Large-Firm Experience – Personal Attention To Your Case
At the Chivinski Law Firm, based in San Diego, we are committed to helping people who have complex legal problems. Our founding attorney, Andrew Chivinski, worked for large law firms defending insurance companies in personal injury and medical malpractice claims. He now brings this experience to your case, and uses the knowledge gained to help build a strong claim for you and your family.
We know that sometimes it might seem like you are up against impossible odds when an insurer or large corporation does not take your concerns seriously. We understand how this feels, and want you to know that we are committed to helping you get the results you need. We put your needs first, and will do whatever is necessary to get your claim the respect it deserves. If you are not being treated fairly in settlement discussions, we are willing to go to trial if it is in your best interests.

Helping Across A Wide Range Of Practice Areas
Our firm focuses much of its attention on medical malpractice and personal injury claims. Whether you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a hospital error, such as a missed diagnosis or wrong-site surgery, or you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, we are ready to help you prepare a strong claim for compensation. We will aggressively negotiate on your behalf with the insurance companies and are prepared for trial from the very moment we take on your case.
We also represent men and women serving in the armed forces who have suffered an injury at a military hospital in military medical malpractice cases. These are very technical in nature, and require the assistance of an attorney who understands the laws that apply to claims against the government. Whether you are stationed at Fort Hood, Fort Myer, Fort Bragg, Camp Pendleton or another military installation in the United States, we are able to represent you in these types of cases.
In addition to helping people who have been harmed due to the negligence of others, we also represent employees in disputes regarding discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination and other California employment law matters. Our depth of experience in these cases allows us to quickly identify if you have claim, and begin discussions with your employer to help you obtain the requested relief. We are not afraid to go up against the big corporations in these cases. We are dedicated to helping you preserve and protect your rights in employment disputes.
