San Diego Truck Accident Attorneys

Injuries from truck accidents can be severe, especially for the driver of the car and his or her passengers. In a collision with an 18 wheeler, the big rig usually wins, because a semi weighs up to 80,000 lbs. while American passenger cars weigh 3000 - 4000 lbs.

Besides the extra weight, a tractor trailer needs much longer stopping distance than a car. If a semi driver misjudges distance and causes a collision, the passenger car will sustain far more damage.

Pursuing Money Damages

If the fatal accident was caused by negligence and caused the death of a loved one, you may have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. The court looks at a number of issues, including how much your family member made and how much they contributed to the welfare of your family. Related expenses such as hospital bills and funeral costs are also considered.

If your injuries from the truck accident are severe, you can count on Walters & Caietti to pursue maximum compensation. Our attorneys know how insurance companies work, and what techniques they use to deny policy holders coverage.

If we determine that your injury was caused by a defective product, our attorneys can pursue compensation through a third-party insurance claim.

We can also look at negligence on the part of the tractor-trailer driver, maintenance records for the semi, and the semi driver's safety record.
