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.

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.

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.

Car Accident Experts

I was rear-ended last summer, my car was totally smashed!! The lady down the street from me recommended I hire San Diego Injury Law Center. She was a former client and said they were “car accident injury experts”. She, in fact, had been referred to San Diego Injury Law Center by a woman in her Chu...rch. That is why I’m recommending them as well. They worked hard to get results, kept me informed, and took the time to understand my concerns. Thank you San Diego Injury Law Center.

Wonderful Work!! Great Service!!

I was in a car accident where I was rear-ended. My back and neck were hurt and I had a bunch of medical bills to pay, missed time at work, and had to fight with the insurance companies. About a week after the accident my friend, who had recently been in a car accident and used David Achord and San ...Diego Injury Law Center to resolve her case, told me to give David and his wonderful team of attorneys a call. I am so happy I did! I was scared because I didn’t have any money to pay, but San Diego Law Center didn’t charge me anything until my case was resolved. They always kept me updated on my case, and thankfully I never had to appear in court, they handled everything for me. I would highly recommend San Diego Law Center to anyone who’s been in an accident. Thanks David!
