San Diego Truck Accident Attorney
HELPING VICTIMS OF TRUCK ACCIDENTS IN SAN DIEGO SINCE 1979
Trucking accidents involving commercial vehicles and big rigs either pulling single or dual trailers, are typically very sophisticated and complex cases, and should only be handled by an experienced San Diego Truck Accident Attorney. Auto collisions involving these types of vehicles require extensive investigation and experience in order to obtain all of the relevant evidence to prove the responsibility, not only the driver accountable, but also his employer and others who might be jointly responsible for the maintenance and operation of the truck, and the trailers being pulled at the time that this type of incident occurs.
A Deep Understanding Of Cases Involving Truck Accidents
The maintenance and inspection records, required to be kept for these types of vehicles, are important to obtain as quickly as possible in order to make sure that the safety equipment, including the air braking systems, hydraulics, tires and other component parts were properly operating at the time that the vehicle was involved in an accident.The licensing and training of the operator is also an important area of inquiry that must be addressed in these types of cases.
Big rig operators or independent contractors are typically employed and hired by small trucking companies in Southern California. The minimum liability insurance coverage required by the State of California to be maintained for these vehicles can often be inadequate to fully compensate innocent victims of these types of accidents.
