Child Injuries
Kids and teens are more likely than adults to be injured in accidents due to the negligence and carelessness of others. When children are injured, their parents or legal guardians may bring a personal injury claim against the company or person who caused their child to be hurt and injured. Child injury claims and lawsuits are especially difficult for parents. Families need a personal injury lawyer with the experience and compassion to represent injured children and their families following a serious accident.

Social Security Disability Benefits
The Social Security Administration (SSA) denies approximately 75% of the claim applications for disability. However, most of those Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim denials can be turned into accepted claims after reconsideration. Having a Social Security Disability lawyer by your side for your San Diego appeals case can greatly increase these chances. The experienced San Diego Social Security appeals attorneys at the Jurewitz Law Group work hard to get you the disability benefits you need and deserve. Call our law office at (619) 233-5020 to set up a free consultation and for help with your appeals hearing in San Diego or througout California.
Boating Accidents
With the Pacific Ocean as its front yard, San Diego is a boating paradise. Residents and tourists can take out their own boat or rent one at the many shops surrounding San Diego's waterways, which include San Diego Bay, De Anza Cove and Fiesta Island in Mission Bay, El Capitan, Lake Jennings, Lake Murray, and Lake Poway. Though, despite the notion that boating is a leisurely activity, there are a lot of risks and regulations that boaters must understand before they get into the water to avoid injuring others in an accident.
Unfortunately, many boaters and their passengers disregard these regulations and put their lives and the lives of other boaters in jeopardy. In 2009, the California Department of Boating and Waterways (CDBW) reported roughly 2,500 accidents. 40% of those resulted in injuries and deaths.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a boating accident because of someone else's negligence, contact one of the experienced San Diego boating accident attorneys at the Jurewitz Law Group. Our personal injury lawyers will work to get you the compensation you need and deserve. Call our law office at (619) 233-5020.
Brain Injuries
There is no more serious accident injury than a head injury which affects the injured person's brain. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and minor traumatic brain injuries (MTBI) can impact the injured person's ability to function and carry on even the most basic daily tasks. The worst part is that these injuries can be temporary, lasting months or years, or permanent requiring the injured person to obtain lifelong hospice care and nursing assistance. Your Jurewitz Law Group personal injury lawyer works with neuropsychologists and other medical doctors experienced in treating head and brain injuries. For a free consultation with one of our experienced brain injury attorneys, please contact our San Diego or Carlsbad law office at (619) 233-5020 for a free consultation.
Burn Injuries
Burn injuries, particularly those suffered by children injured by scalding water or fire, are extremely painful and debilitating. Burn injury victims require extensive medical care and hospitalization, including skin grafts by taking healthy skin and transplanting it to the burn area. The San Diego burn injury lawyers at the Jurewitz Law Group work hard on behalf of our clients to not only prove the at-fault party was negligent in causing the burn injury, but also gather evidence to ensure the maximum monetary recovery to include past and future medical care as well as the physical pain and suffering that the client has experienced due to his injuries.

Our San Diego personal injury lawyers document the evidence showing the defect caused the injury as well as the value of the injury that the product caused, ensuring that those injured receive full compensation.
Elder Abuse
Thousands of seniors in San Diego are abused by someone directly responsible for their care. In fact, more than half a million reports are made each year across the U.S. and millions more cases of elder neglect and abuse still go unreported. If you or someone you know is being abused or has been neglected while a dependent adult or a senior susceptible to undue influence, tell someone you trust and contact a San Diego elder abuse attorney immediately to bring this abuser to justice and get compensation for all the damages done. Call the Jurewitz Law Group at (619) 233-5020 for a free consultation.
Maritime Injuries
Thousands of vessels come in and out of the San Diego Port's two marine cargo facilities and one cruise facility every year, primarily because of its prime location in between Los Angeles and Mexico. The many maritime workers and dock laborers that work in and on these vessels help to make this process run smoothly. However, it is a high-risk job and accidents happen because of other people's negligence.
If you work in or on a vessel and are injured during the job, you will be covered by the Jones Act or the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA). Because the laws governing maritime workers and dock laborers are tricky, you should contact an experienced San Diego maritime accident lawyer immediately. The lawyers at Jurewitz Law Group will maximize your chances for a successful recovery in a maritime accident lawsuit. Call us at (619) 233-5020 for a free consultation and our help.
Work Injuries
It is your employer's responsibility to keep you safe on the job, or cover your expenses, if you are injured in a San Diego workplace accident if you are acting in the course and scope of your job. However, every year, too many San Diego workers are injured at work and unable to get the money they need to pay for medical bills and lost wages.
The California Workers Compensation Act limits the types of benefits you can receive, you may still be able to pursue a personal injury lawsuit depending on the situation if the workplace accident was caused by another entity or employer other than your employer. The workers' compensation system can overlap with your personal injury lawsuit and become very complicated. With an experienced San Diego work injury attorney by your side, you can get the most from your accident. Call Jurewitz Law Group at (619) 233-5020 for a free consultation.
Wrongful Death
The California laws governing wrongful death claims can be intimidating and very confusing. On top of this, insurance companies will go to great lengths to make sure that wrongful death beneficiaries get as little compensation as possible. If someone you love has been killed because of the negligence of another person, contact an experienced San Diego wrongful death attorney immediately. The dedicated San Diego wrongful death lawyers at the Jurewitz Law Group will make sure you get the money you need and deserve.
Airplane Accidents
Rarely do we see a news headline on a major airplane crash in San Diego. In fact, aircraft that carry hundreds of passengers are considered quite safe, and plane crashes only occur a few times a year around the world. Just because major airlines don't often have injuries or deaths associated with them doesn't mean that plane crashes are rare. Small aircraft, that only carry a handful of people, crash much more often and have a higher chance of leading to serious injury or death. Aviation accidents in California are typically a result of pilot negligence.
Whether you are injured in an airline crash while flying or injured on the ground by a plane that crashed, our experienced San Diego airplane accident attorneys at the Jurewitz Law Group will help you obtain compensation to which you are entitled. Our lawyers will work for your best interest. Call us at (619) 233-5020 to set up a free consultation.
Catastrophic Injury
An injury is considered to be catastrophic when it causes an individual to suffer permanent, life-altering harm. Even though minor injuries can lead to significant pain, lost wages, and medical bills, the physical, emotional, and financial consequences of catastrophic injuries often last for years, if not for the remainder of a person’s life. To help a catastrophically injured person receive adequate and proper medical care, treatment, and rehabilitation in addition to compensation for pain and suffering, losses, and various damages, a San Diego catastrophic injury attorney will gather evidence, witness testimony, and medical documents to ensure that negligent parties are held liable.
