One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesShafter's roads carry a steady mix of farm equipment, commuters, and highway traffic, and that combination shows up in the crash data. In the most recent year on record, the city logged 44 injury collisions with 72 people hurt and 2 lives lost. Friday afternoons between 3 and 5 p.m. see a noticeable rise in reported crashes, likely tied to end-of-week travel along corridors like Santa Fe Way and E Lerdo Highway. If you were injured in one of these collisions, the aftermath can be overwhelming — medical visits, missed work, and calls from an insurance adjuster all at once. LawProactive doesn't practice law or charge you anything; we simply connect you with an independent personal injury attorney in the network who can look at what happened and explain your options. That conversation costs nothing, and there's no obligation to move forward. Getting informed early, before evidence disappears or memories fade, often matters more than people realize.
You generally have two years from the crash to file a claim, but that window shrinks dramatically — sometimes to six months — if a government entity like a road authority is involved. An attorney can spot that issue early, before it costs you your claim.
California uses pure comparative fault, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault, just reduced by your share. An insurer may try to shift blame onto you to lower a payout, and having someone review the facts protects your position.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
The other driver's insurer may ask for a recorded statement soon after the crash — this is rarely in your favor. Speaking with an independent attorney first, and preserving evidence like photos and witness info, helps protect a claim before details get lost or twisted.
