Offices in El Cajon, Mission Valley and Chula Vista

Welcome to the Law Offices of Howard Alan Kitay.  We are a San Diego personal injury law firm.  Our main office is in El Cajon, across the street from the East County Courthouse.  Personal injury cases are the only kind we handle.  We have been in business since 1989, and we are a member of the Better Business Bureau.

This website is intended to answer your questions about personal injury cases.  For answers to specific questions about your personal injury case, please call or email for a free consultation.

Do I Need an Attorney?

Yes.  The insurance companies employ experienced claims adjusters to settle your case for as little as possible.  Do not talk to them!  An experienced personal injury attorney will make sure you recover the maximum settlement value for your case. Your attorney will handle all aspects of your claim, so you can concentrate on getting better.

What Are My Rights?
If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault, you have the right to the following ...

• Fair and Reasonable Compensation for All Pain and Suffering.  Compensation for pain and suffering is the biggest part of any personal injury settlement.  After an injury, you are entitled to only one settlement.  It is important to know the full extent of your injuries before discussing settlement.    
  
• Immediate Medical Treatment and Future Medical Treatment.  After an injury, it is important to get prompt medical treatment.  Even if you do not have health insurance,
  a personal injury attorney can help arrange immediate medical treatment, with no payment due until the end of your case.  If you have health insurance, you may be surprised to learn your health insurance will expect to be reimbursed at the end of your case for medical bills they paid following your injury. A good personal injury attorney will negotiate with your health insurance company to make sure you keep as much of your settlement as possible.  
  
• Compensation for All Lost Wages.  If your injury makes you unable to work, you have the right to be reimbursed for all lost wages. 
  Even when you use "sick time," you have the right to be reimbursed for the sick time you were forced to use.  
  
• Auto Repair or Replacement.  If your car was damaged in an accident that was not your fault, you have the right to have your car repaired or replaced.  You have the right to a rental car until your car is repaired or replaced. 
  An experienced personal injury attorney can get you into a rental car, usually the same day.
  

Will I Have to Go To Trial?
Probably not.  Most cases settle before trial.  Preparation for trial is the key to obtaining the maximum settlement.  At the Law Offices of Howard Alan Kitay, every case is prepared for trial; as a result, our clients obtain the best possible settlement, usually without going to trial.  We advance all costs, and if you don't win, you pay us nothing.
