Our attorneys seek justice for injury victims in the San Diego and Riverside areas.

Have You Suffered A Personal Injury?

An accident can change your life in the blink of an eye. When you are seriously injured, the consequences can be swift and severe. If your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence or recklessness, you have a right to compensation.

At Martinez & Schill LLP, we can assist victims with all types of injury matters. Our personal injury attorneys have the skills and experience that you need to get maximum compensation for your injuries. Our track record of success speaks for itself.

How Much Time Do You Have To File An Injury Case In California?

In California, the law provides that an injured party must file their case within two years from the date of the injury. However, we encourage those injured to seek legal advice as soon as possible to allow our experienced professionals to preserve any evidence relating to the injury or accident.

Recovering Damages

When you sustain severe injuries, the costs to you physically, emotionally and financially can be exorbitant. There are many different types of compensatory damages that can be recovered in an injury lawsuit, including:

  • Medical expenses: Past and future medical care, including rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages: Wages lost during recovery as well as those lost by partial or total disability
  • Long-term care: Costs associated with caring for you if an injury leads to permanent disability (i.e., nursing home costs)
  • Pain and suffering: Both physical pain and emotional distress caused by the injury
  • Loss of consortium: Available to spouses who have lost companionship and other intangible elements of a marriage due to the accident

Additionally, in cases where the actions or lack of actions of the defendant are particularly egregious, punitive damages – or, damages meant to punish the defendant – may also be available. Depending on the circumstances of a case, punitive damages can be many times the compensatory damage award.

We Do Not Charge A Fee Unless We Recover For You
