Start With a Free Consultation
At Chain | Cohn | Clark, we serve clients from all over Kern County—from the oil fields to the farms, from bigger communities like Bakersfield and Delano to the smallest towns.
Our next case starts with a story—your story.
When you come through our doors—a five-minute walk from the Kern County Courthouse—we know you’ve been through something. We’ll listen, and then we’ll talk about how we can help you.
The initial consultation is free, and you don’t pay anything out-of-pocket for our services. Our Kern County personal injury lawyers work on contingency, meaning they’re paid a prearranged percentage of your final settlement.

What Kinds of Cases Are Included in Personal Injury Law?
As a personal injury law firm, we assist clients in the aftermath of all sorts of incidents. The cases our Kern County personal injury lawyers handle include:
- Motor vehicle accidents. In 2023, Kern County was the scene of 3,932 crashes, resulting in 5,843 injuries and 177 fatalities. We handle car, truck, bus, and motorcycle accidents.
- Pedestrian accidents. In 2023, there were 281 pedestrian accidents in Kern County. Our attorneys have negotiated or litigated claims for many pedestrian accidents.
- Workplace accidents. When unsafe working conditions lead to injuries, our lawyers can help. We handle cases for workers injured in agricultural accidents, oilfield accidents, construction accidents, and more.
- Premises liability: A business or government agency should be maintained safely for all visitors. When neglect leads to dangerous conditions and injuries, we can help you seek justice.
- Product liability: Naturally, we expect the products we buy to be safe. But sometimes, product defects, poor labeling, or faulty instructions cause injuries. If you have a product liability claim, we can help.
- Wrongful death: The loss of a loved one is all the more tragic when someone’s carelessness or negligence caused it. A wrongful death claim holds the responsible party accountable for their actions.
Client Stories
We provide a level of personal service that is unusual at a personal injury law firm. But you don’t have to take our word for it—you can hear it in the stories our clients tell:
Karah was jogging in a crosswalk when a car hit her. She turned to Chain | Cohn | Clark for help. Regarding her case, she says: “I have nothing but positive things to say. I feel like everyone made a process that can seem scary and overwhelming very easy.”
John was severely burned at work when a steam line blew out. We handled his injury claim. “The lawyers and staff at Chain | Cohn | Clark are some of the most heartfelt, trustworthy, and caring people I have ever worked with,” he says. “They made sure that my whole family and I were treated like family, and we never had our questions unanswered.”
Frank was injured when he was rear-ended on Rosedale Highway. “I was in a financial bind with missing work (after the accident), and I had medical appointments out of town,” he explains. “The firm helped pay. There wasn’t that added stress about finances, along with my health. It made me feel like family.”
Kimmy fell and severely injured her back when the poorly maintained stairs leading to her apartment collapsed. “From front to back, the staff is awesome. And that was from the very first meeting with the investigator to all the girls I had phone calls with throughout the case,” she says of Chain | Cohn | Clark. “You have changed my life.”
