San Diego Truck Accident Attorneys
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
At Arendsen Braddock LLP, some of our most experienced attorneys not only represent motorcycle riders, but we ride ourselves. We are proud to have gotten some exceptional results for our motorcycle clients and we understand that motorcycle cases can present unique challenges and very serious injuries.
Often the police try to blame motorcycle riders for accidents, regardless of who’s really at fault. We deal with these stereotypes all the time and send out our own team of independent experts to investigate the accident and find out what really happened. Our experienced trial attorneys then go to work to fight the insurance companies and hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions. If you’re in need of medical care, we also make sure you get to the best doctors to get the treatment you need for your injuries. We fight to get you all the compensation you deserve, including money for your pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, physical impairments, deformities, and other injuries. We also recover money for spouses or other family members whose relationships have suffered as a result of serious injuries to their loved ones.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Because trucks are so much larger than your standard car or SUV, trucking accidents can cause severe consequences. In fact, 1 in 8 car accidents are caused by large trucks like tractor-trailer trucks or semi-trucks. In many cases, those 1 in 8 drivers are killed by the trucking accident while the truck driver gets to walk away with minor injuries or, commonly, unharmed. Since tractor-trailer and semi-trucks are so large, there are federal and state regulations that put standards on size, upkeep, and weight of the trucks to protect everyday drivers. When these trucks are on the road, you often see checkpoints where they are required to stop, and at these checkpoints, it’s often discovered that many trucking companies still evade regulations. If you’ve been injured by a truck or trucking collision and the company is in violation of regulations, that’s where we come in!
In the world of trucking, there are violations in reference to negligence. This means that if a truck doesn’t keep up with standard maintenance - required routine service intervals - and you are injured because of their negligence, you could be eligible for compensation. Negligence can come in the form of
- Driving while intoxicated
- Failing to take rest breaks
- Speeding or failing to use turn signals
- Driving while using a cell phone
- Failure to secure cargo
- Failure to keep up with tire care (causing flying debris)
- And more!
While drivers are more commonly injured by negligence than by a collision itself, you are still eligible to sue for truck accident negligence – just contact us to review your case!
While you can sue trucking companies for negligence, you can also sue for other truck accident-related effects like
personal injury, TBIs, maintenance costs to repair your car, therapy, surgery and more! California is known for being an aggressive state when it comes to driving, and it’s no different for truckers! There are many places in the San Diego area where truck accidents are common because truck drivers fail to use turn signals, cut off drivers or are carrying too large of a load to share the road. Common areas in San Diego that we’ve seen truck accidents are
University Ave, El Cajon Boulevard, Coronado Ave and 6th Ave and Broadway.
These intersections have little visibility, and when combined with aggressive driving and failure to use blinkers, you are looking at a truck accident in the making!
