Pedestrian safety is a growing concern in Bakersfield, particularly along busy corridors near Buck Owens Crystal Palace, Kern County Museum, and The Park at River Walk. High-speed traffic on CA-99, CA-58, I-5, and CA-178 and arterial roads, combined with inadequate crosswalks in some areas, puts walkers at serious risk. When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle in Bakersfield, the injuries are almost always severe.

As a firm rooted in the community, we provide hands-on, personalized representation to every client. You work directly with your attorney — not a call center or case manager. We return calls promptly, explain the legal process clearly, and fight aggressively to maximize your recovery.
