San Diego Truck Accident Attorney

Truck accidents are some of the most dangerous automobile because of the size and mechanics of trucks as well as the speeds they can reach. At the Gnau & Tamez Law Group, LLP, we frequently represent people involved in truck accidents, whether they’ve been injured, wounded or if a loved one has suffered a wrongful death. Our San Diego personal injury attorneys work hard to aggressively represent our clients involved in truck accidents to help them get the financial recovery they deserve under the law.

People involved in a truck accident are in need of a highly-skilled legal team that understands the difference between truck accidents and regular automobile accidents. While some of the same laws apply to trucks, there are special vehicle code sections which apply only to commercial truck drivers and trucking companies and there are special licensing and training requirements for truck drivers. In addition, manufacturers of trucks, truck parts manufacturers as well as truck drivers and their employers may be liable in ways that wouldn’t be the case for regular car accidents.

Truck Accident Law

At the Gnau & Tamez Law Group, LLP, we are well acquainted with the laws, statutes and regulations involved in truck accidents, as well as other important California laws. For example:

You may have a legitimate claim even if you are partially at fault in the accident.
Dangerous railroad crossings may make other entities liable.
Defective equipment or other mechanical defects will have different impacts on a case.
Driver errors (such as a drowsy driver or a driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol) can also greatly impact a case.

Our San Diego truck accident lawyers work with experts in a variety of fields before and during a trial to present the best possible case for our clients. Experts in truck mechanics, traffic accidents, road construction, truck driving and more can be utilized in these types of cases.

Case Study

Our client’s vehicle was rear ended on the freeway, when the defendant construction vehicle failed to slow for merging traffic. Despite his vehicle being a total loss, our client was able to “walk away from the scene.” However, persistent low back pain caused him to seek medical care and many months of medical treatment were necessary. He was diagnosed with serious injuries to his low back and spine that required surgery. Due to the extent of the injury and his youth, his doctors recommended disc replacement surgery which he could not afford. After the commencement of litigation but before trial, we resolved his claim for $375,000.
