Personal Injury Lawyers in San Diego

Sustaining injuries in an unexpected accident can disrupt every aspect of your life, causing you physical pain, emotional distress, and financial problems that could last for years. If the accident was not your fault, you should not be responsible for dealing with the medical bills, lost wages, and other consequences of someone else’s negligence. You should be given the chance to recover from your injuries while the at-fault party takes financial responsibility for your losses, and that’s what you can expect when you hire a San Diego personal injury lawyer to file a legal claim on your behalf.

When you seek legal representation from Martinez & Schill LLP, you’ll have a team of experienced personal injury lawyers on your side who are ready to aggressively advocate for your interests as an injured victim. Attorneys Jennifer L. Martinez and Michelle D. Schill have a proven track record of recovering millions of dollars for personal injury victims through both settlements and verdicts over the years, so you can trust our skilled litigators to secure fair compensation for you. To learn more about how our personal injury lawyers can assist you, call our San Diego law office today at 619-404-5806 for a free consultation.

Client Success Stories

In April 2022, I was involved in a serious accident that completely changed my life. I suffered multiple fractures, including both jaw condyles and my anterior mandibular region (the front area of my mouth), a broken arm, and several brain bleeds, and later experienced complications due to surgical negligence.

Jenni and her incredible team are great at many aspects of the legal process. Yet, the services you’ll appreciate the most is the communication and educational guidance provided by Jenni and her team. So much stress and burden was gone the moment her team took over the case. Thank you Jenni and team!

I worked with Jenni Martinez after getting into a head on collision with a drunk driver. My car was totaled, and I broke my leg in the crash. I’ve had three surgeries just to repair the damage to my leg, and I spent months of physical therapy to gain the strength to walk again. She worked with me to get the maximum amount of money that the other driver’s insurance was worth without having to sue. I was already dealing with more than I wanted to with recovery, and she did so much work to make the effort minimal on my part. She even reached out to a colleague to help lower my medical lien by half.

I was in a car accident in 2020 that left me with a back injury that I’d been, and continue to, suffer with daily. After a very low-ball contingent settlement offer from the guilty party’s insurance company, I opted to seek legal counsel. I found this firm via a Yelp search, and was connected with Michelle Schill. Throughout the entire process, Michelle was very communicative and helpful, even though my case wasn’t a very large one at all. She didn’t give up on getting me a fair settlement, so I could avoid going through a lengthy and expensive litigation. Although I hope I don’t need her services again any time soon, I would absolutely recommend Michelle to handle anyone’s personal injury case. You’ll be met with sensitivity, care, and a bit of humor!

Why Should You Hire a San Diego Personal Injury Attorney for Your Case?

In most personal injury cases, the at-fault party’s insurance company is responsible for paying the victim’s claim. But the reality is that the insurance company’s number one goal is to pay out as little money as possible, whether that means offering insultingly low settlements or outright denying claims. San Diego personal injury victims don’t necessarily know what’s considered a fair settlement or what to do when their claim is denied. This is why it’s critical to hire a personal injury attorney to fight for you to get the best possible settlement.

Our personal injury attorneys at Martinez & Schill LLP have insider knowledge from their prior work with insurance companies, which allows them to effectively counteract the tactics used to minimize victim compensation. We won’t accept unfair offers during settlement negotiations with the insurance company, as we know how to use photos, video footage, medical records, and other evidence to support our request for just compensation. If you’re unsure how to prove to the at-fault party’s insurance company that you’re entitled to more than their lowball offer, it’s time to call our San Diego personal injury law firm for help from lawyers who know how much your claim is worth and how to get it.
