Automobile and other vehicle accidents are, unfortunately, a part of everyday life and when injuries are sustained as a result of someone’s failure to pay attention or follow the rules of the road, it often makes sense to retain a San Diego auto accident attorney to pursue just compensation for out-of-pocket expenses and pain and suffering. At Harrison Patterson & O’Connor, our San Diego car accident attorneys assist victims in pursuing all available compensation for their injuries and navigating through both the insurance claims process and litigation. Our car accident lawyers regularly accept representation in a variety of accidents involving vehicles, including auto, motorcycle, truck and boat accident matters.

Victims of accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles or other vehicles are often entitled to compensation for their injuries, including compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Shortly after most accidents, insurance companies become involved and make every effort to minimize their exposure, shift responsibility and settle claims on terms that are favorable to them, not to the victim. It thus makes abundant sense to speak with experienced San Diego car accident lawyers, especially before giving written or recorded statements, executing forms/agreements or providing any detailed information regarding the accident. This is because insurance companies will use this information to evaluate, discount and possibly even deny your claim, so it is important to consult with an attorney to ensure you take the steps necessary to prepare, pursue and prosecute the claim.

At Harrison Patterson & O’Connor, we are experienced San Diego auto accident lawyers and we take all steps possible to maximize our clients’ recoveries whether that is through litigation or pre-litigation negotiations. Unlike many other San Diego auto accident attorneys, our experience has not been limited to representing those injured in accidents. Instead, we have significant experience working for large law firms and defending individuals, companies and their insurers. We are thus able to draw on the experience and insight gained only from working on the “other side of the fence.” The experience of many car accident lawyers is limited to representing plaintiffs, and they simply do not have the perspective gained from defending such actions at large law firms. Not only do we have such experience as attorneys, Mr. Harrison spent two years working as an insurance claims professional with the world’s largest insurer, State Farm. Our firm is now able to take this background and offer it to our clients. As our clients have come to learn, it makes sense to have an auto accident law firm on your side and fighting for your rights.

When you or someone you love has been seriously injured or tragically killed in an auto accident because of someone else's negligence or wrongful conduct, whether that be the exercise of poor judgment, impaired functioning due to alcohol or drug use or a general disregard for the safety of others on the road, we are pleased to answer your questions and discuss your options. We regularly accept the representation of personal injury clients on a contingent fee basis and agree to advance the costs of litigation. This allows our clients to have the peace of mind of knowing that one of our San Diego auto accident lawyers is working on their behalf without having to shoulder the burden of monthly legal bills during the prosecution of their claims.
