Our lawyers will review what happened, discuss your injuries, and identify whether someone else should be held liable for compensating you for your losses. We will explain all your legal options and what to expect throughout the claims process.

This is not a question that can be answered at the beginning of your case, especially if you have suffered serious injuries. Our personal injury attorneys will need to calculate the full amount of damages possible in your case over time. This can include payment for all your current and future medical expenses related to your accident, lost wages, diminished earning capacity for the future, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and other damages.

There are different reasons why injured accident victims may not seek help from an experienced personal injury lawyer, including concerns about the cost. The good news is that many people end up with significantly more in their pockets when they have the right legal representation. Unlike many other types of lawyers, most personal injury lawyers do not bill you for litigation costs or hourly fees during your case. Your case evaluation is free, and we only get paid if we successfully get a settlement or verdict for you. Our fees come directly from your payout, which means you never have to pay anything out of pocket during your case.

Experience matters when it comes to injury-related claims. Michelle Gershen has been successfully representing accident victims and their families in San Diego for years, handling a wide range of complex personal injury cases with skill and dedication.

Some personal injury lawyers don’t regularly handle cases involving severe injuries or complex accidents. However, Michelle Gershen has built a strong reputation in San Diego for her extensive experience with a wide variety of cases, including those involving catastrophic injuries and high-stakes accidents.

It is not always possible to resolve every personal injury case directly with the insurance company. Although we are able to settle many claims for the full amount, our experienced litigators are always prepared to file a lawsuit and argue your case at trial on your behalf. We are not a “settlement mill” law firm that pushes every client to accept quick settlements, even if they are too low. Our goal is to obtain maximum compensation for you, and that means going to battle in court whenever it’s necessary.

We work on a contingency fee arrangement, where you only pay us attorney fees if we recover money for you. Then, our fees come as a percentage of your compensation. We find that this arrangement benefits our clients because they never pay out of pocket, and they can trust that we are fighting for the maximum compensation they deserve because our own payment depends on it.

Yes, when you work with Michelle Gershen, the experienced attorney you meet with during your initial consultation is the one who will personally handle your case from start to finish. You won’t be handed off to a paralegal, case manager, or shuffled between different associates—Michelle provides dedicated, consistent, and reliable representation every step of the way.
