The Wagner Law Group, a Fresno-based personal injury law firm, is currently offering accident victims a no-cost consultation hotline at (833) 200-7111. This initiative comes as the firm tracks numerous accidents occurring throughout Fresno County, including a recent fatal workplace incident where a man was killed while removing an oil rig. "We hear about accidents on a daily basis all over Fresno County," says Butch Wagner of The Wagner Law Group.
Motor vehicle accidents represent a significant portion of cases, with the firm's attorneys witnessing serious incidents like a recent three-vehicle collision where one person was ejected. These accidents often result in bodily injury, property damage, medical expenses, and emotional distress. "It is difficult for most people to understand their rights without consulting an attorney," says Aaron of The Wagner Law Group.
The firm handles various accident and injury cases including auto accidents, wrongful death, pedestrian accidents, slip & falls, motorcycle accidents, and bicycle accidents. They also represent employees in wage claims involving denied meal and rest breaks or overtime violations. Beyond accident cases, the firm's prison abuse lawyers are representing victims abused by employees at the Federal Correctional Institute in Dublin, California.
The FCI Dublin facility, now closed, was referred to as "The Rape Club" by victims and news agencies due to widespread sexual and emotional abuse spanning several years. The abuse and corruption were so extensive that even the warden was involved. The Wagner Law Group's FCI Dublin sex abuse lawyers have helped secure over 100 million dollars from the federal government for claimants, with many unresolved cases and potential victims still coming forward.
Additionally, the firm serves as a premier fire attorney in California, representing victims of wildfires like the Eaton Fire that scorched homes, livelihoods, and communities. Wildfires create complex legal challenges as they uproot lives and devastate communities, leaving victims with substantial losses requiring legal intervention.
The availability of free legal consultations matters because accidents and institutional abuses often leave victims facing complex legal systems while dealing with trauma and financial strain. Workplace fatalities like the oil rig incident demonstrate how quickly ordinary workdays can turn tragic, while prison abuse cases reveal systemic failures requiring legal accountability. The financial recoveries in abuse cases show how legal action can provide compensation for victims, though many survivors may not realize they have legal options.
For accident victims and abuse survivors, understanding legal rights and options represents a crucial step toward recovery and justice. The firm's hotline provides initial guidance without financial barrier, potentially helping victims navigate insurance claims, liability determinations, and compensation processes. In wildfire cases, legal assistance can help victims recover losses from responsible parties when natural disasters have preventable causes or inadequate responses.
The ongoing representation in prison abuse cases highlights how legal advocacy can address institutional failures and provide compensation to survivors of systemic abuse. With many potential victims still unidentified in the FCI Dublin case, accessible legal consultation becomes particularly important for encouraging reporting and pursuing justice. Similarly, in accident cases, early legal consultation can help preserve evidence and ensure proper documentation for claims.
