San Diego Personal Injury Attorneys

Working to Hold Responsible Parties Accountable

The law defines personal injury as an injury to you, your family, or your reputation. A personal injury can be caused by a criminal assault, a vehicle collision, flooding, mold, uneven pavement, or even an underground tank buried near your home. When you are injured because a person or company ignores common sense, safety measures or the rules of law designed to protect us all, they are responsible for the injury. You deserve to pursue just compensation and our firm is here to help you fight for your rights.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

Due to the complexities of personal injuries, the State of California has statutes of limitations set for the varying accident types. For instance, the statute of limitations for car and motorcycle accidents is two years while victims of medical malpractice have up to three years from the date of their accident to file a claim. Just as each accident type is unique, each individual accident has its own complexities and the statute of limitations can vary dependent upon the nature of your injury. Navigating life after an accident can be difficult. Victims of personal injuries may benefit from consulting a skilled personal injury attorney who can advise victims of their opportunities for financial recovery and what important steps should be taken. In the days following your accident there may be documents or evidence that can be helpful in your case. Working with an attorney has many benefits and can allow you the time to focus on recovery while we focus on getting you the compensation you deserve.

That is why our personal injury attorneys are here to protect your rights and fight for the compensation that you deserve. Tell us about your case in a free evaluation today!

Representing Injury Victims for 25+ Years

For 25 years, Allen Semelsberger & Kaelin, LLP attorneys have helped many clients—people who have been seriously injured as the result of a criminal assault, flooding, mold, or because of toxic chemicals contaminating their water or land. The results of these incidents can be devastating, including brain injuries, death, and lifelong health struggles. At Allen Semelsberger & Kaelin, LLP, we believe every person is entitled to a safe living and working environment. When others ignore the rules of law that keep us safe, they are playing Russian roulette with our safety. Sometimes these rule breakers get away with their unsafe conduct. Unfortunately, when they do, they can cause tremendous damage, such as:

• Brain and head injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Burns, scarring, and disfigurement
• Amputation
• Paralysis
• Badly broken bones
• Partial or total loss of vision or hearing

If someone has violated a safety rule and you have been hurt, get legal help today. While we can’t restore what was broken, we have dedicated ourselves to obtaining full compensation for the harm suffered.

Suffered a Catastrophic Injury?

Some injuries simply heal with time. Other injuries are much more severe and may cause permanent disability and complications. Catastrophic injuries can be caused in all sorts of ways from accidents on construction worksites to medical malpractice and defective consumer products. In addition to physical pain, injured individuals often face the costs and difficulties of major surgery, rehabilitative therapy, and sometimes even permanent assisted living care.

Millions of Dollars In Verdicts and Settlements

We have helped obtain millions of dollars in compensation for injured victims. Allen Semelsberger & Kaelin, LLP previously helped residents of 18 homes recover 3.6 million in compensation for drinking water that was contaminated with high levels of manganese and iron. We also helped recover $4,550,000 in damages for drinking water in the Paradise Ranch community that did not meet state regulations and $3,000,000 for medical conditions related to mold contamination.
