A Different Kind of Personal Injury Firm
Before Brennan Quigley represented injury victims, he spent time on the other side — defending insurance companies against the exact kinds of claims we now handle. He knows the playbook insurers use to delay, dispute, and minimize what they owe you. He built this firm specifically to counter it.
We deliberately keep our caseload small. That's not a limitation — it's a choice. When you hire us, you get direct access to Brennan throughout your case, not a rotating cast of paralegals and junior associates. You'll know where your case stands because we'll tell you.
He started his career fighting for disabled and homeless individuals denied Social Security benefits. That work taught us something that still shapes how we practice: the people who need a lawyer the most are often the ones who feel most intimidated by the process. We built this firm to change that.
Our Services
What Kind of Accident Brought You Here?
We handle the full range of personal injury cases across San Diego and the surrounding communities. Each link below goes to a dedicated page with detail on how we approach that specific type of case.
Car Accidents
San Diego's busiest corridors produce some of the county's most serious collisions. We handle everything from rear-end crashes to high-speed freeway impacts, including hit-and-run, drunk driving, and distracted driving cases.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users, and insurers know it. We level the field.
Bicycle Accidents
Whether you were struck by a vehicle or knocked down by an opening door, bicycle accident victims face unique obstacles getting fair compensation.
Pedestrian Accidents
A pedestrian hit by a vehicle faces serious, sometimes life-altering injuries. We handle these cases throughout San Diego County.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they don't, we hold them accountable.
Dog Bites
California's strict liability law applies to most dog bite cases — but navigating neighbor or landlord disputes requires experience.
Rideshare Accidents
Uber and Lyft accidents involve layered insurance coverage that most attorneys aren't familiar with. We are.
Bus Accidents
Public transit and private bus companies carry their own insurance rules and liability frameworks. We know how to navigate them.
Child Injury Cases
When a child is injured — at school, on a playground, in a vehicle — the legal process involves additional protections and court oversight. We handle these cases with the care they require.
Negligent Security
If you were assaulted or robbed on someone else's property that lacked adequate security, the owner may be liable. Many victims don't realize this claim exists.
Assault and Battery
When a deliberate act causes injury, civil claims run parallel to any criminal proceedings. You may have more options than you think.
Medical Malpractice
We accept medical malpractice cases selectively, often through attorney referrals, when the facts and injuries warrant it.
Smaller Firm.
Bigger Attention.
Most personal injury firms in San Diego grow by volume — hundreds of cases, dozens of staff, and a system designed to settle fast and move on. We work differently, and the difference matters for your case.
- We limit our caseload on purpose. Every client deserves to know their attorney, have their calls returned, and understand what's happening with their case. That's only possible when we're not stretched thin.
- We know how the other side operates. Brennan spent years as an insurance defense attorney before switching sides. That experience gives us a genuine advantage when negotiating your settlement or preparing for trial.
- We treat people like people.
You may be dealing with physical pain, missed work, and mounting bills all at once. We work to make the legal process as clear and low-friction as possible so you can focus on recovering.
What Our Clients Say
FAQ
Common Questions from San Diego Injury Victims
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim in San Diego?
If someone else's negligence — a driver, property owner, business, or employer — caused your injury, you likely have a claim worth evaluating. The best way to find out is a free consultation where we review the facts, explain your options, and give you an honest assessment with no cost and no obligation.
What does "no fee unless you win" mean in practice?
It means you pay nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket while your case is active. Our fee comes as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, and only if we recover money for you. If we don't win, you don't owe us a fee.
Who will actually handle my case at your firm?
Brennan Quigley handles your case. We limit the number of cases we take on specifically so that clients work directly with their attorney — not a paralegal or junior associate. You'll have Brennan's direct contact information from day one.
How soon after an accident should I contact a personal injury lawyer in San Diego?
As soon as possible. Evidence fades, witnesses become harder to locate, and insurance companies begin building their defense the moment a claim is reported. California's statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years from the date of injury, but acting early gives your case the strongest possible foundation.
What makes Quigley different from other San Diego personal injury attorneys?
Brennan spent time working as a defense attorney for insurance companies before switching to the plaintiffs' side. He understands exactly how insurers assess claims, structure lowball offers, and build defenses — and he uses that knowledge to counter those tactics on your behalf. Combined with a deliberately small caseload, that means every client gets an attorney who is experienced, reachable, and genuinely focused on their outcome.
