Frequently Asked Questions

Why Choose BKHC

What sets our firm apart — our experience, our results, and how we work with you.

What makes BKHC different?

Two things. First, we're trial-tested — insurance carriers know we will take a case to court, which drives better settlements. Second, we handle both personal injury and workers' compensation in-house, a combination few San Diego firms offer — so we spot when an injured worker also has a separate injury claim and pursue both for maximum recovery.

Do you handle both personal injury and workers' comp?

Yes — and it matters. Many work injuries are caused partly by someone other than your employer (a driver, a subcontractor, defective equipment). When that's true you may have both a workers' comp claim and a personal injury lawsuit. Because we do both, we catch these cases and coordinate them. See Workers' Comp + Personal Injury.

How do your fees work — do I pay anything upfront?

Nothing upfront. Personal-injury cases are handled on contingency — our fee comes out of the recovery only if we win. Workers' comp fees are a judge-approved percentage of your award. Initial consultations are always free.

What are your results?

The attorneys at BKHC have recovered over $1 billion for injured clients across our personal-injury and workers'-comp practices. See our Verdicts & Settlements. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Do you have trial experience?

Yes. Most cases settle, but when an insurer won't offer fair compensation we're prepared to file suit and try the case. Our attorneys have decades of combined trial experience and have obtained substantial verdicts.

Will I work with an actual attorney, not a case manager?

Yes. You'll have direct access to your attorney. We return calls promptly and keep you informed at every stage of your case.

What if another firm turned down my case?

It's worth a second look. We've taken on — and won — cases other firms passed on, including difficult workers'-comp injuries and disputed-liability claims. A free consultation costs you nothing. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

What do your clients say?

See for yourself on our Client Reviews page — clients consistently highlight our communication, our care, and our results.
