What to Do After an Injury in San Diego
Taking the right steps immediately after an accident can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Here’s what we recommend:
- Seek medical attention right away – Your health is the priority. Get checked by a medical professional even if injuries seem minor.
- Document everything – Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, property damage, and anything else relevant.
- Get contact information – Gather names and phone numbers for any witnesses.
- Report the incident – File a report with police, your employer, or property management, depending on the accident type.
- Do not speak to insurers without legal counsel – Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. Let us handle those conversations.
- Contact Helbock Law Group – The sooner we get involved, the sooner we can start protecting your legal rights.
How We Build Strong Personal Injury Cases
Our legal team takes a thorough, methodical approach to every case. Here’s how we build a solid foundation for success:
- Comprehensive investigation – We gather police reports, medical records, accident scene evidence, and expert opinions.
- Liability analysis – We determine who is legally responsible for your injuries, which may include multiple parties.
- Damage calculation – We work with financial experts and medical professionals to fully assess the financial and personal impact of your injuries.
- Negotiation & litigation – We negotiate assertively with insurance companies and are fully prepared to take your case to court if needed.
Common Damages We Recover
Victims of personal injury incidents may be entitled to recover various types of compensation, such as:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Rehabilitation and after-care costs
- Property damage
- Wrongful death benefits (funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and more)
Why Timing Matters
California has a strict statute of limitations for personal injury claims:
- Two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim.
- Six months if your claim involves a government entity.
Missing these deadlines can result in losing your right to seek compensation, which is why fast action is critical.
Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side
It’s important to remember that insurance companies are focused on protecting their profits—not your best interests. They may offer quick, lowball settlements or pressure you to make statements that could hurt your case.
With Helbock Law Group representing you, you can rest assured that:
- We will communicate directly with insurers on your behalf.
- We will demand full and fair compensation.
- We will protect you from common insurance tactics designed to reduce your payout.
