San Diego Truck-Car Accident Attorney

Have you been hit by a truck while driving in your car?

Many of the 6 million auto accidents that occur annually in the United States involve a car being hit by a truck. These accidents are often devastating for the individual or individuals in the car, due to the size differential between the two vehicles. Fully loaded, a semi truck can reach 40 tons in weight and nearly 75 feet in length, while a passenger car will usually only reach 2 tons in weight and 15-20 feet in length.

While these accidents can occur due to chance or some external factor, they are often the result of negligence on the part of the truck driver, the truck manufacturer, or the trucking company that operates the vehicle. If this is the case, the victims in the car are frequently entitled to compensation for their injuries by the responsible party. If you have sustained injury in a truck-car accident, a San Diego personal injury attorney is available to assist you in seeking fair compensation to cover the costs of your injuries and other damages.

Negligence in a truck-car accident can come from a variety of sources. The trucking company may have overworked their driver, leading to fatigue, or they may have improperly serviced the truck, causing some sort of mechanical failure. The trucking company that built the truck may have utilized defective parts, again resulting in some kind of mechanical failure. Or the truck driver may have been driving while distracted, or driving recklessly.
