Hit from behind

David Achord is a nice guy and the people at San Diego Injury Law Center really helped me out. My friend recommended them to me after someone hit me from behind while I was at a stoplight. I went to David immediately and they helped me get a fair settlement. I really can't say anything bad about t...hem, the legal system takes a while but San Diego Injury Law Center worked hard for me. Thanks David.

I Like the Way David Spoke for my Son

My son was crossing the street near our house and got hit by a careless driver. It was sheer panic when I saw people picking him up off the ground, just a horrible panic! He needed to go to the hospital for cuts and bruises on his side, but mainly for knocking his poor little head on the ground. It w...as obvious that lady was at fault, she was on her cell phone! Her insurance said they were going to settle and take care of my son’s medical bills. They kept dragging it on and on and then they finally claimed there was no way to tell if his migraines, which he never had before, were a result of hitting his head! What they offered didn’t even cover the doctor bills! There is no way I can express how unbelievably overwhelmingly furious I was! I looked for an attorney and found San Diego Injury Law Center. I went to their office, talked to David, and knew immediately that was the right choice. David said that he would speak for my son and he did. I gave them all the paper work and that was it, a few months later they called me back with the settlement offer and I finally felt like my son was getting the justice he deserved. I really can’t say enough about David Achord and San Diego Injury Law Center.

Great Settlement!!

My daughter, son-in-law and I were stuck in an elevator in one of the government buildings downtown. When the maintenance crew arrived to open the doors the elevator was way below the ground level. I had an injured knee and it was very difficult for me to move about and those people kept telling me t...o just get out of the elevator. They ended up reinjuring my knee by forcing me out of there without proper help. When I told them about my injury they started calling me names and telling me it was my fault I couldn’t get out of their broken machine! I called David Achord and San Diego Injury Law Center immediately. I didn’t want to file a lawsuit, but I didn’t want my knees hurting again either, and so I certainly wasn’t going to let the elevator company’s negligence go unpunished, even if the government was involved. David and his team took my case, they stood up for me and got me a huge settlement. San Diego Injury Law Center kept me informed during the lengthy process and I really appreciated what they did for me.

Dedicated Personal Injury Attorneys

San Diego Injury Law Center was 100% the right choice for my personal injury case! I was smashed by a truck while walking through a crosswalk and San Diego Injury Law Center got me a great settlement! I spent a lot of my time out of San Diego and these guys did basically everything for my personal ...injury case, including keeping me informed about where the case was in the process. I had some scarring and needed plastic surgery so my medical bills were enormous… I don’t know what I would have done without San Diego Injury Law Center, I can’t imagine getting a better result from my bodily injury case (except not going through it in the first place), I totally recommend their legal services!

Thank You! For taking my Slip and Fall Case

My slip and fall in a grocery store caused me so much pain and anxiety. I slipped on some water and badly injured my knee; I had no money to pay for the surgery. My two sons talked to the manager who refused to claim liability for the fall, even though they knew the water was there. We looked for ...well over a year for an attorney who would take my case, the statute of limitations was going to run out and no one would touch my slip and fall case because the two store employees, who were witnesses and illegal, had simply disappeared. I lived in pain for two years because of that store’s negligence! It wasn’t fair! Thank God my sons found David Achord and the San Diego Injury Law Center. They took my case and got me justice! Their aggressive attorneys didn’t get paid until they won, and they got me a great settlement! I had my surgery, thanks to San Diego Injury Law Center who referred me to an excellent orthopedist, and expect a full recovery. I will never go to that store again, but I will recommend San Diego Injury Law Center to friends, family, and anyone who needs a great Personal Injury Attorney!
