"I have recommended Mr. Harris to others, and would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent attorney."
-G. Fliegel, Project Manager, California Bank & Trust, Encinitas, CA


Mr. Harris is a leading auto accident attorney in San Diego County. He has years of experience representing victims of auto accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle vs. car accidents, and pedestrian accidents involving motor vehicles.

Often, an uninsured or underinsured motorist claim can be made for consequential damages when other responsible parties have no insurance or are underinsured.

It is not uncommon for responsible parties (or their insurance carriers) to claim that they are not at fault or that the injured victim is partially at fault (inattention) for the subject motor vehicle accident. When necessary, Mr. Harris utilizes the services of accident reconstruction experts to determine vehicle dynamics and how the accident occurred. Often these experts will provide testimony in court to support the injured person’s statements and testimony. Mr. Harris also has an excellent knowledge of medicine and works well with family members and treating physicians whose job it is to explain a claimant’s injuries and how that injury has impacted the injured party’s life.

Often, insurance companies try to pressure victims of car accidents, truck accidents, bicycle accidents, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents into accepting unreasonable payouts that fall short of what is just and reasonable. It is not uncommon for insurance companies to employ “hired gun” consulting doctors to review your medical records and minimize your injuries without having examined the patient. These “hired gun” consulting doctors are also paid many hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to provide court testimony to minimize your injuries. Mr. Harris will settle your case only when it is in your best interest to settle and only when the full extent of your medical issues are known and understood. If a reasonable settlement cannot be reached, Mr. Harris and his support staff will thoroughly prepare the strongest possible case and present your case to a judge or jury to ensure that you receive the appropriate compensation for medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost earnings, future loss of earnings, and other loss of enjoyment of life compensation.

If you are the victim of a car accident, truck accident, motor vehicle accident, bicycle accident, or pedestrian accident, or have lost a loved one in a vehicle related accident, you should contact an experienced auto accident lawyer.
