A personal injury, no matter how
large or small, is no laughing matter.

Good news is if you’ve been injured in an accident due to the negligence of another, you can fight back. Actually, let our expert San Diego personal injury attorneys do that for you.

Personal injury can cause devastating medical complications and financial woes, and we know how stressful this can be for victims and their families here in San Diego.

Luckily, personal injury victims in California have many rights when a negligent actor causes them injury, and a local San Diego personal injury attorney can help them get the compensation they deserve.

That’s where we come in. We are experts in all aspects of personal injury litigation and negotiation. (See the list of cases we accept below.) We are also local to the San Diego area.

What does being local have to do
with your personal injury case?

A lot. We know the community. We know the streets here in San Diego. We know the local ordinances. And we are also well-known and respected in the community.

But it’s also because we live here in San Diego County that we care so much. We fight hard for all our clients whether their case is large or small because they are our neighbors. But we also fight hard because San Diego County is our community too. We love helping to make it a safer place for us all.

We don’t skimp on what’s important

Our client-focused practice doesn’t skimp on what’s important. When necessary, we file suit and aggressively prosecute the case until resolution or trial. We explore all legal avenues on a client’s behalf and utilize a leave-no-stone-unturned approach to discovery and investigation. And because of our tenaciousness on behalf of our clients, we obtain a monetary recovery for our personal injury clients over 95% of the time in San Diego and throughout the state of California.

What compensation may you be entitled
to for your accident injury?

Property damage

Past, current and future medical bills

Past, current and future lost wages

Pain and
suffering

Loss of
enjoyment

Putting a monetary value to each of those is what personal injury attorneys do for their clients, and then we fight hard to attain you what you deserve. As in all personal injury cases, you are up against a behemoth in the insurance company which does not have your best interests in mind. They goal is to pay you as little as possible, and you are at a disadvantage if you try to take them on yourself. There is no need. That’s what we are here for. Let us fight the battle.

Personal Injury Law

FAQS

The term “personal injury” is a blanket term used to describe any injury to an individual. In legal terms, personal injury is used to refer to injuries caused by the negligence or lack of care of another person. When an injury is caused by someone’s negligence, the injured person can sue for monetary compensation (damages) for pain and suffering and for any costs incurred resulting from their injuries including the time lost from work, and more. In our justice system, monetary damages are the only method of recovery to help make a personal injury victim be made whole. This is where personal injury attorneys come in to ensure the victims get all they are entitled to.

What is my case worth?

The value of your case depends on many factors. Every San Diego personal injury case is different. One factor is the nature and extent of your injury. Some people heal faster than others. One person may heal in a week, while another may take six months, a year, or may never heal from the injury. Another factor is the amount of your medical bills, future medical bills and lost earnings, etc. Talk to one of the personal injury attorneys here at (619) 444-2244 for accurate personal injury advice on the value of your case.

Our office works with a variety of doctors in the San Diego area who can provide immediate medical treatment and defer payment until the case is finished.

Yes, you are entitled to a rental car. Some insurance companies will set you up immediately with a car rental agency in San Diego without you incurring any expenses. Other companies will reimburse you for your car rental expenses in the future.

You pay us only IF we recover compensation for you through a settlement with the insurance company or a verdict through the court. If we do not recover compensation for you, you do NOT have to pay us for our time.

This depends on the extent of your injury. Typically, a San Diego personal injury case takes anywhere from two to eight months. Sometimes, cases take longer if they are more complex or if a lawsuit is filed. See our personal injury lawsuit timeline page for all the details on how long your case may take.

Not necessarily. Sometimes you are far better off without filing a lawsuit. Our personal injury law office typically files a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company. We then attempt to negotiate with the insurance company. If you are dissatisfied with the insurance company’s offer, we may decide to file a lawsuit.
