How a Personal Injury Case Works
When you get hurt in an accident, seek legal advice immediately—you must file a lawsuit within two years of your injury in most cases. In most personal injury claims, our San Diego attorneys must prove that another party’s negligence was the direct cause of your injuries. We have the expertise and resources to thoroughly investigate all types of accidents and identify responsible parties.
Once we have the evidence we need an understanding of your losses, we reach out to the responsible parties and their insurers to inform them of your claim. We typically pursue compensation for your:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity, when applicable
- Incidental costs
- Physical pain
- Emotional distress
Negotiations usually produce a fair result, but if not, we are prepared to seek justice for you at mediation, arbitration, or in court.
Do not hesitate to pursue a claim even if you were partially responsible for your injuries. California Civil Code §1714 makes each party responsible for their part in the incident. If a jury finds you bear some blame, you can still recover damages, but the amount awarded to you is reduced by your degree of fault.
How Did You Get Hurt?
Our attorneys in San Diego can prove your case regardless of how you sustained your injuries.
Vehicle Accidents
We handle auto accident claims efficiently and effectively. We have had success representing victims of accidents involving the trucking industry, rideshare companies, and mass transit operators.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Pedestrians and cyclists often suffer catastrophic injuries in collisions with motor vehicles. We ensure our clients with permanent injuries receive the resources they need to live the most fulfilling lives possible.
Premises Liability
If you get injured in a fall or another type of accident on someone else’s property, you may have a claim against the property owner. The owner might also be liable if they failed to provide adequate security and you were injured as a result of criminal activity on the premises.
Workplace Injuries
When you are hurt at work, your employer must provide you with Workers’ Compensation benefits. If your injuries are permanent, you can claim permanent partial or total disability. Although you cannot sue your employer, if a third party caused the incident that led to your injuries, you can bring a personal injury lawsuit against that party.
Medical Malpractice
Doctors and other medical professionals can make mistakes that harm their patients. We pursue compensation from negligent medical professionals for the families of children who suffered birth injuries, victims of surgical errors, and people harmed by other forms of medical malpractice.
Defective Products
Defective products can cause a range of injuries and illnesses, even when used as directed. When corporations put profit before safety and sell products that harm consumers, we hold them accountable.
Wrongful Death
If your family suffered the loss of a loved one due to another party’s wrongful acts, you could seek damages in a wrongful death lawsuit.
