San Diego Truck Accident Attorney

We start by learning what happened, the injuries or loss your family has suffered, and what information is already available. We review relevant records and give you a candid assessment of whether we believe we can help. The consultation is confidential and there is no obligation to hire us.

We move quickly to investigate the crash and preserve critical evidence. That may include the vehicles and crash scene, witness accounts, photographs and video, electronic vehicle data, driver logs, dash-cam footage, dispatch records, and maintenance documents that could otherwise be lost or overwritten.

We investigate why the crash happened and who is responsible. We may examine driver qualifications, hours-of-service records, training and supervision, dispatch practices, inspections, maintenance, cargo loading, and company safety policies. When appropriate, we work with trucking safety experts, accident reconstructionists, engineers, and other specialists.

We work with our clients, their families, doctors, and appropriate experts to understand the full consequences of the injury or death. That can include medical expenses, future care, lost earnings, disability, pain, loss of independence, and the many ways a catastrophic injury or death changes a family’s life. We also identify all potentially responsible parties and available insurance coverage.

Once we have developed the evidence, we present the case to the responsible companies and their insurers. We address attempts to shift blame or minimize the injuries, evaluate settlement offers with our clients, and negotiate from the strength of the case we have built.

When a fair resolution is not possible, we are prepared to litigate the case through discovery, depositions, expert work, motions, and trial. We develop the evidence to withstand the defense and use testimony, documents, experts, graphics, and demonstrative evidence to show a jury what happened, why it happened, and what the crash has meant for our client and their family.
