I was involved in a car accident in 2019. I was struck from behind by a impaired motorist. Drunk, high, maybe both. He tried to flee the scene but didn’t make it far. I was injured in this accident and needed help in finding what options I had. I checked out a few other offices along with Pines Salomon and did some research online into all of them. After speaking on the phone with Pines Salomon

I cannot say enough good things about my experience

My friend recommended Michael Pines to me and I was super happy. They took very good care of me, treated me very nice, and I got a very nice check. I had a lot of back pain and the doctor they referred me to helped me so much! I didn’t have to pay anything when I was getting treatment. I was so happy, that I’ve referred another friend to Michael pines.

Gracias Michael Pines y a todo su staff por su ayuda

  • Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?

    If you were injured because of someone else’s actions or inaction, you may have a personal injury case. While most personal injury cases arise out of negligence, including car accidents, motorcycle crashes, and slip and falls, it is also possible that your injuries are a result of intentional misconduct like assault and battery. Regardless of whether your accident resulted from purposeful conduct or carelessness, you may be entitled to compensation for the harm you’ve endured.

    The first and most unfortunate event to set the claims process in motion is an injury to an innocent victim, whether it happened to you or a loved one. The injury is caused by an at-fault party, whether it is an individual, corporation, or government entity. Although injuries can happen in many circumstances, the most common occur in vehicle accidents and can include:

    Sometimes injuries can occur due to dog bites, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, or other catastrophic events. No matter how the injury occurs, there must be an at-fault party for your claim to be valid, whether they were directly at-fault or a contributor to your injury.

    Usually, the claim is filed against the insurance company, or sometimes, directly against the responsible party.

  • How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

    Most personal injury lawyers in San Diego, CA, work on a contingency fee basis. This fee arrangement allows you to retain legal representation without having to face the financial risk of paying upfront. Instead, you are only required to pay your attorney’s fees if they win your case through a settlement or trial verdict. If you lose your case, you are not responsible for paying your attorney’s fees. 

    If your case is won, your attorney will receive an agreed-upon percentage of your overall compensation. 

    Contact our law office to learn more about our contingency fee arrangements for personal injury cases. 

  • How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

    While each personal injury case is different, the value of most cases depends on the following crucial factors: 

    • The severity of your injuries 
    • The type of accident that caused your injury 
    • The medical treatment required to treat your injuries
    • The strength of the evidence supporting your claim 
    • Applicable insurance policy limits 
    • Whether you suffer a permanent disability 
    • Time missed from work 
    • Whether you are able to return to work 
    • Whether you are partly to blame for your injuries 
    • How the injury impacts your overall quality of life 

    Our seasoned legal team can evaluate your claim and fight for the full compensation you deserve. 

  • What Damages Are Available to San Diego Accident Victims?

    San Diego accident victims are often able to recover economic damages for financial losses and non-economic damages for emotional suffering.

    Economic damages may include: 

    • Medical bills 
    • Property damage 
    • Lost wages
    • Out-of-pocket expenses
    • Reduced earning capacity 
    • Physical therapy 
    • Rehabilitation 

    Non-economic damages include: 

    • Emotional distress
    • Mental anguish 
    • Pain and suffering 
    • PTSD
    • Anxiety 
    • Depression 
    • Loss of consortium 
    • Diminished quality of life 
    • Disfigurement and scarring 

    Punitive damages may also be awarded at trial in cases involving oppression, fraud, or malice. These damages are rarely awarded and are used to punish defendants. 

    A skilled personal injury attorney can assess the extent of your damages and pursue any available compensation. 

  • What is Negligence and How Do I Prove It?

    Most personal injuries occur as a result of negligence. This means that you typically must prove that the at-fault party acted negligently in order to recover compensation. 

    You must establish the following elements by a preponderance of the evidence: 

    • A duty of care is owed
    • The duty of care was breached 
    • The breach of duty caused your injuries 
    • You suffered damages 

    The following evidence is often used to prove negligence: 

    • Medical records 
    • Medical bills 
    • Accident reports 
    • Surveillance footage 
    • Photos 
    • Videos 
    • Expert witness testimony 
    • Eyewitness statements 
    • Property repair estimates 

    If you can successfully prove that negligence occurred, you may be entitled to recover compensation for your injuries and losses.

  • Will My Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?

    Most personal injury cases are resolved prior to going to trial. However, if a fair settlement agreement cannot be reached, the insurance company denies your claim, or your damages are undervalued, it may be necessary to go to trial. A willingness to go to trial can help improve settlement negotiations and strengthen your claim as more evidence is revealed through pre-trial discovery. 

    While your case may be settled at the negotiation table, it is essential to work with an experienced trial attorney who can develop an effective strategy for your case and is prepared to win in court.

  • How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After an Accident in California?

    In California, you typically only have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. You also have two years to bring a wrongful death claim after losing a loved one. If you do not bring your case before the statute of limitations expires, you will be barred from recovering damages in court. 

    It can be difficult to keep track of crucial deadlines in your case while also focusing on healing from your injuries and moving forward with your life. A dedicated attorney can help ensure you don’t miss filing deadlines and the opportunity to recover the compensation you deserve. 

    Don’t delay getting the help you need in the aftermath of an accident in California. Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident or injury occurs.
