“From the first time I called, Azadeh was friendly, attentive, professional, and compassionate. She really looked out for me during my recovery and was able to get me a good settlement. She did an excellent job and I would recommend her to other.”

Laura S

“From beginning to end Azadeh fought tooth and nail to get me the money I deserve. She communicated every step of the process clearly. Her years of experience and professionalism proceeded her. Doctors speak highly of her skill and ability to win a lawsuit. At the end of the case, I was surprised to have won more money than expected.”

Jonathan M

“Had a fantastic experience with AK Injury Law Firm. I was rear ended (in a 4 car accident) caused by someone with no car insurance, who decided to change their number and never claimed any responsibility. Dr. Azadeh has the best team who is all extremely helpful and knowledgeable through the entire process. If you’ve been in an accident and need help definitely recommend reaching out!”

Caitlin

“Azadeh was really helpful throughout the whole process. She was friendly and professional. I felt confident with her handling my situation because not only is she an experienced attorney, she is also a former chiropractor which I believe helped in my situation. I would definitely recommend Azadeh to friends and family.”

Ton Zun

“Miss Azadeh made my personal injury case seamless. She came highly recommended to me by one of my friends. She was professional, reliable, and honest. I submitted my information and she went to work. She's amazing. Im very happy with the outcome and I have never worked with a lawyer so organized & prompt. Thank you”

The Hidden Costs of a Slip and Fall Accident: What You Need to Know About Compensation

A slip-and-fall accident, whether it happens at the grocery store, a retail establishment, a restaurant or an apartment complex, can leave you with extensive injuries and concurrent damages. Although you might be able to recover compensation for the losses you’ve experienced following your accident, the damages awarded to you will be dependent on what you can prove. Therefore, it’s important that you’re aware of the oftentimes unexpected costs you can experience after a slip-and-fall accident so that you know how to present the most persuasive personal injury case possible. Let’s look at some of them here. What damages can you experience after a slip-and-fall accident? There are several types of damages you can face after a slip-and-fall accident. These include: Medical expenses: Sure, you’ll have to pay to treat your immediate injuries, but the harm experienced may be greater than you realize. This can be especially true when you suffer back and neck injuries, which often result in lingering pain and can cause long-term mobility issues. As a result, you could require additional surgeries and other medical interventions to reclaim as much of your normal life as possible. Keep in mind that your medical needs may also include mental health treatment for any anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress that you may be experiencing. Lost wages: Suffering a slip-and-fall injury can knock you out of work for a significant period of time. This can render it difficult to pay your rent or mortgage and make good on your other debt obligations. While these losses may be recoverable through a personal injury lawsuit, remember that you may also be able to secure your anticipated lost wages. These are forward looking damages that take into account the work you expect to miss due to your recovery as well as any lost earnings capacity that may result from your accident. Pain and suffering: The negative impact that your accident injuries have on your life can be extensive. You may not be able to play with your children, support your household and effectively show affection toward your spouse. These losses can be difficult to cope with on a daily basis while you focus on your recovery. Fortunately, you may be able to recover compensation for these damages, too. You just have to make sure you have sufficient evidence to demonstrate the true ramifications of your accident injuries. How can a personal injury attorney help? On its face, proving damages in your personal injury case may seem simple enough. Yet, the reality is that evidentiary issues can arise that threaten the viability of your claim unless you know how to effectively address them. This is where a personal injury attorney may be able to assist. With a legal ally in your corner, you can rest assured that every shred of evidence supporting your case will be gathered and organized into compelling legal arguments. One of these attorneys can also help you anticipate the defense’s arguments, which can be key to overcoming any objections they make and countering their position. In the end, then, effective representation on your side can maximize your chances of recovering the compensation you deserve. Do you want to learn more about how to pursue a personal injury claim? If so, don’t hesitate to seek out answers to any pending questions you may have. After all, you only get one shot at fighting for accountably and the compensation that you need. We know the legal process can seem daunting, but by being proactive in exploring your options and learning about what the process entails, you can take the mystery out of it and position yourself to successfully navigate the process with confidence and competence.

Identifying San Diego’s most dangerous intersections

Driving in San Diego presents its own unique set of challenges. The city’s layout and heavy traffic can make navigating intersections a little bit riskier. These junctions often become hotspots for accidents due to various factors, from driver error to complex road designs. Dangerous intersections to look out for Intersections are critical points in traffic flow where multiple roads meet. Past reports concluded that intersections accounted for a significant portion of traffic accidents in San Diego. Here are some of the city’s most dangerous intersections: Palm Avenue & 16th Street Imperial Avenue & 26th Street Market Street and 19th Street University Avenue and 44th Street University and College avenues El Cajon Boulevard and 46th Street El Cajon Boulevard and Altadena Avenue El Cajon Boulevard and 60th Street Clairemont Mesa Boulevard and Doliva Drive Rosecrans and Moore streets University Avenue and Alabama Street Federal Boulevard and Euclid Avenue Mira Mesa Boulevard and Black Mountain Road Mira Mesa Boulevard and Aderman Avenue Westview Parkway and Mira Mesa Blvd The complexity of traffic signals, varied vehicle speeds, and pedestrian crossings contribute to the risk. Drivers must exercise caution and remain aware of their surroundings to navigate these areas safely. Practicing safe driving Staying safe at intersections requires being alert and adhering to traffic rules. Always approach intersections with caution and reduce speed. Make eye contact with other drivers and pedestrians to ensure everyone’s intentions are clear. Keep distractions to a minimum; avoid using your phone or adjusting controls while crossing intersections. Regularly check mirrors and blind spots to stay aware of nearby vehicles. Additionally, practicing defensive driving techniques can significantly reduce the risk of accidents. What to do if you were involved in a car accident? If you find yourself involved in an accident at an intersection, ensure safety first. Move to a safe location and check for injuries. Document the accident with photos and gather information from witnesses. Contact the police to report the incident and seek medical attention if needed. If you were a victim of a car accident caused by negligence, you may reach out to legal professionals. They can help you with insurance claims and provide representation to ensure fair treatment. They can also guide you through the process and help secure compensation if warranted.

3 common mistakes that jeopardize car crash compensation

Motor vehicle collisions are usually quite expensive. Even if the crash only causes property damage, people can anticipate thousands of dollars in repair costs. Major wrecks can also cause injuries that put people in the hospital or worse. People involved in car crashes often need financial compensation to repair or replace their vehicles, pay for medical care and offset any lost income. They can seek compensation by filing an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit. The driver who caused the crash is typically responsible for compensating the other people affected by the collision. The actions that people take immediately after a crash can have a direct impact on their right to compensation. Avoiding the three mistakes below can help ensure that people can seek the financial support they deserve after a wreck. 1. Agreeing not to file a police report The driver at fault for the crash may ask to bypass the official reporting process. They may offer to directly pay for the other party’s expenses. That offer may seem generous, but it puts the party not at fault in a dangerous position. If the driver who caused the crash does not uphold their promise, the other party has limited options for holding that motorist accountable. State law requires that people officially report collisions that cause injuries or $1,000 or more in property damage. Failing to do so can make it harder to get compensation later. 2. Going without medical treatment People sometimes inspect themselves for injuries and decide that they can manage everything at home on their own. What they fail to consider is that some medical conditions do not present symptoms immediately. People can have broken bones or brain injuries that take time to produce obvious symptoms. What seems manageable initially can progress into a much more serious medical issue. Delays in diagnosis can lead to poor medical outcomes. Additionally, a gap between the crash and the injured person’s diagnosis can raise questions about whether the collision was truly the underlying cause of their medical issues. 3. Settling with insurance too quickly It is easy for those in the early stages of recovery after a car crash to underestimate their losses. If the insurance company offers a settlement, they may happily accept those funds with the assumption that they are enough to cover all of the major crash costs. Unfortunately, once an injured person accepts a car crash settlement, they no longer have the option of requesting additional compensation. Even if their overall expenses increase significantly, the insurance company has no obligation to cover those losses. People handling the aftermath of a major car crash often need support from someone familiar with liability laws and insurance rules. Discussing a motor vehicle collision with a lawyer can help people avoid mistakes that could have negative financial consequences.

San Diego Car Accident Lawyer

When you’ve been involved in a car accident, the road to recovery can feel overwhelming. Between doctor’s visits, insurance calls, lost wages, and the stress of mounting bills, it’s easy to feel like you’re fighting an uphill battle. That’s why choosing the right San Diego car accident lawyer is critical. You need an advocate who doesn’t just fight—but fights strategically, with intelligence and determination to secure the justice and compensation you deserve.

At AK Injury Law Firm, our founder, Dr. Azadeh Keshavarz, brings a rare and powerful perspective to personal injury law. As a former doctor of chiropractic, she witnessed firsthand how insurance companies dismiss and mistreat injured accident victims. Determined to change the system, she became a personal injury attorney dedicated to leveling the playing field. Today, she uses both her medical knowledge and her legal expertise to build strong cases for clients—cases that outthink, outfight, and outwin the opposition.


Why Choose a San Diego Car Accident Lawyer?

Car accidents can have life-altering consequences. Beyond the immediate physical injuries, victims often suffer financial strain, emotional trauma, and uncertainty about their future. Insurance companies may appear friendly on the surface, but their primary goal is to minimize payouts. Without skilled representation, you risk being taken advantage of during a vulnerable time.

Working with an experienced San Diego car accident lawyer ensures:

  • Protection of your rights – Insurance companies employ teams of lawyers; you deserve one on your side too.

  • Accurate case valuation – An attorney ensures that your settlement covers not only current medical bills but also future treatment, lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.

  • Peace of mind – With a lawyer handling negotiations and deadlines, you can focus on healing.


The Unique Advantage of Dr. Azadeh Keshavarz

What sets AK Injury Law Firm apart is the background and perspective of its founder. Dr. Azadeh Keshavarz is not just a lawyer; she’s a medical professional who understands the human body, injury recovery, and the tactics insurance adjusters use to downplay legitimate claims.

Medical Knowledge Meets Legal Strategy

  • Deep understanding of injuries such as whiplash, spinal trauma, and soft tissue damage.

  • Ability to interpret medical reports and counter insurance attempts to minimize them.

  • Strategic case-building is grounded in both medical science and legal precedent.

Female-Owned and Client-Focused

As a female-owned law firm, AK Injury Law takes a compassionate, client-centered approach. Clients often remark on the firm’s ability to listen, empathize, and truly understand the struggles that come after an accident. The firm’s motto—Outthink, Outfight, Outwin—captures Dr. Keshavarz’s philosophy. Success in car accident cases isn’t just about aggression; it’s about being smarter than the opposition, anticipating their tactics, and building airtight strategies that deliver results.


Common Causes of Car Accidents in San Diego

San Diego’s busy streets and highways, from I-5 to I-805, see thousands of accidents every year. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Distracted driving – Texting, eating, or using navigation devices behind the wheel.

  • Speeding – Driving too fast for conditions, especially on congested freeways.

  • Impaired driving – Accidents involving alcohol or drugs remain a major issue.

  • Reckless or aggressive driving – Tailgating, weaving, or ignoring traffic laws.

  • Weather-related accidents – Rain can create dangerous, slick road conditions.

Understanding the cause of your accident is critical to proving negligence, and your San Diego car accident lawyer will investigate thoroughly to establish liability.


Types of Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor to catastrophic. At AK Injury Law Firm, we represent clients suffering from:

  • Whiplash and neck injuries

  • Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

  • Broken bones and fractures

  • Internal organ damage

  • Lacerations and soft tissue injuries

  • Chronic pain conditions resulting from the accident

Because Dr. Keshavarz has a medical background, she can identify the long-term implications of these injuries more effectively than most attorneys.


What Compensation Can You Recover?

When filing a personal injury claim after a car accident, victims may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses – Past, present, and future treatment costs.

  • Lost wages – Income lost due to inability to work.

  • Loss of earning capacity – If injuries prevent you from returning to your profession.

  • Pain and suffering – Physical pain and emotional trauma.

  • Property damage – Vehicle repairs or replacement.

  • Loss of enjoyment of life – If injuries limit your daily activities.

An experienced San Diego car accident lawyer ensures you don’t leave money on the table.


Steps to Take After a Car Accident

Knowing what to do immediately after a crash can greatly impact your case outcome. Here are the steps AK Injury Law recommends:

  1. Call 911 – Ensure safety and get a police report.

  2. Seek medical attention – Even if injuries seem minor, get checked.

  3. Document the scene – Take photos and videos of vehicles, injuries, and road conditions.

  4. Exchange information – Gather driver and witness contact details.

  5. Avoid admitting fault – Even saying “sorry” can be used against you.

  6. Contact a lawyer – Call a skilled San Diego car accident lawyer before speaking with insurance adjusters.


How AK Injury Law Firm Builds Strong Cases

At AK Injury Law Firm, every case is built on a foundation of strategy and precision. Our approach includes:

  • Thorough investigation – Collecting evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and accident reconstruction.

  • Expert consultation – Working with medical experts, accident reconstructionists, and vocational specialists.

  • Aggressive negotiation – Standing up to insurance companies and pushing back against unfair offers.

  • Litigation readiness – Preparing every case as if it’s going to trial, giving us leverage during settlement discussions.


Why Local Representation Matters

San Diego has its own courts, judges, and legal nuances. A San Diego car accident lawyer familiar with local processes gives you an advantage:

  • Knowledge of how local insurers operate.

  • Familiarity with San Diego’s roads and accident hotspots.

  • Relationships with local courts and experts.

This local insight ensures your case is handled with efficiency and accuracy.


Why Insurance Companies Fear Smart Lawyers

Insurance companies are prepared to handle aggressive lawyers—they face them every day. What they aren’t prepared for are attorneys who outthink them. By combining her medical expertise with sharp legal strategies, Dr. Keshavarz anticipates insurer tactics and dismantles them before they can reduce client payouts.

This is why the firm’s motto—Outthink, Outfight, Outwin—isn’t just a slogan; it’s a proven method.


When to Contact a San Diego Car Accident Lawyer

If you’ve been involved in a car accident, don’t wait to seek representation. California law generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim, but the sooner you act, the stronger your case will be. Evidence fades, witnesses move, and memories blur—your attorney can preserve the details before it’s too late.


 Let AK Injury Law Firm Fight for You

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, you don’t have to face insurance companies alone. At AK Injury Law Firm, Dr. Azadeh Keshavarz combines medical insight, legal experience, and strategic advocacy to give you the strongest possible representation.
