Coughlan & Vinel, LLP - Del Mar, California

Derek

I am incredibly grateful to have been represented by Kacie and co-counsel this past year. When I was struck by a car while in a crosswalk during a visit to San Diego, I didn't know where to go for legal support. I lived out of state, was recovering from surgery and a serious orthopedic injury, needed to take care of family matters, and had never dealt with an automobile personal injury matter before. From the start, Kacie was committed to pursuing justice for my injury and was always there with care and compassion to help me through recovery. I can't imagine navigating the insurance, legal and medical claim environment alone in a situation like this. I know that Kacie and co-counsel's persistence and thorough presentation of the case to the insurance companies clarified the incident to gain compensation for my injuries. Thank you, Kacie, for your guidance, professionalism, care and support!

When my teenaged son became the victim of a vicious hit-and-run attack, we were busy dealing with the medical and criminal aftermath. But we also needed help on the civil side to get some financial relief. Ben was highly recommended by a dear friend as the best in this field, and we were lucky to have him on our side.

He immediately came to visit us in person and explained the whole process. Over time, there were several unexpected twists and turns in the case involving out-of-network medical costs, the attacker's auto insurance, and our own insurance. Ben patiently explained the implications of all of this as it unfolded and made sure that we were clear on everything. He handled the day to day details so we could focus on my son's recovery, but always kept us informed. He made himself available by text, phone, and email at all hours.

Ben's advice, patience, negotiation skills, and support through all of the twists and turns have been invaluable. I am glad to say that we were able to arrive at a meaningful settlement that gives my son resources for his future. Our family is also grateful for heart and commitment throughout the process - thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

If you are looking for excellent personal injury attorneys, look no further - highly recommended without any reservations!

My life was flipped upside down. I suffered immensely, if it wasn't for Kacie and Ben I would not be here. From day one they took care of me and advocated for me. They were there for me emotionally, physically and spiritually. These amazing people are more than just attorney's. Kacie, Ben and their team have been there for me every step of the way. They took care of absolutely everything. They became a part of my family. I cannot thank them enough for what they have done for me. They changed my life. They are superior in every aspect. If you need a personal injury attorney please call them! They will advocate for you, they will take care of you!

Coughlan & Vinel helped me in a time of need. They were extremely helpful and dealt with all the insurance/doctor activities that I simply didn't have the knowledge to successfully complete myself. They are responsive, patient, and caring. They made sure to fight for me to get fairly compensated after my automobile accident. I would definitely recommend them to anybody who needs a personal injury attorney! Thank you C&V!

I was rear ended while driving on the freeway and it changed my life! I was so lost and confused and didn't know what to do. Thanks to Ben and Kacie my case is now over and I can take another step towards starting my new life. Ben and Kacie were very patient with me (I'm a stress ball) so I was always worrying about the "what if" or "have we heard anything from the other side" CONSTANTLY!! Not once did they make me feel as if I was bugging or asking dumb questions. They made sure I understood any of my concerns and even gave me peace of mind. At times it even felt as if Kacie was my therapist!! Of course with everything I had going on life kept throwing obstacles in my path to add to my already bad situation. Kacie Vinel always heard me out, giving me advice that always made me feel I was being taken care of and in good hands. Ben Coughlan was also awesome! He always made me feel comfortable and made sure I clearly understood what was going on. I really felt as if I was being helped in this horrible situation of mine by a friend and not just some man in a suit. I will always be grateful for everything Ben and Kacie did for me.

I was introduced to Kacie at Coughlin & Vinel, following a “slip and fall” accident that impacted my lifelong passion for playing the piano. I was immediately struck by Kacie’s compassion, sincerity and engaging personality. As she listened to my story, she validated what I had lost. Throughout the process, she provided direction, oversight and a simplified path for me to follow, helping me to know what to expect as the process unfolded. Until the issue was resolved, she continued to provide supportive, efficient and thorough advice. Under her leadership, we achieved a satisfactory outcome. Thank you Kacie!

I also appreciated Maria, the paralegal who assisted me along the way and was also a delight to work with.

Ben, and his paralegal, Maria, knocked it out of the park! They were attentive and kept me informed of the progress of my case from day one. Ben referred me to skilled medical providers, who prevented my injuries from becoming lifelong complications that could have affected my livelihood. I am so grateful to Ben and Maria! I recommend them enthusiastically and unequivocally. There is no better firm to handle your personal injury case than Coughlan & Vinel!

I have known Kacie for a long time and I am so very thankful for her help after my motorcycle accident. After losing my job as a D1 tennis coach, and almost losing my lower leg, Kacie stepped up and helped me figure everything out. She was awesome and walked me step by step through the process. She made that difficult time of my life, the beginning of a new, better life. I am forever thankful to Coughlan & Vinel for all their help 🙏🏽
