Injury Claim Attorney

An injury claim attorney in San Diego is a personal injury lawyer who represents individuals and families who have suffered an injury due in part or entirely to another party's negligence or intentional harm. The goal of an injury claim is to secure fair compensation, perhaps in a lawsuit, for the losses caused by such an injury, including:

• medical bills
• hospital care
• long-term care
• rehabilitation
• job loss or work time lost
• emotional suffering
• loss of a loved one

If you have incurred a serious injury and you feel that another party may be liable (at least in part), you can schedule a free consultation with a San Diego-area injury claim attorney by contacting The Law Office of Melinda J. Helbock, A.P.C. Attorney Melinda Helbock can help you find answers to your questions and can determine if an insurance claim is right for you.

Serious Personal Injuries

The most severe personal injuries are usually the result of accidents, but injuries and deaths also follow intentional harm, such as when one person assaults another. At The Law Office of Melinda J. Helbock, A.P.C., we represent individuals in a number of personal injury claims, including those involving:

• auto accidents — often the fault of other drivers
• truck, motorcycle, bus and train accidents
• aviation accidents — plane crashes or collisions
• fires and explosions
• building collapse and other construction accidents
• falls from a height or on a slipper surface — a building owner may be liable
• sports and recreation accidents — e.g., boating, football, diving
• animal attacks — most often by dogs
• product liability cases — a dangerous or defective product causes harm
• medical malpractice — negligence by healthcare providers
• child injuries from unsafe toys or defective child products

The most catastrophic injuries (other than fatal injuries) can cause permanent disabilities and/or disfigurement that can greatly affect a person's life.

How to File Injury Claims

To file an injury claim, it's crucial to first discuss your circumstances with an experienced and knowledgeable attorney who will review your circumstances to determine if you have a legitimate claim. A lawsuit may or may not be an option for a given case. In addition, a negotiated settlement that avoids the costs of litigation may be appropriate.
