- Personal InjuryPersonal Injury is a general term used to describe an area of the law that relates specifically to the representation of individuals who have been physically and/or emotionally hurt by the actions or inaction of others. In a narrow sense, personal injury means hurt or damage done to a man's or woman's person, such as a cut, or bruise, or broken limb, or the like, as distinguished from an injury to property.
- Medical MalpracticeThe Law Offices of Donald D. Hiney APC are located in downtown San Diego right on the trolley line and also in Eastlake as a convenience for our South Bay clients. A great deal of the practice is dedicated to representing victims of personal injury and medical malpractice. This includes any and all types of injuries including but not limited to automobile accidents, truck, bicycle, motorcycle, boating and aviation accidents, dog bites, construction accidents, slip & fall, and many work-related injures which often have personal injury aspects separate from workers compensation issues. Medical malpractice includes injuries and death stemming from avoidable birth injuries to all types of medical treatment performed outside of the accepted standards of care by doctors, hospitals, and all other medical providers.
