About Truck Accidents In San Diego

Southern California is home to one of the nation’s busiest and hectic freeway systems with thousands upon thousands of motor vehicles sharing the road every day. According to data in a 2010 highway traffic report, California was reported to be the second most dangerous state to drive in, with almost 3,000 fatal accidents occurring in that year alone. Of those 3,000 fatalities, there were 235 accidents involving at least one big rig.

The city of San Diego is particularly vulnerable to trucking accidents due to the high volume of semi-trucks and 18-wheelers transporting cargo in and out of the city and to Mexico. It’s unfortunate that many California trucking companies tend to prioritize profits over safety, and as a result, hundreds of truck accidents happen annually.

The Barnes Firm is proud to be serving nearby areas: Solana Beach, Coronado, Del Mar, Encinitas, Poway, Carlsbad, Santee, La Mesa, Chula Vista, San Marcos, Oceanside, Vista, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley, Imperial Beach, El Cajon, and Escondido.

The Barnes Firm Helps Victims Of Truck Accidents

What Are the Main Causes of San Diego Commercial Truck Accidents?

While we would love to pin the cause of all trucking accidents on one thing, if we did, then we’d be able to eliminate them completely. However, there are many causes of truck accidents, most of which are preventable. Our San Diego truck accident attorneys have handled hundreds of truck and car wreck accidents over the years and have found that reckless driving and speeding are the leading cause in a lot of those accidents.

Other leading causes of semi-truck accidents include:

  • Improper turning
  • Driving while impaired (DUI/DWI)
  • Illegal parking on the shoulder
  • Improper loading of cargo
  • Poor truck maintenance
  • Driver error
  • Inclement weather

It doesn’t matter what the cause of the trucking accident was that you were involved in. What matters is having the best legal team on your side to help you navigate through the aftermath of it all. When litigating a trucking accident, our law firm will do a thorough inspection of the site of the wreck where we will collect and preserve evidence as well as hire an accident reconstruction expert if needed. No stone is ever left unturned when you hire the San Diego truck accident attorneys from The Barnes Firm.

Establishing Fault in a San Diego Trucking Accident

Another critical aspect of the truck accident litigation process is establishing fault. In some instances, determining fault is easy, like if the truck driver admits to fault or if the truck accident victim was rear-ended. However, there are some cases in which establishing fault is extremely difficult; it could be the truck company’s fault, the driver’s fault, or even the state because of poorly maintained roadways.

Our experienced truck and car accident lawyers from San Diego take quick action in every truck accident case we handle because we know time is of the essence. Truck companies and insurance companies are also trying to work quickly following an accident too, and we want to be the first on the scene. The Barnes law firm wants to ensure that liability lies with the responsible party before any evidence disappears like GPS and Blackbox data.

In order to get the maximum compensation for truck accident victims, our lawyers will do everything we can to establish fault as soon as possible.
