San Diego Personal Injury Attorney Serving Every Neighborhood in the City
When you're hurt because someone else was careless, you need a lawyer who picks up the phone — not a firm where you become a file number passed between assistants.
At Quigley Personal Injury Lawyers, every client in San Diego works directly with Brennan Quigley. Before founding this firm, Brennan spent years on the other side of these cases, defending insurance companies. He knows exactly how insurers evaluate injury claims, where they look for weaknesses, and how they justify lowball offers. That background now works entirely in your favor.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in San Diego
Whether your injury happened on the freeway, on someone's property, or in a crosswalk, we handle the full range of cases that arise from other people's negligence. Below is a look at what we do — and a link to the detailed page for each practice area.
Car Accidents
Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, highway pile-ups — auto accidents are the most common cause of serious injury in San Diego. We handle everything from straightforward liability cases to multi-vehicle disputes where the insurance companies are pointing fingers at each other.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders face unique bias from insurance adjusters who assume the motorcyclist was at fault. We know how to counter that and build the case your claim deserves.
Bicycle Accidents
San Diego's bike infrastructure is growing, but the danger hasn't disappeared. If a driver hit you while you were riding, you have real legal options — even if the accident felt minor at the time.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian injuries are often severe, and insurance companies know it. We move quickly on these cases to preserve evidence and establish liability before it becomes a dispute.
Slip and Fall / Premises Liability
Property owners in San Diego have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they don't — and someone gets hurt — they can be held accountable. We handle slip and fall cases and the broader category of premises liability claims.
Dog Bites
Rideshare Accidents
Uber and Lyft accidents involve layered insurance coverage that most firms don't fully understand. We do, and we know how to navigate it.
Bus Accidents
Claims against public transit agencies like MTS involve strict filing deadlines and government immunity rules that differ from standard injury claims. Experience with these cases matters.
Child Injury Cases
When a child is hurt, the legal process includes specific protections — and specific procedures — that require careful handling. We take these cases seriously and guide families through every step.
Negligent Security
If you were assaulted, robbed, or injured on a property that failed to provide adequate security, the property owner may share legal responsibility. These cases are less well known, but they are real.
Medical Malpractice
We accept medical malpractice referrals and work with clients whose injuries stem from substandard medical care. Reach out if you're unsure whether your situation qualifies.
Why San Diego Injury Victims Choose a Boutique Firm Over a Billboard Practice
The largest personal injury firms in San Diego run high-volume operations. Thousands of cases, dozens of attorneys, and a model built on settling quickly at whatever number the insurer offers. That model works for the firm. It doesn't always work for you.
We built Quigley Personal Injury Lawyers differently. Our team of seven handles a deliberately limited caseload so that Brennan can be personally involved in every case we take. When you call, you reach someone who knows your file. When your case reaches a critical decision point, Brennan is the one making the call — not a paralegal working from a checklist.
- You work directly with Brennan Quigley, not a rotating cast of associates
- Brennan's background as an insurance defense attorney means he anticipates how the other side will argue your case — and prepares for it
- We take on cases other firms pass on, including complex, smaller-value, and fact-intensive claims
- 8 years in practice, founded in 2018, with a reputation built on referrals from other attorneys

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim in San Diego?
If someone else's negligence caused your injury — whether in a car crash, on someone's property, or in any other situation where another party had a duty to act carefully and didn't — you may have a claim. The best way to find out is to speak with an attorney. We offer free consultations and will give you a straight answer about what we think your case is worth pursuing.How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in California?
In most cases, California's statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. There are exceptions — including shorter deadlines for claims against government entities — so it's important not to wait. Missing the deadline typically means losing your right to recover.What does a personal injury attorney in San Diego cost?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. There are no upfront fees, no hourly charges, and no cost to consult with us. Our fee comes as a percentage of the settlement or verdict we obtain on your behalf.Will I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases in San Diego settle before trial. That said, we prepare every case as if it will go to a jury — because insurers respond differently when they know your attorney is willing to litigate. We never settle for less than what a case is worth just to close it quickly.What if the insurance company already made me an offer?
First offers from insurance companies are almost always lower than what the case is worth. Before you accept anything, talk to an attorney. Once you sign a settlement release, you generally cannot go back and ask for more — even if your injuries turn out to be worse than expected. What makes Quigley Personal Injury Lawyers different from other San Diego injury firms? Brennan Quigley spent years defending insurance companies before switching to plaintiffs' work. He knows how insurers assess and undervalue claims from the inside. Combined with a deliberately small caseload and direct attorney access for every client, that experience shapes how we approach every case we take.
