Dealing with Insurance Companies in Fresno & Visalia, CA
Let Our Experienced Legal Team Protect Your Rights & Best Interests
After a personal injury accident such as a car crash, you may very well end up facing a big insurance company in court in order to obtain the amount of compensation that you truly deserve. Insurance companies are meant to cover injury- or accident-related expenses when you are an innocent victim, but many times they attempt to pay out less than you need. Should you decide to take your case to court, you can be sure that they will hire excellent attorneys to defend them. The only way to succeed in a case against them is to hire a competent and experienced attorney.
At Sawl Law Group, our legal team has more than four decades of combined experience and has recovered millions of dollars for clients over the years. With our success rate, you can rest assured that your case is in good hands should you choose to retain our firm.

When an Accident Claim is Denied
Although you assume the insurance company has your best interests in mind, that is not the case. Insurance adjusters are committed to serving the company’s best interests and protecting its bottom line by reducing the amount you deserve or denying your claim altogether.
The following are some common reasons why the insurance company may deny your claim:
- Avoidable accident - Whether you could’ve avoided the accident or you contributed to the accident in some way, then your insurance claim could be denied. This will likely occur if the insurer believed your actions rendered the coverage ineffective, such as driving under the influence or having someone not covered by your insurance driving your car.
- No proof of injury or pain - When you’re injured in a collision, you must seek immediate medical treatment, whether it’s by calling for an ambulance or visiting your doctor right away. If you fail to do so, the insurance company may argue that you were never actually injured or your injuries were not the result of the accident.
- No medical records - Without an official medical document that states you suffered an injury, the insurer will deny your claim.
- Pre-existing condition - The insurer may claim that your pre-existing condition caused your injury and pain, rather than the collision. However, if your condition became worse by the crash, you may still receive some compensation but it’s difficult to prove what injury was caused by your accident and determine the extent your pre-existing condition had an effect on your accident injury.
If none of the issues above doesn’t apply to your case, then perhaps the insurer denied your claim in bad faith. In other words, the insurance company failed to live up to its obligation to resolve your case according to the policy.

Insurance companies may try to do everything in their power to avoid paying full compensation.

"I will forever be grateful to this office who helped me."I retained the office to help me with some very serious charges that would hurt my career and long time goals. I was wrongfully accused of taking materials from a job site. I did not take them, this law office help prove my innocence. They helped me find an investigator for my case. The staff was always ready to help me and willing to go the extra step when I had questions. The Attorney later was able to get my case dismissed. I will forever be grateful to this office who helped me. I recommend Sawl Law Group if you want someone fighting for you.- Preston D.

"I highly recommend Martin Taleisnik to anyone needing legal representation and would seek him out again, if needed."
Our Experience with the Sawl Law Group was only positive. My adult son was in serious trouble and refused to follow our extended family’s advice on how to plea, so as to enable him to get the help we thought he needed. Martin Taleisnik represented us and went above and beyond his call-to-duty on repeatedly meeting with our son and trying to talk sense into him. Because of his familiarity with the D.A.’s and judges, he was able to counsel us as to what to expect and whom to avoid, if possible.
All we were concerned about was that my son would get a fair hearing and not be swept aside by the court process. During one court appearance, Mr. Taleisnik was in the judge’s chambers for over 20 minutes, presenting the mitigating factors in my son’s case. At the sentencing hearing, Mr. Taleisnik gave an impassioned speech to the judge which persuaded the judge to give my son probation. During that speech, a female sitting behind us in court tapped us on the shoulder and told us that she was impressed by our attorney.
Regarding the fee. We were quoted a reasonable global fee that would cover anything that would transpire, short of a trial. My son’s case was continued almost monthly for 6 months, due to his co-defendant and other court procedures. Mr. Taleisnik was always there, on time, and would speak to us afterward in the hall, at length, about what the proceedings meant and what the next step was.
I highly recommend Martin Taleisnik to anyone needing legal representation and would seek him out again, if needed.

"They were able to lower my DUI to a much lesser charge of “Wet Reckless” saving me thousands of dollars, and time. So thank you Sawl Law Group, Claudia, and Michelle."
I just wanted to say a few things about Sawl Law Group. I had never needed to hire an attorney before, so I didn’t know what I was doing, or what to expect. When i had just been charged with a DUI; I had a pile of law offices to choose from. The first one that stood out was Sawl Law Group. They were very professional, and welcoming. Claudia made a long drive, just to meet with me face to face, and have a short conversation about my case, and my options. She made me feel confident that I could do much better than I had hoped. Claudia paired me up with Michelle, the attorney that would then, represent me. She took care of all my court dates (after signing a document of course) which was especially helpful with my crazy work schedule. Not only that, but they were able to lower my DUI to a much lesser charge of “Wet Reckless” saving me thousands of dollars, and time. So thank you Sawl Law Group, Claudia, and Michelle. And to anyone else who finds themselves in a bind; I definitely recommend starting here!

"Previous lawyers did not meet my expectations with their professionalism, concern or attentiveness. Sawl Law Group was very welcoming and understanding."
This was the first time I had ever been involved in any situation like this. I had spoken with a few lawyers before heading to Sawl Law Group. The previous lawyers did not meet my expectations with their professionalism, concern or attentiveness. Sawl Law Group was very welcoming and understanding.
They took immediate ownership of the problem at hand. This problem had wrecked havoc on my life by draining my time and my finances. Sawl Law Group was affordable and handled the case so I wasn’t required to miss work and physically be present. I would highly recommend Sawl Law Group to friends, family and anyone who needs a tough lawyer to receive justice.
