Truck Accident Attorney in San Diego

Liability in a truck accident in San Diego is determined by who was at fault for the accident. This can involve the truck driver, the trucking company, manufacturers of truck parts, or other third parties such as construction companies and government agencies. After reviewing your case, your attorney will help you establish liability for the accident.

In San Diego, truck accidents usually occur due to:

• driver fatigue due to working long hours without breaks;
• distracted driving, especially the use of mobile phones, radios, and navigation systems;
• speeding;
• mechanical failures;
• improper loading; and 
• failure to follow traffic laws. 

In some cases, environmental factors like road conditions and weather can also play a role. An attorney from our team can help establish the cause behind the accident and also identify whoever was responsible.

Among other factors, the compensation you may be entitled to will depend on the following:

• the extent of injuries;
• whether there was property damage;
• whether you lost wages or your earning potential;
• current and future medical expenses and related costs; and
• the extent of pain and suffering (usually measured on a scale of one to five). 

In San Diego and throughout California, the statute of limitations for filing a truck accident claim is two years from the date of the accident. However, certain circumstances can alter this deadline, which is why you should seek immediate legal representation.

An attorney can navigate the complex legal and insurance processes on your behalf, file a claim or lawsuit, negotiate with insurance companies, and ensure you receive fair compensation. They are experts in handling truck accident cases, which often involve multiple parties and complex liability issues.
