We’re Ready to Help After Many Types of Accidents
We represent clients in a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
Accidents Involving Motor Vehicles
Motor vehicle accidents are among the leading causes of serious injuries in California, and especially in Merced, an area through which so many tourists travel on their way to Yosemite. Whether you were hurt in a crash involving a passenger vehicle, commercial truck, or bus, our attorneys can investigate the collision, determine liability, negotiate with insurers, and pursue compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Accidents Involving Other Road Users
Motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians are especially vulnerable because they have little protection in a collision. If a negligent driver caused your injuries, we can fight to recover compensation for your medical care, rehabilitation, lost income, and other damages while holding the responsible party accountable.
Accidentes de rideshare
Accidents involving Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies often involve multiple insurance policies and complex liability issues. Whether you were a passenger, driver, or another motorist, our team can identify the available coverage and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Accidentes de descenso y caída
Property owners have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. If hazardous conditions caused you to slip, trip, or fall, we can investigate the circumstances of your accident and pursue a premises liability claim against the negligent property owner.
Mordeduras de perro
Dog attacks can cause serious physical injuries and lasting emotional trauma. California law often allows victims to recover compensation from dog owners for medical expenses, lost income, scarring, and pain and suffering resulting from an attack.
Lesiones catastróficas
Catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, and amputations, often require lifelong medical care. Our attorneys work to recover compensation that reflects both your immediate losses and your future needs.
Negligencias médicas y dentales
Doctors, dentists, and other healthcare providers must meet accepted standards of care. When preventable medical or dental errors cause harm, we can investigate your case and seek compensation for the injuries and losses resulting from dental or medical malpractice.
Muerte equivocada
If you lost a loved one because of another person’s negligence, our attorneys can help your family pursue a wrongful death claim. While no lawsuit can replace your loss, compensation may ease the financial burden and provide a measure of justice.
Bed Bug Claims
Landlords and hotel owners who fail to address known bed bug infestations may be liable for the harm they cause. If you suffered injuries, property damage, or other losses because of an infestation, we can help you pursue compensation from the responsible party.
Every case receives the attention, preparation, and dedication necessary to pursue the best possible outcome.
Recovering the Injury Compensation You Deserve
The value of a personal injury claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the circumstances of the accident, and the losses you have suffered. If another party’s careless or intentional actions caused your injuries, you may be entitled to recover both economic and non-economic damages under California law.
Daños económicos compensate you for measurable financial losses, such as:
- Billetes Médicos
- Future medical treatment
- Costes de rehabilitación
- Salarios perdidos
- Reducción de la capacidad de ganancia
- Daños Propietarios
These damages are intended to help restore your financial stability after an accident.
You may also recover non-economic damages for losses that are more difficult to quantify, including:
- Dolor y sufrimiento
- Desastres emocionales
- Incapacidad permanente
- Desfiguración
- Pérdida del disfrute de la vida
These damages recognize the physical and emotional impact an injury can have on your daily life and future.
At KJT Law Group, our Merced injury lawyers carefully evaluate every aspect of your case to pursue the full compensation you deserve, both now and in the future.
Our Approach to Personal Injury Cases
A successful personal injury claim requires more than simply filing paperwork.

Preguntas frecuentes
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in California?
California generally gives injured victims two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, some cases, such as malpractice or those involving government entities, have different deadlines. Missing the applicable deadline may prevent you from recovering compensation. Speaking with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible can help ensure your case is filed on time and your legal rights are protected.
What Should I Do After an Accident or Injury?
The steps you take after an accident can have a significant impact on your health and your personal injury claim. If possible:
• Seek medical attention immediately.
• Report the accident to the appropriate party.
• Take photos or videos of the scene and your injuries.
• Collect contact information from any witnesses.
• Keep records of your medical treatment and expenses.
• Contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with the insurance company.
Taking these steps can help preserve important evidence and protect your right to pursue compensation.
What If I Was Partially At Fault for the Accident?
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you may still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. However, your percentage of fault will reduce your recovery. Insurance companies often try to shift more blame onto injured victims, so having an experienced attorney investigate the accident and present strong evidence can help protect the value of your claim.
Do I Have to Go to Court for a Personal Injury Claim?
Not necessarily. Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlement negotiations before reaching trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, filing a lawsuit and taking the case to court may become necessary. An experienced attorney can handle negotiations, prepare your case for trial if needed, and advise you on the best course of action based on your circumstances.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
Most personal injury attorneys, including KJT Law Group, handle cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not pay any upfront attorney’s fees. Instead, your attorney receives a percentage of any settlement or verdict recovered on your behalf. If there is no recovery, you generally do not owe attorney’s fees, making experienced legal representation accessible to injury victims.
