Personal Injury
If you were injured because of someone else's negligence, you pay nothing unless I prevail. I represent personal injury clients throughout San Diego County and Riverside County on a contingency fee basis — no upfront cost, no fee if there is no recovery.
25 Years of Experience Standing Between You and the Insurance Company
Insurance carriers have experienced legal teams working to minimize what they pay you. I have spent more than 25 years on the other side of that equation — evaluating personal injury claims, negotiating against carriers, and taking cases to court when a fair settlement is not offered.
A fast offer from an insurance company is not always a fair one. Before you sign anything, let me review your claim. That conversation costs you nothing, and what you learn could change the outcome of your case significantly.
Passenger vehicle collisions, distracted driving accidents, rideshare accidents involving Uber and Lyft, and uninsured motorist claims throughout North County San Diego.
Commercial truck collisions involving federal carrier regulations, black box data, and multiple liable parties. These cases move quickly — evidence preservation in the first days after a truck accident matters more than in any other type of collision.
When a healthcare provider's negligence causes injury, the path to recovery requires both legal skill and the ability to read and interpret complex medical records. My undergraduate background in organic chemistry is an uncommon foundation for this work — and it shapes how I build these cases.
Spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, and other life-altering harm require a different scale of case evaluation. I assess catastrophic injury claims for their full lifetime value — including future medical care, lost earning capacity, and long-term quality of life impacts.
When a family loses someone due to another party's negligence, the legal process should not add to that burden. I handle wrongful death claims with the directness and care this type of matter demands.
When an insurance carrier unreasonably delays, denies, or undervalues a legitimate claim, California law provides remedies beyond the original policy limits. I represent policyholders whose carriers have not dealt with them fairly.
What a Personal Injury Claim Can Recover
A personal injury claim in California can pursue compensation across several categories. I evaluate every matter for its full value before any settlement discussion begins.
Lost Wages
Wages and benefits lost during recovery, and long-term earning capacity where the injury is permanent or disabling
