Personal Injury Lawyers in San Diego

35 personal injury attorneys serve San Diego. Claims are filed in the San Diego County Superior Court, with federal matters in the Southern District of California.

California's pure comparative negligence rule reduces an award by the claimant's share of fault rather than barring it. Two local wrinkles are worth raising early: claims involving a city, county or transit agency require a government claim to be presented within months, and injuries involving military personnel or federal installations may fall under federal procedures rather than state law.
