Advantages of working with peck law in San Diego County

Extensive experience across Los Angeles

We operate on a contingency fee basis for all injury-related cases, including elder abuse claims. This means you pay no upfront fees, and we only get paid if we win your case.

Dedicated and personalized support

From your free consultation through settlement or verdict, you work directly with an experienced personal injury attorney — not a case manager or paralegal — so your case always receives the focused, responsive legal representation it deserves.

Aggressive negotiation tactics that get results

We enter every negotiation backed by thorough evidence, expert testimony, and a genuine willingness to take cases to trial — which consistently produces stronger settlements than insurers offer unrepresented victims.

Strong track record of successful settlements

Peck Law Corporation has recovered significant compensation for injury victims and families across California in nursing home neglect, elder abuse, car accident, slip and fall, and wrongful death cases.

Contingency fee policy that works in your favour

You pay absolutely nothing unless we win your case — no upfront retainers, no hourly fees, no out-of-pocket costs at any stage. Our fee comes only from the compensation we recover for you.

Community involvement in Los Angeles

As a California-based personal injury law firm, we are deeply invested in the safety and wellbeing of the communities we serve — advocating not just for individual clients, but for higher care standards and greater accountability across the state.

Personal relationships across many Los Angeles courts

Our attorneys have built longstanding professional relationships with the courts, mediators, and opposing counsel active in Los Angeles — local knowledge that translates directly into more efficient case resolution and stronger outcomes for our clients.
Why peck law

Why San Diego County Families Choose Peck Law Corporation

San Diego County's extensive network of nursing homes, VA facilities, and care centers — combined with the county's growing elderly and veteran population — makes elder abuse and nursing home negligence a significant and persistent problem. At the same time, the county's high-traffic corridors, including I-5, I-8, I-15, and SR-94, generate thousands of serious car accident injuries annually. Peck Law Corporation's focused expertise across all of these practice areas means San Diego County clients receive representation that is specifically tailored to the types of cases most common in their community.

Thorough, Independent Investigation

Building a winning case requires moving quickly before evidence disappears. Our attorneys act immediately to preserve police reports, surveillance footage, medical records, facility inspection logs, and witness statements. We work with medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and investigators to establish clear liability and maximize the value of your claim.

Elder Abuse & Nursing Home Neglect in San Diego County

San Diego County's large population of retirees, veterans, and elderly residents is served by hundreds of licensed nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and VA-affiliated care centers. When those facilities abuse or neglect their residents, the consequences can be devastating — and the institutions will do everything in their power to avoid accountability. Our nursing home abuse attorneys know how to break through those defenses and secure the justice and compensation your family deserves.

No Fees Unless We Win

Financial hardship should never stand between your family and justice. Peck Law Corporation handles all personal injury, elder abuse, and wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. Our commitment is to your family's outcome, not your upfront finances.

From our first phone call to the end of the case, Mr. Peck did an excellent job.
Spencer Peck was referred to me by another attorney. From our first phone call to the end of the case, Mr. Peck did an excellent job with setting expectations. This was for my mom who was in a skilled nursing / long term care facility. Spencer did a phenomenal job from start to finish on this case. He was prompt on updates and if I had any questions he was quick to respond. He took the time to explain each step along the way. My mom, dad and I are very pleased with the outcome and conclusion of this case. I would highly recommend Mr. Peck.

Very knowledgeable, professional, and straight to the point — five stars!
Mr. Peck was very knowledgeable, very professional, very polite and straight to the point on getting the case resolved in the best way possible for his client to get a good settlement. If I have any other legal issues that Mr. Peck can handle, I will be going to him first. I have dealt with lawyers in the past that liked to lie or not give it to you straight, and that wasn't the case with Mr. Peck. I will be referring family members and friends that I think he might be able to help with any incident case. Five stars and 2 thumbs up.

Unmatched professionalism, expertise and genuine dedication to my case.
I was recently represented by Spencer Peck for an automobile accident and from start to finish, he demonstrated unmatched professionalism, expertise and genuine dedication to my case. He actively listened to my concerns, thoroughly explained legal jargon, and ensured that I fully understood every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Spencer to all my friends and family. If you're seeking legal representation that is second to none, call Spencer Peck — he is worthy of a solid 5 star rating.

Up front about the process and incredibly supportive from the start.
A friend of mine got into a car accident and I sent them over to Spencer and Anna. Anna was incredibly supportive and called to check in after we went to urgent care. Spencer called later to get some details and go over nuances of the case I don't think she or I would have ever considered. Up front about what the process is like and how they'll be supporting her in the following months.

Spencer went above and beyond — Peck Law will always be our go-to!
Peck Law was able to fully resolve our matter within a few months and we have never felt safer and well taken care of. Spencer went above and beyond to help us resolve our issue and we were able to stay within budget while getting top tier representation. Spencer is very professional and at the same time makes you feel like family! We love the fact that we were constantly being provided new information regarding our matter and new avenues of resolution. As a business owner in LA, going forward, Peck Law will always be our go-to!

Walked through every step of the process — couldn't be happier!
I had gotten into my first car accident and didn't know what to do. I saw the billboard for Peck Law, gave it a shot and couldn't be happier with my results. I was walked through and updated on every step of the process which made it way less stressful for me to worry about or deal with. The process was pretty fast and all my needs were met. Great guy, 5 stars.

Spencer kept me informed throughout — easy to reach, great outcome.
After grieving for 6 months following the loss of my aunt at a negligent nursing home facility, I decided to reach out to a lawyer. After multiple inquiries to other law firms I decided to hire Attorney Spencer Peck. Spencer kept me informed throughout the process. It was easy to reach him if I had any additional questions. He was aware that our efforts were to possibly make a change of procedures at the nursing home to prevent another family from going through what our family went through. He was able to settle the case out of court for an amount which hopefully will make changes at the facility for the better. I want to thank Spencer for his help.

Spencer did a great job representing me — I would definitely recommend him.
Spencer was great, he was very attentive. Spencer arranged rides to doctor appointments and therapy sessions and he was on top of the case all the time. I do have considerable injury and Spencer was able to get the full insurance policy amount. He worked with the doctors and services to get them to reduce the price and I felt that Spencer did a great job representing me. I am satisfied with all the work Spencer did on my behalf. I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a good personal injury attorney. Thank you Spencer!

Very thorough, explained everything in plain terms — very satisfied!
I found Spencer through a friend. I needed my business contract to be reviewed in a short time frame. Spencer was very thorough with reviewing everything, and actually took the time to explain to me what it meant in lay person terms. I always received a call back or email promptly. Overall, very satisfied and if I ever need additional help Spencer will be my go to attorney to call.

I had called the right guy
I googled accident lawyers and called two before I got to Peck Law. Both of them blew me off. Not Spencer Peck. I could tell in about 5 minutes that I had called the right guy. Not for one minute did I feel like he was slacking or lacking in any way. He was on the ball constantly. He would contact me without me contacting him first. He was prompt in responses and didn't ignore me. After about 2 months the case was settled and he wrote me a check — he did NOT play games with my money. Spencer Peck knew there was a case and handled it. The man is a good lawyer and will put you at ease with the way he communicates with you.

Outstanding job on behalf of my family
Spencer with the Peck Law Group did an outstanding job on behalf of my family, following the tragic loss of my father. His dedication, professionalism and compassion during such an emotional time are more than words can express. From our first conversation we knew he would do an exceptional job! He took the time to listen to us and explain how the process would work. We truly appreciated the value you brought to our case through your expertise and dedication.

We fight for financial compensation to cover medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages. Our goal is to ensure justice for victims and prevent further abuse.

What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in San Diego County?

In San Diego County, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1. This applies to car accident claims, slip and fall injuries, and most other personal injury cases. Wrongful death claims also carry a two-year deadline from the date of death. For elder abuse claims, the two-year clock generally runs from the date the abuse occurred or was discovered. Important exceptions apply: if the responsible party is a government entity — such as a city, county, or public hospital — you typically have only six months to file an administrative claim before you can pursue a lawsuit. Missing these deadlines permanently eliminates your right to seek compensation, regardless of how strong your case is. If you have been injured or lost a loved one in San Diego County, do not wait. Contact Peck Law Corporation for a free consultation today.

How do I report nursing home neglect in San Diego County?

If you suspect that a loved one is being neglected in a San Diego County nursing home, you should report your concerns to multiple agencies. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) investigates complaints about all licensed skilled nursing facilities in the state. The San Diego County Long-Term Care Ombudsman advocates for nursing home residents and can investigate quality-of-care complaints. For financial abuse, contact Adult Protective Services (APS). In emergencies, call 911 immediately. Beyond regulatory reporting, filing a civil lawsuit is often the most effective path to real accountability — and the only way to recover compensation for your loved one's suffering. Regulatory findings can also strengthen your civil case. Read our step-by-step guide on how to report nursing home abuse in California. Then contact Peck Law Corporation for a free consultation about your San Diego County case.

Are VA nursing homes in San Diego subject to California's elder abuse laws?

This is an important and nuanced question. VA-operated nursing homes and Community Living Centers (CLCs) are federally operated facilities, which means California's state elder abuse statutes — including the EADACPA — do not apply directly to claims against the federal government. Instead, claims against VA facilities are typically governed by the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), which has its own filing requirements and limitations. However, privately operated nursing homes in San Diego County that contract with the VA or accept veterans as patients are generally subject to California state elder abuse and negligence laws. If your veteran loved one was harmed in a San Diego care facility — whether VA-operated or private — it is critical to consult an attorney immediately to understand which legal framework applies and what your family's rights are. Contact Peck Law Corporation for a free consultation about your specific situation.

How do I find an elder abuse attorney in San Diego County?

San Diego County's large population of retirees, veterans, and elderly residents — combined with its extensive network of nursing homes, VA-affiliated facilities, and assisted living centers — makes finding the right elder abuse attorney critical. Look for a firm that specializes specifically in elder abuse and nursing home negligence, understands California's EADACPA and Penal Code 368, and works on a contingency fee basis with no upfront costs. Peck Law Corporation handles elder abuse and nursing home abuse claims throughout San Diego County — from Chula Vista and National City to Escondido, Carlsbad, Oceanside, and the City of San Diego — with the experience and resources to hold negligent facilities and abusers fully accountable. Contact us today for a free, confidential consultation.
