What Is a Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury case involves harm caused by someone else’s negligence — whether that’s another driver, a business, a property owner, or even a manufacturer. If your injury could have been prevented with proper care, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Long-term rehab or disability
- Emotional distress
- Property damage (in some cases)
We’ll walk you through your options — and handle the legal side so you can focus on recovery.
Practice Areas
What we do
From car crashes to slip-and-falls, premises liability to wrongful death — we handle a wide range of personal injury cases. If you’ve been hurt and it wasn’t your fault, we’re here to help you figure out what’s next.
Car Accidents
Whether it happened on the 5, the 805, or a quiet street in Coronado, we’ll help you deal with insurance companies, medical bills, and legal claims — so you can focus on recovery.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists face real risks on Southern California roads. We fight to make sure riders get fair treatment and the full compensation they deserve.
Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents
Whether you were hit in a crosswalk or knocked off your bike, we understand the unique challenges cyclists and pedestrians face — and we know how to fight for your rights.
Workplace Injuries (Third-Party Claims)
If you were hurt at work because of a contractor, product, or outside party, we can help pursue compensation beyond workers’ comp.
Premises Liability
Falls, unsafe walkways, or hazards on someone else’s property? We help determine who’s responsible — and make sure you aren’t left paying the price.
Dog Bites & Animal Injuries
If you or your child was bitten by a dog or injured by an animal, we’ll help you understand your legal rights and pursue a claim with care and sensitivity.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one because of someone else’s negligence is devastating. We handle these sensitive cases with compassion and help families pursue justice and accountability.
Professional & Institutional Misconduct
We represent survivors of assault with care, confidentiality, and strength — helping clients seek justice against individuals and institutions. When therapists or mental health professionals violate ethical or legal boundaries, the damage can be deeply personal. We pursue these cases with diligence and respect for the sensitivity involved.

Personal Injury FAQs
Do I need a lawyer after an accident?
Not always — but if you’re hurt, missing work, or dealing with insurance delays, it’s smart to talk to a lawyer. We offer free consultations and will be honest about whether you need legal help.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of injury in California. Some cases (especially involving government property) have shorter deadlines, so don’t wait to ask.
What types of compensation can I recover?
Every case is different, but many clients recover:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Future care costs
- Property damage
How much does it cost to hire York Law?
There’s no out-of-pocket cost. We only get paid if we recover money for you.
