The Wagner Law Group has announced the launch of an Accident Victim Hotline at (833) 200-7111, providing immediate guidance to individuals injured due to negligence in California. According to firm founder Butch Wagner, many accident victims remain unaware of their legal protections until they face insurance adjusters and mounting medical bills, potentially limiting their compensation. The firm, which has recovered over 300 million dollars for injury victims and maintains a 5-star reviewed reputation, emphasizes that California law provides clear rights intended to help victims recover both physically and financially.
Motor vehicle accidents remain a leading cause of serious injury throughout Fresno and surrounding areas, with victims having the right to pursue compensation when another driver was distracted, speeding, or failed to follow traffic laws. The firm's car accident lawyers help determine fault by reviewing police reports, witness statements, and available video evidence, particularly in cases where victims face resistance from insurance companies despite clear liability. The hotline helps victims understand how to protect their claims and pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and future care.
Beyond vehicle accidents, slip and fall incidents frequently occur in commercial properties throughout Fresno and Lake Tahoe, where property owners are legally required to maintain safe conditions. Hazards such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting can contribute to injuries, and victims may have valid claims even when property owners deny responsibility. The firm's premises liability expertise extends to evaluating these cases, with the hotline providing guidance on how premises liability laws may apply.
The firm also represents victims in more complex cases, including a recent 5.25 million dollar settlement for victims affected by sex abuse involving a police officer at the Sanger Police Department. The firm's Sanger sex abuse attorneys are currently representing multiple survivors and believe there may be additional victims who have yet to come forward. These attorneys are available for no-cost consultations through the same hotline.
For families affected by fatal accidents, the firm has experienced accidental death attorneys available 24 hours a day. California law allows certain family members to pursue compensation when a fatal accident was caused by negligence, seeking damages related to funeral costs, lost financial support, and emotional impact. The firm's history of significant recoveries provides families with trusted support during these difficult times.
The Wagner Law Group also maintains a Lake Tahoe office at 1034 Emerald Bay Rd #404, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150, where winter conditions present unique risks. Icy roads, limited visibility, and inadequate snow removal contribute to serious accidents each year, with potential liability extending to government agencies or maintenance contractors who fail to properly treat hazardous roadways. Victims injured in winter-related crashes are encouraged to contact the hotline to discuss their options.
Wagner emphasizes specific advice for accident victims, including seeking immediate medical attention even when injuries don't seem severe initially, as symptoms often worsen over time. Medical records help establish the connection between accidents and injuries, while documenting the scene through photographs, witness information, and official reports strengthens claims. Speaking with a personal injury lawyer before providing recorded insurance statements can prevent claims from being undervalued. The Accident Victim Hotline offers guidance to help victims preserve evidence and protect their rights as they navigate the recovery process.
