So I’m an injured single father of 2 and a union worker. I was working for a huge billion dollar company when I was injured and once I received my MRI results I knew my life was going to change forever. I injured my back while I was working I herniated discs in my lower back and knowing that I had a career ending injury and a life changing injury I knew I needed the help of a attorney. So I started calling attorneys in my area. I did a Google search for injury attorneys in San Diego and I started making calls Eric was on my call list so I called and left a message. I also called a few other lawyers 3 of them didn’t do workers compensation but they recommended Eric Gritz as the best work comp attorney in San Diego so I call his office again to schedule a consultation. Eric’s office was able to get me in the very next day so I went in and talked with Eric. He was very knowledgeable and he knew exactly what I was going through with such a debilitating injury and I believed he would be able to stand up and fight for me so I signed with him. Eric has been amazing he picks up whenever I call he emails me back quickly whenever I email him and he is really calming whenever I’m having a rough time. My case hasn’t settled yet but he has been fighting for me the entire time and I have faith that he will continue to fight till my case is settled.

Anyone in need of an excellent personal injury/workers’ compensation attorney should seriously consider Eric Gritz, with the Law office of Bender & Gritz, downtown San Diego. The legal, administrative and serious medical challenges resulting from being the victim in a pedestrian/automobile incident were/are absolutely overwhelming. Eric Gritz and his assistants, Blanca and Victor dispatched a never-ending morass of seemingly impossible legal and medical billing tasks with ease and professionalism. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome thus far. Eric and his staff are not only competent and dedicated professionals, but also very enjoyable people with whom to work with. It is rare that one can be associated with team members this efficient who also possess a marvelous sense of humor. I am ever so grateful I found Eric Gritz …. excellent and the best!!!!

Eric and I have been adversaries in the workers compensation arena for over 15 years. As a defense attorney, I encounter numerous applicant’s attorneys. I can say with conviction, Eric and the attorneys at Bender & Gritz are the some of the best. Eric is smart, and always familiar with the latest developments, statutes and cases involving workers compensation. When Eric is my opposing counsel, I know I must bring my “A” game. Eric is a strong advocate for his clients but always maintains professionalism. When I am asked to recommend an applicant’s attorney, my first choice is always Eric.

2016 was a tough year for me. I had two near-death experiences, and surviving the second one was a miracle. I met with Eric Gritz in April 2017, and Eric’s level of confidence in my being awarded my SS benefits was reassuring. After nearly 2 years of going through the process of working with the SS administration, the efforts of Eric and his staff resulted in a positive outcome, as I was awarded my benefits in March 2019. During the 2 year wait, it was comforting to have excellent communication with Eric, Victor or any of the staff at Bender & Gritz. I knew at any time I could reach Eric or his staff, and that in itself made the months of waiting much more tolerable. I also appreciated Eric’s honesty during this time. Although my case was expected to have a positive outcome, Eric made sure I understood the potential of not being approved. I am grateful beyond words for the fully favorable decision! Thank you Eric.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
______________________
What is the statute of limitations in California?
The statute of limitations in California personal injury cases is ordinarily two years from the date the injury producing accident occurred. Generally speaking, this means that a lawsuit must be filed within two years of the accident, or the injured plaintiff will be barred from seeking recovery for his or her injuries.
However, the California Tort Claims Act sets out strict timelines that you must follow when filing a claim against a governmental entity. You must file a claim for personal injury (that is, one based on death, physical injury, or damage to personal property) within six months of the date of the injury. See e.g., Cal. Gov’t Code section 911.2. If you did not know the reason for filing the claim at the time of injury (for example, in some medical malpractice cases), the six-month time period begins at the point when you became aware, or should have become aware, of the reason. See, e.g., Whitfield v. Roth (1974) 10 C.3d 874, 112. You should always consult with a qualified personal injury attorney in your area following any accident where injuries occur.

Can you sue for a slip and fall?
It depends. In slip and fall cases the plaintiff is required to prove that he or she was injured as a result of a fall that was in whole, or in part, caused by the property owner or tenant’s negligence. If a plaintiff can successfully meet this burden he or she may be able to recover the following:
Past and future medical bills
Lost wages both immediately after the fall and possibly in the future if you are permanently debilitated
Pain and suffering
Potential future medical expenses
Loss of consortium, which means damage to your relationship with your spouse or family
You should always consult with a qualified personal injury attorney in your area following any accident where injuries occur.
Can you sue for getting bit by a dog?
Yes. In California, fault is based upon a theory of strict liability. Under strict liability laws, almost any injury a dog causes to another will be deemed the fault of the dog owner. However, there are a few exceptions such as trespassing.
The two key elements necessary to prove a California dog bite claim are:
That the defendant was the owner of the dog that attacked; and
That a dog bite occurred which resulted in injury
You should always consult with a qualified personal injury attorney in your area following any accident where injuries occur.
Can I claim for being a passenger in a car accident?
Yes. An injured occupant in another person’s vehicle can make a claim for their injuries against the driver that caused the accident. In the event a third-party caused the accident, a claim would be made with that individual’s insurance company. In the event the driver of the vehicle you were a passenger in caused the accident, a claim could be made against that individual’s policy. And, in certain circumstances, a claim can also be made with the injured occupant’s own automobile insurance policy. You should always consult with a qualified personal injury attorney in your area following any accident where injuries occur.
