Personal injury law

If you have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing, the law may entitle you to recover monetary damages to compensate you for your losses. Damages may include the costs of medical care and any necessary therapy, disfigurement and disability, lost wages from missing work and/or impaired earning capacity, and the pain and suffering you incurred. A California attorney experienced in injury accident matters evaluates your case and helps you understand your options.

Wrongful death law

In the tragic case where someone’s negligence or wrongful act results in the death of another, the victim’s family members may be entitled to bring a lawsuit for wrongful death. Where successful, a wrongful death claim may entitle family members to significant compensation for their losses, such as medical costs and loss of companionship.
If you have lost a loved one, an experienced San Diego wrongful death attorney can help you hold those who caused or contributed to your loss responsible, and can help you obtain relief for the financial stress that often accompanies a death in the family. In some cases, such as where a product manufacturer knew the product was dangerous and/or defective and that there was a risk of death inherent in the use of its product but they failed to timely recall or timely and adequately warn of its dangerous or defective nature, significant punitive damages may be awarded.

At The Drakulich Firm, we have extensive experience assisting injured people in obtaining the compensation they deserve. Firm principal Nicholas J. Drakulich is known for bringing claims against powerful defendants and winning tough cases. A few examples are as follows:
