, you must discuss your accident with a Spanish speaking auto accident attorney. To speak with an auto accident attorney in Fresno that can speak Spanish, you must contact Normandie Law Firm at your earliest convenience.

Deadlines to Preserve Your Right to Sue
All claims, including car accident claims, are subject to statutes of limitations. A statute of limitations is a timeline to file a lawsuit. If you do not file your claim within the appropriate statute of limitations, you could lose your right to file a lawsuit and recover compensation. In general, car accident claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations; however, many exceptions could apply to your claim that could toll or extend the time you have to file your car accident injury lawsuit. Because you could lose your right to sue if you do not file your claim on time, you must act with urgency and discuss your claim with a Spanish speaking injury lawyer in Fresno immediately.
