    San Diego Attorneys

    Have you been injured in a serious accident or an incident brought about by violence or recklessness? Or perhaps you’ve suffered the tragic loss of a loved one in a fatal accident caused by another party’s negligence? Injury victims and their families should not be the ones responsible for costly medical expenses and other bills related to the recovery and emotional trauma associated with a serious accident or act of violence. With the help of an experienced personal injury attorney, it may be possible to hold the at-fault parties accountable and seek a fair settlement that compensates you for your medical bills, lost wages, and more.

    Our San Diego law firm has a proven track record of success helping injury victims recover compensation from insurance companies and negligent parties responsible for their accidents, injuries, and pain and suffering. A personal injury victim should not have to worry about the complex legal process of filing an insurance claim or fighting for fair financial recovery when they are still severely injured. Likewise, the surviving family members of a tragically killed individual should not be on their own when pursuing financial compensation in a wrongful death case. 

    Help is available. Contact our injury and accident lawyers to discuss your case today.

    Can Our San Diego Injury Lawyers Help You Seek Compensation for Serious or Catastrophic Injuries?

    A personal injury attorney can help victims pursue compensation for serious injuries and other financial losses by building a strong case atop convincing evidence, including accident reports, medical records, eyewitness testimonies, and more. Your financial recovery will likely take the form of economic and non-economic damages.

    Potential financial compensation may include the following:

    • Compensation for hospital visits, surgeries, ambulance rides, prescription medication, and other medical care related to your accident injuries
    • Diminished quality of life
    • Disability, dismemberment, or disfigurement settlements
    • Emotional trauma and mental anguish compensation
    • Loss of companionship or consortium
    • Lost wages if you missed time from work, and lost income-earning capacity if you are unable to return to your former place of employment
    • Out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident and any associated severe injuries
    • Physical pain and suffering compensation
    • Property damage and replacements or repairs to personal property, including motor vehicles
    • Wrongful death damages, including lost wages, loss of benefits, loss of guardianship and companionship, emotional distress, and compensation for funeral, burial, and memorial expenses

    In addition to the compensatory damages listed above, punitive damages may be awarded to accident victims in cases of especially egregious conduct or maliciousness.

    How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury or Wrongful Death Claim in CA?

    How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury or Wrongful Death Claim in CA?

    There is a strict deadline for filing personal injury claims and wrongful death lawsuits in San Diego, CA. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. Such deadlines were enacted to ensure that personal injury lawsuits are filed soon after the accidents, when evidence is still readily accessible and eyewitness testimonies are still fresh. In most personal injury cases, failure to file a legal claim within the statute of limitations will likely bar the accident victim from recovering compensation for their injuries and other losses.

    In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim or a wrongful death claim is generally two years from the date of the accident or death.

    Certain circumstances may lead to exceptions to the rule, however. For example, in cases where the discovery of the injuries is delayed, the statute of limitations could begin once the injury is discovered or when the victim reasonably should have been aware of the injuries. 

    Another possible extension to the statute of limitations would be if the accused party leaves the state before you can file a personal injury lawsuit. Because you would be unable to serve the defendant, your personal injury case would be unable to proceed. To address this, the statute of limitations typically stops ticking away while the at-fault party is outside the state of California.

    Some personal injury cases, such as medical malpractice claims, instances of suing a government entity, and workers’ compensation claims, may have shortened statutes of limitations. Contact our law firm to discuss your case without delay.

    What Are the Benefits of Hiring an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer to Represent Your Legal Claim?

    Those seeking fair financial recovery for their injuries and other damages related to an accident that resulted in severe injuries or even death are strongly encouraged to seek the legal counsel of experienced attorneys. The legal process can be complicated and overwhelming for someone without much experience in the law, and can be especially difficult for victims who are still recovering from serious incidents.

    As your legal representatives, our San Diego lawyers will explore all potential opportunities to recover a fair settlement, hold the at-fault parties accountable for their actions, and get you the justice you so rightly deserve.

    We will gather valuable evidence and thoroughly investigate the causes of your accident to help build a case that supports your claims. We will also track your financial losses related to your accident and pursue the maximum compensation for these damages. In many cases, personal injury legal matters are resolved in negotiations with insurance companies or the liable parties themselves, but we have experience as trial lawyers to represent your case in the courtroom if that becomes necessary.
