Many Kingsburg auto accident and injury accident cases get resolved without going to court. Other cases are fought through the court.

In Kingsburg, injury accident cases get filed and handled in the Civil Division of the Fresno County Court.

In 1998, all Fresno County Trial Courts unified to form the Fresno County Superior Court.

This happened because the voters approved a constitutional amendment letting Fresno County judges merge their superior and municipal courts. Before then, superior and municipal courts were separate.

Currently, Kingburg auto accident and injury cases are heard at the B.F. Sisk courthouse located in Fresno.
 

Accident and injury cases are called civil cases, unless they happen at work. If they happen at work, they're called workers compensation.

If you are going to fight your Kingsburg injury case in court, your civil case will be heard at this courthouse: 
 

B. F. Sisk Courthouse
1130 O Street
Fresno, CA 93721-2220
