Dana Point Personal Injury Lawyer
With a population of just under 34,000 and an area of around 6.75 square miles, you wouldn’t necessarily think of Dana Point as a dangerous place to live. The truth of the matter is that it isn’t particularly dangerous, but any personal injury attorney knows that accidents can happen anywhere, and when they do, you may not have a lot of time to plan your next move. If you’ve been injured in an accident in Dana Point or any of the surrounding areas, you need to get medical attention and then discuss your accident with an attorney who specializes in personal injury.
Timothy J. Ryan & Associates is a Southern California personal injury law firm. We represent accident victims on a contingency basis. That means that you only pay once we settle or successfully litigate your case. Call today for a free consultation with one of our seasoned personal injury lawyers.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Dana Point
Timothy J. Ryan and Associates is a full-service personal injury law firm. We handle a variety of cases and have multiple settlements that reach well into the seven-figure range. Among the types of cases our law firm handles are:
Car and Motor Vehicle Accidents
With their high speeds and tremendous weights, vehicles are a threat to drivers, passengers, bicyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, etc. California has some of the most dangerous roads in the nation and we see more deaths as a result of vehicle crashes than any other state in the nation.
Slip and Fall Injuries
Whether it’s a retail store, a government building, or office space, the proprietors and owners of property owe a duty of care to their invitees. If you have been injured while visiting a property, you may have a case. Call today before vital evidence is lost.
Medical Malpractice
Healthcare facilities and their staff owe their patients the highest standard of care possible. There are several ways that a doctor or healthcare professional can commit malpractice: failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, prescribing the wrong medication, etc. If you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice, call our Dana Point location to discuss the details of your case.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one in an accident is not only emotionally devastating; it can be a disruption to your entire future. If you’ve lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, we can help you seek justice through the courts. This may also apply in criminal cases where someone was intentionally or accidentally killed.
Product Liability
The manufacturers of products owe a standard of care to consumers who use them. That means that every product has to perform as designed, the design has to be safe, and the instructions need to be clear and understandable. Timothy J. Ryan & Associates handles product liability cases involving design defects, manufacture defects, and failure to provide adequate instruction.
Workers’ Compensation Claims
If you’ve been injured in an accident at work, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits under California law. Unlike other types of personal injury cases, your employer is required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which will pay you out fixed benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases
As some of Southern California’s top personal injury lawyers, the attorneys at TJ Ryan & Associates hear many questions from our vast body of clients. These are some of the most common questions, along with our answers.
How do personal injury law firms get paid?
Personal injury firms in California are paid on a contingency basis. That means that there are no out-of-pocket costs for the client.

Once your case is settled, the attorney fee comes out before you receive your check.
What’s the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in CA?
The statute of limitations for a personal injury claim expires two years after the date of the accident or from the date of death in a wrongful death suit.
What kind of damages am I entitled to?
The answer to this question varies in every case, but for most personal injury cases, the plaintiff can usually recover damages for all medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. In addition, they can usually recover pain and suffering damages depending on the extent of the accident.
