After an injury in Bakersfield,what comes next.

Reports, medical records, insurance calls and deadlines, explained.

  • Which agency has your report
    On Highway 99 or 58, even inside city limits, and in Rosedale, Oildale or Lamont, it's usually the CHP's Bakersfield office. On city streets, it's usually Bakersfield Police. Not sure? Either one can tell you. Hurt at a business? Ask the manager to write up an incident report.
  • Symptoms can show up later
    Neck and back injuries and concussions don't always hurt right away. If something feels off in the days after, it's worth getting checked, even if you were already seen at the scene or in the ER.
  • Your records are yours
    Wherever you were treated, from Kern Medical, the county's only Level II trauma center, to Adventist Health, Memorial or Mercy, you have a right to copies of your medical and billing records, even with a bill unpaid. Keep them together with your receipts.
  • The DMV has its own 10-day rule
    If anyone was injured in a vehicle accident, even slightly, or damage tops $1,000, each driver must file form SR-1 with the DMV within 10 days, no matter who was at fault and even if police made a report.
  • Quick offers are usually final
    The other side's insurance company may call within days, ask to record your account or offer a check. Accepting a settlement usually closes the claim for good, even if your injuries turn out worse than they first seemed.
  • Public agencies have shorter deadlines
    Most injury lawsuits in California must be filed within two years. If a GET bus, a city or county vehicle or a road hazard was involved, a written claim to the city, Kern County, GET or Caltrans is usually due within six months.

I was referred to Valero Law by a friend. I appreciated that they didn't rush me out the door and actually took the time to hear my case from beginning to end. They really fought for me and my case. Great law firm to work with.

I was able to communicate with Valero Law Group after being in a car accident. They were able to settle my case and I received compensation thanks to the wonderful lawyers.
Eloina M.Google review
I fell in a commercial establishment due to a wet floor that had no warning signs. I didn't know what to do or if I even had a case, but I decided to contact Valero on the recommendation of a family member, and it was the best decision.

Common questionsfrom people injured in Bakersfield.

Do you have an office in Bakersfield?
Yes. Our office is at 5100 California Ave, Suite 104, Bakersfield, CA 93309. You're welcome to come in, but you don't have to: call us 24/7 at (800) 985-9565 and we can meet you at your home or in the hospital.
What does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. Your consultation is free, and no attorney's fees are owed unless we recover compensation for you. You may be responsible for case-related costs and expenses; we'll explain them before you sign.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In California you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If a public agency may be responsible, such as the City of Bakersfield, Kern County or Caltrans, a claim usually has to be filed within six months. Call us early so no deadline passes.
The insurance company already made me an offer. Should I take it?
Talk to us before you accept. In one of our car accident cases, the best offer before we stepped in was $410,000. We won $4.4 million. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Do you take cases outside Bakersfield?
Yes. We take cases from every town in Kern and Tulare Counties, from Delano and Wasco to Tehachapi, Ridgecrest and Frazier Park, and from anywhere else in California. If you can't come to us, we'll come to you.

Sí. Our team includes native Spanish speakers, and our whole site is also in Spanish.
