San Diego Truck Accident Attorney

TRUCK ACCIDENT

California has 2 of the nation’s largest ports making it a pivotal state for transportation of goods by commercial trucks known as 18 wheelers, tractor trailers and freight trucks.
Drivers are hired to transport these goods long distances which can lead to driving longer hours, aggressiveness on the road, or faulty mechanics within the truck.

Fully loaded semi-trucks typically weigh around 80,000 pounds, making the outcome in an accident devastating to those involved. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 398 people were killed in large truck crashes in California in 2020. This is a 41% increase over the last decade.

If you are involved in an accident in San Diego it is imperative to consult an expert attorney that will advocate for your rights. Often companies owning semi-trucks typically deploy specialized teams to minimize financial risks following such accidents. These teams may gather evidence and witnesses that may be detrimental to your case, knowing that victims and their families may be entitled to substantial settlements. As such, it is critical to have an assertive attorney on your side, who will leave no stone unturned in advocating for your interests.
