Personal injury case review for Kern County
If you were hurt in an accident in Kern County within the last 30 days and someone else was at fault, the free case review takes about two minutes and tells you whether you meet Nozar Law's current criteria. It covers Bakersfield, Delano, Ridgecrest, Tehachapi, and Wasco and the rest of the county.
About two minutes. No cost and no obligation.
What kind of accident were you in?
Kern County sits at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley, with Bakersfield as the county seat and largest city. I-5 climbs the Grapevine over Tejon Pass toward Los Angeles, and Highway 99 and Highway 58 cross the county. The review covers crashes on I-5, Highway 99, Highway 58, and Highway 14 as well as on local streets in Bakersfield, the county seat; where in Kern County the accident happened does not change the questions it asks.
In Kern County, prompt care might be a hospital in Bakersfield, a clinic in a smaller town, or a telehealth visit; each creates the record the intake criteria look for, which is treatment within 14 days of the accident.
What happens after you check
Answer a few quick questions
The free case review asks what happened, how to reach you, when it happened, and whether you were treated. Nothing else.
Confirm your number
We text a short code to confirm it is really you. This is also how the firm records that you agreed to be contacted.
A short follow-up call
If your answers meet the criteria, a member of the Nozar Law intake team calls to confirm details and explain possible next steps. Whether to move forward is entirely your decision.
Questions people ask
Does the accident have to be in Kern County?
No. This page is written for people in Kern County, but the review covers accidents anywhere in California; the ZIP code question only confirms you are in the state.
Where would a case from Kern County be heard?
Civil cases that arise in Kern County are generally filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Kern, which sits in Bakersfield, though where a particular claim belongs depends on the facts. The review does not ask about it.
I was hurt on I-5 in Kern County. Does it matter which agency wrote the report?
No. A CHP report from I-5 and a report from a city police department or the Kern County Sheriff work the same way for the intake team; the review asks only whether a report was filed.
The nearest hospital to me in Kern County is a long drive. Does that affect eligibility?
No. The criteria look for treatment within 14 days of an accident in Kern County, or a plan to get it, not for treatment at a particular place; a clinic in Bakersfield, a regional hospital, or a telehealth visit all count.
