Frequently Asked Questions

Which courthouse handles personal injury lawsuits from Fresno?

Personal injury cases from Fresno are filed in the Fresno County Superior Court, B.F. Sisk Federal Building or the main courthouse at 1100 Van Ness Avenue, Fresno. The unlimited civil division handles cases over $35,000 — the threshold for most significant injury matters. Current trial timelines in Fresno County Superior Court run approximately 18 to 30 months for contested personal injury cases that don’t settle in the pre-litigation phase.

Is Highway 99 in Fresno County particularly dangerous for auto accident claims?

Yes. California Office of Traffic Safety data shows Highway 99 consistently ranks among the state’s highest-accident corridors, with Fresno County recording 1,647 injury-level accidents in 2024 — placing Fresno 11th among California cities for total accident volume. The agricultural truck traffic on 99 and the SR-41/99 interchange creates particularly elevated collision exposure for motorists and commercial freight operators alike.

What is the average auto accident settlement in Fresno, California?

Fresno County personal injury settlements tend to track California’s Central Valley market — somewhat lower than Los Angeles or San Francisco because local jury pools and insurer settlement practices reflect the region’s cost of living. Minor injury cases often settle in the $15,000 to $50,000 range; cases with documented hospitalization or permanent impairment regularly exceed $100,000. Catastrophic injury cases — spinal cord injuries, brain trauma — can reach seven figures regardless of county.
