Hurt in an Accident in San Diego? Start With a Free Case Evaluation
If you were injured in San Diego in a car accident, a fall, or any incident caused by someone else's negligence, the Law Office of Michael Yap will evaluate your case for free. We assess what happened, explain your options in plain language, and when your case calls for a dedicated personal injury litigator, we connect you with trusted San Diego counsel. If your injury happened at work, we handle the workers' compensation claim ourselves.
What we do for personal injury inquiries
- Free evaluation. We listen to what happened, look at the facts, and tell you honestly whether you have a case worth pursuing.
- The work injury check. Many injuries have both a personal injury claim and a workers' compensation claim, for example a delivery driver hit by a negligent motorist while on the job. We identify both sides so nothing is left on the table. That combination is our specialty.
- The right attorney for your case. When a case needs a dedicated personal injury firm, we refer you to counsel we trust and stay available for the workers' comp side.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a consultation cost?
Nothing. Case evaluations are free, and injury cases are handled on contingency, so fees come out of a recovery, not your pocket.
What if my injury happened at work but a stranger caused it?
You may have two claims: a workers' compensation claim against your employer's insurance and a personal injury claim against the person who hurt you. We evaluate both.
How long do I have to file?
Deadlines are short and vary by case type. Contact us as soon as you can after an injury so nothing is lost to a missed deadline.
