Here is the tear sheet from the September 26, 2011, Wall Street Journal:
For Mr. Blane, it was simple - he helps ordinary injured people every day in his busy injury practice - and he advised that if you get into an accident, do not wait or hesitate to get checked out by your doctor to ensure you are okay. The reason is insurance companies will usually jump on any delay in medical care to try and assert you were not that injured from an accident or your delay in care can be traced to other medical conditions you had before the accident. Furthermore, any delay in medical care does not adequately protect your medical and legal interests. Do yourself and your family a favor: get checked out by a qualified physician if you feel any discomfort or pain following an accident - the time period following any injury-producing accident is not the time to be "stoic," and you should always follow the medical advice of your doctors.
Types of Personal Injury Accident Cases in San Diego and Southern California
Personal injury accidents can occur due to many negligent actions, and more than one party may be responsible for your injuries. As a knowledgeable San Diego injury attorney, I assist victims in pursuing the following types of personal injury claims:
- Car accidents. A driver's negligence often causes car crashes. Distracted driving, intoxication, speeding, and aggressive driving are some ways motorists cause these tragic wrecks. Victims can suffer severe injuries and significant property damage.
- Truck accidents. Collisions involving commercial trucks can be catastrophic due to their size and weight. Truck crashes may be caused by driver fatigue, drunk driving, speeding, weaving between lanes, inadequate maintenance, or overloading. In many wrecks, many liable parties face the responsibility

of compensating the victim. - Motorcycle accidents. Motorcyclists are less visible to other drivers and can suffer life-altering injuries in a crash. Motorists cause many motorcycle accidents by failing to yield, following too closely, driving while drunk, or texting or talking on their cellphones while driving.
- Pedestrian accidents. Negligent drivers who speed, fail to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks or intersections or are distracted can cause devastating pedestrian accidents.
- Bicycle accidents. Motorists have a duty to share the road with bicycle riders. Unfortunately, they cause collisions when they speed, fail to yield, engage in distracted driving, and open vehicle doors without looking.
- Dog bite injuries. Under California's strict liability laws, dog owners can face liability if their dog bites someone. Victims can suffer life-altering injuries in a dog attack.
- Child injuries. Slip and fall, car, pedestrian, truck, and bicycle accidents are a few ways children are injured due to someone's negligence. A skilled San Diego injury lawyer can ensure the special procedures for settling a child injury claim are followed.
- Wrongful death. Surviving family members may recover compensation through a wrongful death claim if a loved one was tragically killed because of an individual's or business's negligence.
