Why Clients in Chula Vista Choose Rawlins Law for Their Personal Injury Cases
We would not ask you to hire our firm if we weren’t worthy of your trust. The truth is, the Rawlins Law team has a well-documented reputation for legal excellence, and we give you many reasons to hire us for your personal injury case in Chula Vista, including:

There is no mystery about who is accountable for your case. When you hire Rawlins Law, you can rest assured that an experienced Chula Vista personal injury attorney represents you.
We Have Recovered Millions for Our Clients
We represent clients with a wide range of health problems and challenges, from physical injuries to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and significant financial losses. We always calculate each client’s damages accurately (every client and case is unique) and fight for full and fair compensation.
Some of Rawlins Law’s notable settlements and verdicts include:
- $500,000 for a client who was rear-ended in a car accident
- $250,000 for a car accident victim
- $100,000 for a car accident victim
Each of these recoveries, and many others, took less than a year to secure.
We have secured many large recoveries for clients, and 90 percent of our cases settle within one year. This means we lead cases with a sense of urgency that ensures your case will not drag on—you deserve to move on with your life, and we’ll work hard to ensure you can.
We Consider Clients (Including You) Family
Our team believes that effective representation requires a personal investment in our clients. In fact, we consider everyone we represent to be members of our firm’s family.
Our personal approach to representation means:
- You will have a direct relationship with your attorney
- Your lawyer will show you the utmost respect and compassion
- You will be encouraged to call your attorney anytime you have a question or concern
- We will travel to you whenever you need us to
- You will feel at ease throughout the entirety of your case
We consider it a duty to make the insurance claims and legal proceedings as painless as possible for you.
We Hold Liable Parties and Insurance Companies Accountable
Insurance companies’ motivations rarely align with our clients' interests. The insurer and other liable parties may try to pay you as little compensation as possible. On the other hand, we intend to get you as much money as possible.
Insurance companies must stand behind the policies they issue. Your Chula Vista personal injury lawyer from Rawlins Law will insist that insurers or others who owe you compensation pay every dollar they owe you.
We Take Cases in Chula Vista to Trial
While most personal injury cases lead to settlements agreed to by all parties, trials are sometimes necessary. The Rawlins Law team does not hesitate to take cases to trial.
Trials require significant financial resources, time, and effort. Some law firms shy away from court, but attorney Ashley Rawlins and her team offer fearless representation and never back down from a legal challenge.
We Will Provide Essential Financial Support for Your Case
Rawlins Law uses a contingency fee arrangement, which benefits you as a client because:
- Rawlins Law pays the cost to complete your insurance claim or lawsuit
- We require no upfront fee or out-of-pocket costs from you
- Your Chula Vista personal injury attorney only receives their fee if they obtain a financial recovery for you
- We invest our time, effort, and resources into your case without you having to bear any financial burden
Using this contingency fee arrangement means we have a financial incentive to win as much compensation as possible for you. This fee structure also means you can afford to hire Rawlins Law even if you face financial uncertainty—we will work hard to put you on solid financial ground.
We Will Make Your Claim or Lawsuit as Painless as Possible
The Rawlins Law team takes a human approach to the law. We don’t just want to get results; we also want you to recover and feel at ease as we lead your case.
Our Chula Vista personal injury attorneys will make your claim or lawsuit painless by:
- Traveling to you for all case-related appointments
- Providing all information and instruction you need to be fully informed and at peace about your case
- Overseeing every case-related responsibility and detail so you can focus on recovery
- Helping you make all important case-related decisions, including whether to accept any settlement offer, file a lawsuit, or go to trial
We have helped many clients receive fair compensation while they rest and recover from injuries. The Rawlins Law team will do the same for you.

Services Your Chula Vista Personal Injury Lawyer Will Perform on Your Behalf
Part of our mission to make your case as painless as possible includes handling every responsibility for you. Personal injury cases are often complicated, and each case presents different responsibilities and challenges. Some of the services we provide personal injury clients in Chula Vista include:
Securing Evidence, Even When It Is in Liable Parties’ Possession
Your personal injury lawyer will secure any available evidence that the at-fault party or parties caused you harm.
This evidence can vary depending on your case and unique circumstances, and may include:
- Eyewitness accounts
- Photographs of damaged property
- Expert testimony about who is at fault for your damages
- Video footage (which can show events like slip and fall accidents and motor vehicle accidents)
- Reconstructions of accidents
Our team is diligent and quick-acting in securing evidence. Many forms of evidence are time sensitive, so we must obtain the evidence right away. If liable parties have evidence in their possession, we will file a letter of spoliation requiring them to hand over that evidence.
Proving That Liable Parties’ Negligence Caused You Harm
Our team will prove that liable parties committed negligence in causing you harm, which requires us to:
- Establish the duty of care: When someone has a duty of care, they must act reasonably to shield others from potential harm.
- Prove the liable party breached the duty of care: If someone acts unreasonably based on the given circumstances, they may violate their duty of care. Your Chula Vista personal injury lawyer will use evidence to prove how the liable parties violated their duty of care.
- Establish that the breach of duty of care caused your damages: We will prove the link between the liable parties’ breach of duty of care and the harm you suffered.
- Prove the damages resulting from the liable parties’ negligence: In the final step of proving negligence, our team will prove the damages you have suffered because of that at-fault parties’ negligence. This may include your medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost income as well as other damages.
Our team has significant experience in establishing negligence and will get you the compensation you deserve under California law.
Documenting All of Your Recoverable Damages
Our team will detail the damages you’ve faced because of the liable parties involved in your case. We may build your case using:
- Images of your injuries, such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans
- Medical bills
- An expert’s evaluation of your pain and suffering
- Invoices related to property damage, such as vehicle repairs
- Any other documentation that proves the harm negligent parties have caused you
You must prove your damages in your case, and we will show beyond a doubt the harm you suffered.
Calculating How Much Compensation You Deserve
Your Chula Vista personal injury attorney will calculate the value of each of your damages. We will include any future damages you might face, such as pain and suffering, medical costs, lost income, and rehabilitation-related expenses.
Fighting for a Settlement
Rawlins Law has a proven track record of negotiating large settlements for clients. We will identify who owes you compensation—which may include one or more insurance companies—and present our detailed settlement demands in a timely manner.
At-fault and liable parties do not always offer fair settlements. We are prepared to negotiate zealously on your behalf, and we intend to secure a settlement that pays you fairly for your damages.
Filing a Lawsuit, If You Want To
Liable parties often provide fair compensation through settlement negotiations. However, if those responsible for your damages do not offer the compensation you deserve, we are prepared to take your case to trial.
Recoverable Damages We Will Pursue on Your Behalf
Personal injury cases run the gamut, from dog bites to auto accidents and work-related injuries. The common thread between every case is damages, as everyone we represent has suffered some type of harm because of someone else’s negligence.
The Rawlins Law team will complete a thorough investigation of your damages, and we expect that you may deserve compensation for:
Healthcare Expenses
We often represent clients facing medical bills for diagnostic imaging, emergency services, surgeries, and many other services and items related to their health. Your Chula Vista personal injury attorney will identify all of your covered medical expenses and include them in our settlement demands.
Pain and Suffering
You deserve fair compensation for:
- Lost quality of life
- Physical pain
- Scarring and disfigurement
- PTSD, depression, anxiety, and any other diagnosed conditions
We will work to secure the compensation you deserve for these and other non-economic damages.
Professional Damages
Know that the Rawlins Law team will demand fair compensation for any lost income, diminished earning power, and other professional damages related to your case.
