The San Diego freeways and highways are filled with big rigs and every day they is at least one big rig accident that occurs. When a smaller car is involved in an accident with a big risk, the injuries to those in the smaller vehicle are often catastrophic or even fatal. If you have been involved in a big rig accident in the San Diego area, you should speak with our experienced San Diego big rig accident lawyer to learn about your right to compensation if you are not the at fault driver.

Truck accidents can be the result of distractions, driving too fast, tire blow outs, overloaded trailers, improper maintenance of the big rig, following too close, lack of driver experience, driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driver fatigue, and aggressive driving behavior.

Big Rig Accident Injuries

Catastrophic injuries are a common outcome when a big rig accident occurs. Those injuries include:

• Broken bones
• Multiple fractures
• Head trauma
• Brain injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Internal injuries

These injuries can take a great deal of time to heal and sometimes there is not a full recovery. You want to make sure your compensation settlement reflects the seriousness of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning potential, long-term care, and emotional trauma. When a fatality occurs the family needs to make sure their rights are looked after too.
