If You've Been Injured in a Truck Accident
San Diego Truck Accident Lawyer
With an interstate highway connecting California to Mexico and the rest of the U.S., we have an enormous number of trucks and commercial vehicles passing through the San Diego area-and a large number of serious injuries caused when these trucks collide with passenger vehicles.
Attorney Alicia Slaughter at the San Diego law firm of Alicia A. Slaughter, Attorney at Law, represents people who have been seriously injured or families who lost a loved one when an interstate semi truck, tractor trailer, or commercial vehicle collided with their vehicle.
If you or a loved one was seriously injured in a truck accident, contact the law office of Alicia A. Slaughter to protect your rights to financial recovery. We get to the bottom of your case, proving who was at fault and getting you the full compensation you need to find physical, emotional and financial recovery in collisions or crashes involving:
- Semi-truck rollovers
- Tire blowouts, brake failure or other mechanical failures in a commercial truck or van
- Jack-knifed trucks
- Under-ride accidents with flatbed trucks and tractor trailers
- Over-ride accidents with big rigs and 18-wheelers
Proving Cause in a Trucking Accident
A truck accident can be the result of driver fatigue, driver negligence, or it can be caused by misconduct on the part of the driver or the trucking company. A mechanical failure can result if a truck is overloaded beyond what the truck-and it's brakes-can safely carry. Too small or too large a load can also lead to problems securing cargo that can fly off the top of a flatbed or shift around within a semi truck, causing the truck to sway and tip. There is also the problem of truck drivers working excessive hours.
We have years of experience handling truck accident cases. We know how to investigate these accidents to uncover misconduct and falsified driver logs. We have used GPS technology in the past to locate drivers and track their routes.
It is critical to have an experienced attorney involved as soon as possible in a truck accident or 18-wheeler wreck, before valuable evidence you need to prove your personal injury claim is lost or destroyed.
