- ATV Accidents

Riding an All-Terrain Vehicle in San Diego or Southern California can be very fun, but they are prone to serious injury or fatal accidents. Our ATV accident lawyers can help if you find yourself or a loved one in an accident.

- Bus Accidents

If you are injured while on a bus, the bus company may be responsible for any injuries that you may suffer. Make sure you consult with a San Diego bus accident attorney after the accident to get the compensation you deserve.

- Car Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are the most frequent type of accident in San Diego County and California. Traffic collisions affect thousands of injury victims each year throughout San Diego and California.

- Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk drivers and motorists driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol are amongst the most dangerous people on San Diego or Southern California Roads. A DUI injury accident lawyer can ensure that you and your family receive the compensation you deserve and to ensure that the intoxicated driver pays for his recklessness.

- Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Commercial companies are responsible for the careless conduct of their drivers and must pay for all the damages caused by the commercial vehicle accident.

- Hit and Run Accident

Hit and run accidents, which often involve driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, cause thousands of injuries and deaths every year in the United States, and the unfortunate reality of such crashes is that many hit and run drivers are never held accountable for such negligence. Injured victims must endure pain and suffering as well as struggle with mounting financial debt due to medical bills and lost income. The family of a hit and run wrongful death victim must cope with even more serious losses, such as funeral costs, permanent loss of future income, and loss of consortium.

- Vehicle Fire Accident

Although the development and production of electrically-powered vehicles has been gaining momentum, most vehicles have internal combustion engines that still rely on a combustible power source, namely gasoline. Gas, whether it is natural gas or hydrogen gas, is highly flammable, so the quality and function of the equipment and mechanisms that control its storing and application are vitally important. Poor quality materials, inadequately fastened components and/or poor design can be very dangerous in the event of an auto accident. All it takes is one small gas leak to start and feed a vehicle fire, leading to serious burn injuries, and even death.

- Taxi Cab Accidents

Taxicabs are a great way to get around if you don’t want to ride in a large public transportation vehicle, like a bus or trolley. Taxicabs are especially popular in San Diego because of the large volume of tourists who visit year round. Because there are numerous taxi cabs around, it is inevitable that taxicabs are involved in traffic and pedestrian accidents. Make sure you consult with a taxi cab attorney if you are involved in a taxi accident.

- Train Accidents

Because of a train's large size, it can be disastrous if you are involved in a train collision. Selecting an attorney is hard enough, but you must make sure you hire a competent train accident attorney if you or someone you know is injured or killed in a serious train accident in San Diego or California.

- Distracted Driving Accident

Distracted driving has quickly become a serious danger and a much-discussed issue by safety administrations and agencies across the United States in the past several years. While distracted driving crashes have been occurring since motor vehicles were invented, there are more forms of distraction and a greater number of cars on the road than ever. A distracted driving accident in California is not only a case of severe driver negligence, but a cause of potentially life-threatening injuries. Those injured by distracted drivers have the right to seek compensation for the losses they have suffered.

- Scooter Accidents

With the increased cost of gas, riding a scooter in San Diego seems like a viable alternative to driving a car in Downtown San Diego and in nearby neighborhoods such as Bankers' Hill, Little Italy, and Hillcrest. Scooters make up for their speed with their gas efficiency on the city streets. However, despite all of the good qualities about scooters, they can be dangerous if they are involved in a collision.

- Trolley Accidents

The San Diego trolley can injure or kill it's passengers, pedestrians and bicyclists walking nearby, and car drivers who cross on the trolley tracks. Our San Diego trolley accident attorneys are here to help.

- RV and Motorhome Accidents

RVs and motor homes are great vehicles for extended vacation trips. They are also great for camping. These vehicles have several amenities (like showers, sinks, bathrooms, kitchens, etc.) that make it a viable replacement for a home. Since these are still motor vehicles, they are still susceptible to traffic accidents. Make sure you speak to an experienced San Diego motor home or RV accident attorney if you are ever involved in this type of accident.

- Driver/Passenger Vehicle Ejections

When buying a vehicle, a consumer trusts that the vehicle will protect them in the event of a crash. A vehicle’s structural ability to protect its occupants during an accident is known as its crashworthiness. There are many different aspects of a vehicle that contribute to its crashworthiness rating, whether good or bad. Oftentimes, crash testing reveals defects or structural inconsistencies that can increase the risk of driver or passenger ejection from the vehicle.

- Amusement Park Accidents

San Diego and Southern California roller coasters and amusement parks can be very fun, but very serious accidents happen causing serious injury and even death.

- Negligent Security

Businesses must provide reasonable security for criminal acts and assaults that they should reasonably expect in conducting their business. If you have been assaulted at a bar or concert, you might have a personal injury claim against the property owner.

- Swimming/Drowning Accident

California, especially Southern California, has the perfect climate for swimming: relatively short and not-too-cold winters with long and warm to just-plain-hot spring, summer, and fall months. There is a lot more to having a swimming pool than just using it for fun and games in the summer, however. Swimming pool accidents can easily ruin summer fun if property owners are not careful.

The Jurewitz Law Group uses the latest technology to keep paperless records and present evidence in the most effective manner.

- Brain Injuries

There is no more serious 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. We work with neuropsychologists and other medical doctors experienced in treating head and brain injuries.

- 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 claim against the company or person who caused their child to be 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. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a kid with major injuries caused by an accident due to the negligence of others in the San Diego area or anywhere in California, let our experienced attorneys help.

- Birth Injury

There is nothing more traumatic than your newborn baby suffering a birth injury. The San Diego birth injury lawyers at the Jurewitz Law Group understand this and will get you the medical coverage you need if it was a fault of medical malpractice.

- Dog Bites

Our team of seasoned attorneys serves those seriously injured by dog bites in San Diego County, California. Through personal attention and education, our lawyers will help you make informed decisions, pursue full and fair compensation, and regain your peace of mind.

- Burn Injuries

Burn injuries, particularly those suffered by children injured by scalding water or fire, are extremely painful and debilitating. Burn victims require extensive medical care and hospitalization, including skin grafts by taking healthy skin and transplanting it to the burn area. Our San Diego burn injury lawyers 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.

- Spinal Cord Injury

The spinal cord is the main messenger between the brain and the rest of the nervous system. After a traumatic accident, the spinal cord may be damaged, resulting in an irreversible loss of mobility and feeling.

- Defective Product Injuries

We are a team of San Diego defective product attorneys experienced in representing people seriously injured due to products which are dangerous and harmful to the public due to design, manufacturing, or failing to provide adequate warnings to alert the public to their dangers. Unfortunately, dangerous products, whether defective automobiles, dangerous prescription medication, or medical devices that fail, injure thousands of Californians each year. Our 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.

- Social Security Disability Benefits

Filing for Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can be a daunting process, but the San Diego lawyers at Jurewitz Law Group will focus on getting you the benefits you need and deserve.

- Boating Accident Injuries

If you have been injured in a boating accident, contact an experienced San Diego boating accident lawyer immediately so that the incident can be investigated and evidence can be secured before it disappears or is altered.

- Maritime Injuries

The laws governing maritime workers are extremely complicated. If you are injured either at sea or working on land, you must file a claim within a certain time period or you could lose your chance of getting a settlement. Our experienced San Diego maritime accident lawyers can help.

- Nursing Home Abuse

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 500,000 adults over the age of 60 are neglected, financially exploited, or abused every year in the U.S. With statistics such as these, it is no wonder that the decision to place an elderly loved one in a nursing home is a difficult and complicated one. Choosing a nursing home that will provide the appropriate level of emotional and medical support is easier said than done with the increasing awareness and fear of potentially placing the well-being of your loved one into the hands of untrained, inexperienced, or abusive healthcare professionals at a poorly managed and/or understaffed nursing home facility.

- Elder Abuse

Elder abuse is a serious and dangerous crime. If you or someone you love is being abused in San Diego or California, get help immediately before it's too late.

- Work Injuries

It is your employer's responsibility to keep you safe on the job or cover your expenses if you get injured. In addition, other drivers and employees of other businesses may also be responsible for your injuries. Filing a claim can be difficult. An experienced attorney can help.

- Workers' Compensation

If you are injured on the job, the California Workers Compensation Act entitles you to receive medical benefits and lost wages.

- Construction Site Injury

Injuries that occur on construction sites are tragic and deadly. A trained lawyer can make sure you get the compensation you are entitled to.

- Wrongful Death

Money can never replace the hole left behind by the loss of a loved one. However, justice and California law requires a negligent party to pay for all the damage they cause, including the death of another person. Making sure your family obtains full justice means receiving money that can ease the financial pain that the family members are burdened with after someone close has died.

- Aviation Accidents

Though airplane accidents are rare, they are not uncommon. Crashes often occur because of pilot negligence and carelessness of due to poor maintenance and product defect.

- 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.
