Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle Across San Diego County

At Gershen Law, we are proud to serve clients throughout every corner of San Diego County, providing aggressive, personalized legal representation for a wide range of personal injury cases. Whether you were injured in a car crash, bitten by a dog, or suffered a slip and fall, we are here to fight for your rights and secure the compensation you deserve. Our deep familiarity with local neighborhoods, traffic patterns, and courts allows us to tailor our approach to each unique case across La Jolla, Santee, Poway, El Cajon, Chula Vista, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Spring Valley, and University City.

The types of personal injury cases we routinely handle include:

  • Car Accidents
     We represent victims of rear-end crashes, T-bone collisions, and multi-vehicle pileups on San Diego’s busiest roadways, including I-5 in Encinitas, Via De La Valle in Del Mar, and I-805 in Chula Vista. Our team works with accident reconstructionists and insurance experts to establish liability and pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

  • Motorcycle Accidents
     Motorcycle riders are uniquely vulnerable to severe injuries like traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and road rash. We advocate fiercely for injured riders across the county, ensuring that negligent drivers and their insurers are held accountable.

  • Truck Accidents
     Collisions involving commercial trucks and delivery vehicles often involve complex liability issues. We handle trucking accident claims throughout San Diego County, identifying all responsible parties—from negligent drivers to trucking companies and manufacturers.

  • Slip and Fall / Premises Liability
     Property owners are legally required to maintain safe conditions. When their negligence causes a slip, trip, or fall—whether at a store in El Cajon, a hotel in Del Mar, or a restaurant in La Jolla—we fight to hold them accountable for resulting injuries.

  • Dog Bite Injuries
     Dog bites can cause serious injuries, including puncture wounds, nerve damage, and permanent scarring. Under California’s strict liability law, dog owners are responsible for bite injuries even if their pet had no history of aggression. We represent victims of animal attacks across Carlsbad, Spring Valley, and beyond.

  • Wrongful Death Cases
     We provide compassionate yet aggressive representation for families who have lost loved ones due to someone else’s negligence. Our wrongful death attorneys help recover compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and emotional losses throughout San Diego County.

  • Rideshare Accidents
     Accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers present unique insurance and liability challenges. We handle rideshare injury claims in University City, Encinitas, and Chula Vista, navigating overlapping insurance coverages to maximize compensation.

  • Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
     San Diego’s pedestrian-friendly and bike-friendly communities also come with risks. We fight for pedestrians and cyclists injured in crosswalks, bike lanes, and sidewalks across Del Mar, La Jolla, and surrounding neighborhoods.

No matter what type of personal injury case you’re facing, Gershen Law is prepared to provide aggressive legal representation, personalized attention, and unwavering support. Our mission is to help injury victims across San Diego County recover physically, emotionally, and financially—because where you live should never limit your access to high-quality legal advocacy.

Reviews for Michelle Gershen

Michelle Gershen is a wonderful lawyer. She helped me step by step with my neck injury from a motor vehicle accident. I would highly recommend hiring her if you are in need of a lawyer. If I could give more than five stars I would.

Personal, professional, responsive! All Attorneys should be like Michelle! She got my case taken care of and helped me when I needed it most. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Annette M.

She will fight long and hard for your best interest! Michelle is the 3rd attorney I have worked with, and what a relief it was to have landed in her care. She kept me informed every step of the way, was extremely confident, professional, and organized. She is truly exceptional at what she does and it felt like my friend was working for me.

Joseph P.

I was lucky enough to meet Michelle at my last job. I have always found her to be helpful, supportive, and very responsive. Everyone I have referred to Michelle has been extremely pleased with her professionalism and caring demeanor. As a sole practitioner, she has the ability to react quickly when needed, and she is always cost-conscious.

You Have Questions. We Have Answers.

When you schedule your free consultation with personal injury attorney Michelle Gershen in San Diego, it's important to come prepared with specific questions you'd like us to address. Some of the common questions clients ask include:

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.
