Interstate 5 (I-5) Car Accidents
Interstate 5 (also known as "the I-5" or "the 5") is the major north-south freeway running along the coastline of San Diego County, beginning at the San Ysidro Port of Entry from Mexico and continuing through Oceanside and Camp Pendleton in North San Diego County. I-5 intersects or connects with several freeways as it crosses through the San Diego metropolitan area, including I-805 which splits off and then rejoins the I-5, SR 905 which heads eastbound to the Otay Mesa Border Crossing, SR 75 which heads west to Coronado Island and Chula Vista, SR 54 which heads east to National City, SR 15 and I-15 which heads northbound along inland San Diego County up to Escondido and Temecula, SR 94 which heads east to Lemon Grove, SR 163 which heads north to join I-15, I-8 which heads west to Ocean Beach and Mission Bay and eastbound to La Mesa and El Cajon, SR 56 which heads east to Santee, and SR 78 which heads east through Oceanside, Vista, and San Marcos.
The most well-known intersection along I-5 is "The Merge" where I-5 north and I-805 north merge just north of La Jolla and UTC and just south of Del Mar and Carmel Valley. At The Merge, the number of lanes decreases very quickly and traffic comes to a quick stop. This causes many rear end car accidents and multiple vehicle collisions.
Our offices represent persons injured in a variety of accidents, including motor vehicle accidents (car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and trucking accidents), bicycle accidents, car vs. pedestrian accidents, slip and fall accidents, and dog bites. While we do represent persons injured in these accidents, we are very selective and only accept persons with serious injuries. If we do agree to consider your case, the initial consultation is always free. Contact our office at (619) 233-5020 to schedule an appointment or you can can contact our San Diego personal injury lawyers directly online through our website at www.jurewitz.com. Our North County San Diego office is conveniently located to residents of Oceanside at 2768 Loker Avenue, Suite 101 in Carlsbad and is open by appointment only. Our Downtown San Diego office is located at 625 Broadway, Suite 815 in San Diego.
Unlike some San Diego law firms who say they are personal injury lawyers, the Jurewitz Law Group focuses and specializes exclusively in representing injury accident victims against insurance companies. We have represented hundreds, if not thousands, of injury victims in a variety of cases. In many cases, we are able to settle claims without filing a lawsuit. However, if the insurance company is still unwilling to provide a fair and reasonable settlement, we have extensive experience litigating injury cases and winning at trial.
We are not a high-volume law firm "mill" like those firms on television. When the Jurewitz Law Group represents you, everyone in the law office will know about your case and how they can help you. We take pride in personally handling each and every client case and getting to know our clients. The positive feedback we receive from our clients, their client testimonials, and the results we obtain for them speak to our success and our reputation in the San Diego legal community.
The attorneys at the Jurewitz Law Group want the San Diego community to be informed. We want every San Diego injury accident victim to be armed with the information they need to prevail against insurance companies who only care about their profits. Even if you choose not to hire a lawyer, feel free to follow our three regular accident and injury blogs (San Diego Injury Accident Lawyer blog, San Diego Injury Lawyer blog, or the San Diego Car Accident Lawyer blog) and download our free reports packed with helpful information for injury accident victims.
The Jurewitz Law Group uses the latest technology, including paperless record keeping and trial software. Our office is one of the most technologically advanced in San Diego County. That means Jurewitz attorneys can access every important document in a case immediately and communicate essential information to judges and juries quickly, easily, and to the fullest effect.
If you are unable to come to one of our offices, we can make arrangements to come to you.
