Firm Information
Overview
Based in San Diego, California, Chihak & Associates is a distinguished law firm dedicated to advocating for victims of medical malpractice and personal injury throughout Southern California. With more than three decades of dedicated service, our firm has built a reputation for delivering uncompromising representation to individuals and families whose lives have been upended by negligence.
We handle a comprehensive range of claims, including medical malpractice arising from surgical errors, misdiagnosis or emergency room negligence; catastrophic injuries from auto, truck and motorcycle accidents; traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries; premises liability incidents; defective product cases and wrongful death claims.
Attorney Cynthia Chihak leads our practice, bringing a record that speaks for itself – she’s earned the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego’s Outstanding Trial Lawyer Award eight times, along with recognition from San Diego Magazine. What truly sets us apart is a courtroom-first mindset.
While some firms aim for quick settlements to sidestep the time and cost of litigation, we build every case as if it’s headed to trial – ready to argue, ready to prove and ready to win.
We’ll absolutely consider a fair settlement, but we won’t sign off on anything that undervalues what our clients are owed. That approach has delivered powerful outcomes, including a $10 million recovery in a wrongful birth case, $3 million in a premises liability case and $2 million for harm caused by a delayed cancer diagnosis.
Beyond securing financial recovery, we guide our clients through every stage of their healing journey, connecting them with trusted medical experts and specialists who help assess long-term care needs. Our collaborative relationships within the medical community ensure that compensation calculations reflect the true scope of each client's future requirements.
All of our personal injury and medical malpractice cases are handled on a contingency fee basis – so you don’t pay anything unless Chihak & Associates wins compensation for you. That way, you can put your energy into recovery while we pursue the outcome you deserve.
For added convenience, we accept credit cards, offer virtual appointments and provide free initial consultations.
