About Personal Injury in San Diego

Personal injuries occur when a person receives harm either bodily, mentally or emotionally in some manner, as opposed to property damage. There are many types of accidents causing personal injuries, such as traffic accidents involving cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians. An individual may receive injuries from medical malpractice, dog bites, work place accidents, product defects, and premises accidents such as slip & fall. An injured victim may experience financial hardship and emotion stress if unable to work because of a personal injury suffered. If the element of negligence was the cause or a contributing factor to the personal injury accident, the responsible party may be liable to the injured individual for monetary compensation for medical costs, loss of wages and loss of future earning capacity as well as punitive damage awards for pain and suffering. If injured in an accident, it is important to contact a San Diego personal injury attorney for legal advice regarding options available for obtaining compensation for the injuries. Our lawyers at the Pacific Attorney Group successfully and aggressively represent many clients with personal injury matters including the following:

Insurance may be in place to cover accidents such as car insurance, premises liability, workers' compensation insurance or medical malpractice insurance. Typically, insurance companies attempt to minimize injuries and settle quickly with as small amount of monetary compensation as possible. Do not sign a settlement agreement with an insurance company without consulting with a personal injury lawyer beforehand. Included in a settlement agreement may be a release of any responsible parties from any future liability. Do not sign away your rights to pursue all means of compensation for your injuries and pain and suffering. It is important that you make an appointment today with one of our lawyers from the Pacific Attorney Group to review your personal injury case.
