Why Hiring a San Mateo Personal Injury Attorney Matters

- Investigate the cause of your injury and determine who is legally responsible
- Gather critical evidence including surveillance, eyewitnesses, and medical documentation
- Handle all negotiations with the insurance company

Where Accidents Commonly Occur in San Mateo
San Mateo’s mix of residential areas, bustling downtown streets, and busy highways means there are many potential hazards throughout the city. Some high-risk areas include:
- Highway 101 and Highway 92 interchanges – frequent crash zones
- Hillsdale Shopping Center potential slip and fall accidents, parking lot collisions
- Downtown San Mateo (3rd & B Street) – pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Central Park – dog bites and recreational injuries
- El Camino Real – heavy traffic and crosswalk-related incidents
- Neighborhoods in Shoreview, North Central, and Baywood-Aragon – trip hazards and unsafe walkways
We understand the local landscape, and we use that knowledge to build a strong case grounded in real conditions and data.
What Compensation Can You Recover in a Personal Injury Case?
Personal injury compensation is meant to cover both your economic losses and non-economic suffering. Depending on your situation, we may pursue:
- Medical expenses – including ER visits, hospitalization, surgery, doctor visits, rehabilitation, and medications
- Future medical care – for chronic pain, disability, or ongoing treatment
- Lost income – wages you’ve missed while recovering
- Loss of future earnings – if your injury limits your long-term employment
- Pain and suffering – physical discomfort, long-term limitations
- Emotional distress – anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma
- Property damage – including vehicles, phones, or other personal items
- Wrongful death damages – for funeral costs, lost companionship, and emotional grief
We work with medical experts and financial analysts to ensure we calculate the full value of your claim—not just what the insurer is offering.
What To Do After a Personal Injury in San Mateo
