Each year in California, more than 300 people are killed and more than 4,000 people are injured in truck accidents involving large big rigs & 18 wheelers. As a regional hub and major transportation corridor, the San Diego area has more than its share of truck accidents.
Because of the mismatch in weight, collisions with an 18-wheeler or other commercial trucks routinely cause severe injuries or death to the occupants of the smaller vehicle. The Phillips & Pelly law firm advocates fiercely for those victims.

Commercial Trucking Accident Lawyer
Commercial drivers and owners have an added duty of care because of the danger their vehicles pose to other motorists. We can bring in professional investigators as necessary to prove how the truck driver was at fault: speeding, following too close, failure to yield, unsafe lane changes, intoxication, distracted driving or fatigue. We also look into negligence on the part of the employer or owner: negligent hiring, shoddy maintenance or violations of state and federal trucking regulations regarding weight, freight loading or hours behind the wheel.
Our lawyers have helped clients recover damages for permanent or catastrophic injuries from the violent collision, and we have represented families in truck accident wrongful death lawsuits.
