rip off

After a roll over accident caused by a drunk driver, Mr. Accord called me to tell me to stop seeing a physical therapist because my medical bills were so high that (and I quote) "he would have to pay for them out of HIS pocket." He made up some fictional term called a drop down policy. Both insurance... companies and other attorneys I spoke to had never heard that term before. He didn't even go after the minimum liability. After a settlement of (what I was told) $55,000 I received a check for $175.00. The medical bills were over $75,000. I did not get my vehicle replaced, and still have minimum usage of my shoulder after having surgery for 3 torn ligaments an a torn rotator cup. Mr. Accord and this law center are negligent and dishonest. I was told I could have filed a lawsuit against him but finding an attorney to sue another attorney would be difficult.

Saved in a time of need, tyvm David Thaddeus Achord

was left in a very bad situation,other lawyers wouldnt take my case, the insurance company had changed hands and running from their responsibilities, dodging me everywhere that they could .. even my previous law firm had all but given up ... time was running out, things looked grim ... I felt very al...one, abandoned, like forsure i was being treated unfairly.. when i contacted David he was quick to review all aspects of the case and made a quick assessment .. quickly gave me the assurances i needed to hear, got me going in the right direction again .. I was surprised how quickly he turned everything around ... took a bad, very stressful situation and handled it it all with little effort required on my end .. he made it all very simple and calm for me,yielding maximum potential ... I was IMPRESSED David Achord ... TYVM!

Great Trial Attorney

I was in a head on collision caused entirely by the other driver, who was on his cell phone! I needed help getting out of my car, the whole time this jerk was on his phone, he never once came over to see if I was ok! He lied about the incident and I had to go to jury trial to get fair compensation. D...avid, Ray, and all of San Diego Injury Law Center really went to bat for me and did spectacular work in the jury trial! I felt really comfortable with them on my case and would recommend them to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney!

Three Car Collision

We were at a stoplight in PB and some drunk was flying down the road and smashed into the car behind us which then slammed into us. The guy took off but the cops caught him and arrested him. I went to Urgent Care and they told me I had whiplash. I was definitely concerned about my friend, her car,... and the injuries to my neck and back. I looked for a personal injury attorney, found David Achord and San Diego Injury Law Center, and they really helped me a lot. They sent me to an excellent chiropractor who helped heal my neck, and they got that jerk drunk-driver and his insurance company to pay for all my med bills and for the pain and suffering. I really like David and his team and highly recommend San Diego Injury Law Center.

I slipped and fell in a supermarket.

I went to the supermarket for stuff to make tamales and I had my little girl following me while I pushed the shopping cart. Somehow there was a tomato slice in the isle and I slipped real bad! I heard a pop in my knee and I was on the floor in a lot of pain. Someone from the store came over and cl...eaned up the tomatoes and the juice but no one helped me up. The supermarket, of course, denied responsibility and that's why I contacted San Diego Injury Law Center. I had surgery on my leg, lots of rehad sessions, I had to take pain pills, it was terrible. Luckily David Achord and his team were able to settle my case for a fair amount, enough to cover the medical bills and my pain and suffering. It took almost two years but in the end I felt like they got me justice.
