Serving San Clemente Communities and All of Southern California

The residents and visitors of San Clemente get to enjoy its unmatched beauty and perfect weather, but they also have to put up with some of the worst traffic and road conditions in the country. Potholes, construction, traffic jams, and the accidents they cause are a constant reminder that San Clemente roads can be dangerous. Car accidents can affect thousands of lives in San Clemente every year. If you or a loved one has been injured in a serious car accident in San Clemente, contact an experienced San Clemente car accident attorney at Aitken * Aitken * Cohn today.

San Clemente Car Accident Information

According to the most recent (2017) California Highway Patrol statistics for San Clemente, there were 193,564 injury accidents, with 3,904 fatalities. With the crowded roads, frequent unsafe conditions, and thousands of tourists unfamiliar with the area, it’s only a matter of time before you may be involved (or know someone who is involved) in a serious accident.

If You Are In An Auto Accident

Following serious San Clemente car accidents, you should seek medical attention immediately. The documentation of injuries will be important to the case. Sometimes symptoms of serious injuries will not present themselves for several days. As soon as you are out of the hospital you should move to protect your interests by contacting our San Clemente car accident attorneys.

The sooner we start an investigation, the better your chances are for a full financial recovery. Important evidence can be lost or forgotten with time. In serious injury cases, we can come to your home or hospital.

client reviews

We are proud to have over 200 5-star reviews

This firm is 100% reliable and trustworthy.

No question about it, this firm is 100 percent reliable and trustworthy. I felt very comfortable about continuing my case with this firm based on the first impression they gave me: professional.

Jose L.

Extremely competent and really cared about our family.

The law firm provided us complete guidance and direction in our legal matter, but at the same time, they didn’t make our decisions for us. It sure was nice to have confidence in knowing we were going to be taken care of.

Andrea and Larry W.

This firm has a great reputation, even amongst other lawyers.

I was referred to by a lawyer friend and had Richard Cohn as my attorney. He was personable and compassionate, and took his time explaining everything to me. His assistant was also very personable and easy to contact.
