Car Accidents
Our "Office"
The Jurewitz Law Group is a San Diego based firm that represents people who were injured or who suffered property damage in car, truck, and motorcycle accidents throughout not only all of San Diego County and Southern California, but all courts throughout California.
Our Experience
We have represented clients in hundreds of motor vehicle accidents, and each client—and each accident—is unique. These accidents may involve hit and run drivers, drunk drivers, uninsured/underinsured drivers, car versus pedestrians, and car versus bicycle. We have represented clients struck by other motor vehicles, SUV, motorcycles, and semi-tractor trailers.
Our office also represents people injured in car crashes and accidents caused by defenctive products or designs in cars, trucks, and SUVs, including defective tire blowouts and failures, roof crush, seatbelts, gas tanks, and brake systems.
Injuries suffered in car accidents can often be significant and remain for the life of the victim. Typical injuries include whiplash, nerve damage, burns, spinal cord paralysis, broken or dislocated bones, and the loss of limbs. Unfortunately, in some cases, the victim may have died.
Why You Need a Lawyer
Motor vehicle accidents can cause serious injuries, all with devastating results. In an automobile accident, a large amount of energy is transferred to the human body almost instantaneously at the point of impact. Injuries range in degree of severity from mild bruises and soft tissue injuries to serious spinal cord and brain injuries. The effect of these injuries can alter one's life either due to permanent musculature and nervous system injuries, paralysis, or death.
We understand that after a car crash your primary goals are to receive medical treatment and have the medical bills paid, preventing any financial losses from lost wages, and making sure that future medical treatment is covered. If most clients obtained these goals and received a simple "Sorry", they would be happy.
However, the insurance companies have other ideas about what you deserve.
Insurance companies are very aggressive when defending claims. While they will lead you to believe over the phone that their insured is accepting responsibility, the insurance carrier will never confirm this fact in writing! They will press you for a recorded statement about how the accident happened or your injuries—with the intent of using that statement against you. They hope you will mispeak or say the wrong thing about your injuries. Most clients do not want to seem overly demanding or unreasonable. So they downplay their injuries when they in fact hurt a great deal.
Insurance companies also want you to give them blanket authorizations allowing them to inspect all your medical records, without offering any additional assistance to you in return. They tell you they will pay your medical bills after your medical treatment is complete, all while they are researching ways to pay less than the face value of your medical bills--leaving you stuck paying the difference.
With these forces working against you, you need an experienced and dedicated law firm to help you. You need a law firm that knows all the traps that the insurance companies will set for you—and then navigate you safely around them. You need a law firm that will look after your best interests and, if necessary, take your case to trial.
