When catastrophic injury turns your life upside down, who you choose to stand with you matters. Our dedicated Bakersfield car accident attorneys offer decades of experience representing individuals who have been seriously injured in car accidents and other serious accidents. In the video below, our client Patrick shares his experience working with Rodriguez & Associates after he was injured in a devastating car accident.
In 2014, Patrick, a lifelong resident of Bakersfield and car enthusiast, experienced a life-altering car accident while driving to work. Early that morning, a truck had dropped a large piece of machinery and left it behind on the road. Patrick, driving his regular morning commute in the pre-dawn dark, collided with the object at high speed, sending his car hurtling over the median and into oncoming traffic. The crash left him with serious injuries to his shoulder, ribs, and brain and destroyed his beloved Plymouth Barracuda. After two days in the Kern Medical Center, Patrick’s injuries still required several months of rehabilitation. Faced with daunting medical bills and a long road to recovery, Patrick knew he needed legal guidance.
“I had never had to have a lawyer for anything in my life. But I was born and raised in Bakersfield, and I knew who the best lawyers were in town, and that was Daniel Rodriguez and his team.”
As a Bakersfield native, Patrick was familiar with Daniel Rodriguez’s decades-long local reputation and decided to call our trusted car accident attorneys at Rodriguez & Associates.
The case was lengthy and challenging, as the initial police investigation mistakenly placed the blame on Patrick, and the corporation’s insurer claimed that he was exaggerating his injuries. The trucking company initially refused to accept liability, claiming that Patrick was at fault for the crash rather than the victim of their driver’s gross negligence. However, Daniel Rodriguez and the team at Rodriguez & Associates were undaunted. Armed with decades of experience and a proven track record of securing the compensation our clients deserve, Patrick’s legal team was able to prove that Patrick was not at fault for the crash that had impacted him so greatly. After years of litigation, they successfully proved the corporation’s negligence and secured a substantial settlement for Patrick and his family.
Still recovering from his catastrophic injuries, Patrick felt that our legal team had gone above and beyond to support him during this stressful time. He expresses his deep gratitude for Rodriguez & Associates, whose dedication to client care was at the core of the years-long legal battle.
“It was a long haul, but everything ended up being beyond what I expected. If you have been wronged, see Rodriguez & Associates. They will take care of you. They will fight for you.”
