Truck Accident Lawyer in San Diego

An Overview of Truck Accidents in the U.S.

Of the 6 million motor vehicle accidents that take place in the United States every year, a substantial percentage is made up of those that involve trucks.  Truck accidents can be much more severe than those that involve only passenger cars, as trucks are substantially larger and heavier than even the largest pickups and SUVs.  A Semi truck, when fully loaded, can easily approach 80,000 pounds in weight, and can be up to 75 feet long.  By comparison, most passenger vehicles weight 3,000-5,000 pounds, and are only 15-20 feet in length.

Many truck accidents are a result of negligence, on the part of the trucking company, the truck manufacturer, or the driver themselves.  In cases where negligence is involved, the victims may be entitled to financial compensation from the responsible party or parties.  A San Diego personal injury attorney is available to help you if you are seeking compensation after being injured in a truck accident that was not your fault.

Have you been harmed in a truck accident?

Trucking accidents that involve negligence can be caused by a variety of factors.  The driver of the truck may have been driving aggressively, or driving while distracted or fatigued.  The trucking company may have been lax in properly maintaining the truck, or they may have worked the driver more hours than is legal.  Or the trucking manufacturer may have built the truck using defective parts.  Whatever the cause of the accident, the victims involved have the right to fight for injury compensation to cover their post-accident expenses.  The Law Offices of Andrew Stewart is available to assist you if you are seeking compensation after a truck accident.  We can provide you with high quality legal service that is designed to increase your chances of a wholly beneficial outcome to your case.  Contact our offices today, and we will work diligently with the goal of obtaining full restitution for the damages you have suffered.
