Causes of truck accidents are varied.

Truck accidents are caused by a variety of factors including faulty equipment, inclement weather conditions, inexperienced, exhausted, or distracted drivers, and more. Unfortunately, truck crashes have a far more severe impact on the passenger vehicles they strike than on truck drivers themselves, a fact that is understandable when you consider the sheer size of most trucks and big rig vehicles. Improperly placed loads or sudden motions may cause a truck to jackknife or lose control, causing dangerous crashes that can lead to fatalities or expensive injuries.

If you or a family member was injured in a serious big rig collision, call an experienced San Diego truck accident lawyer at Elia Law Firm NOW at (619) 444-2244 to schedule a free consultation directly with Steven Elia or Holly Semann.

Truck accidents can be devastating.

Truck accident injuries range widely in severity, but what many have in common is that they produce expensive complications and require extensive medical intervention. The need for proper care after a truck accident can be devastating to a patient who must not only contend with the trauma and pain of a severe injury, but must also struggle with missed time from work and exorbitant medical bills.

Luckily, victims whose injuries were caused by the negligence of another may file for compensation in civil court, seeking money for their injuries and associated damages such as pain and suffering and lost wages.

Just what compensation from your truck accident are you entitled to?

1. Property damage: This includes damages to your vehicle and your personal property that was destroyed in the crash.

2. Past & Current Medical Bills: If you were seriously injured in a truck accident, or even if you only suffered minor injuries, you are entitled to full compensation for your past & current medical bills.

3. Future Medical Bills: You may not have fully recovered from the collision, or you may have injuries that have long-term effects that need ongoing assessment and medical treatment. We are well-versed on what those may be and what their potential value is. We’ll fight for these for you.

4. Current and Past Lost Wages: If you could not work because of the injuries caused by the accident, you’re entitled to seek recovery for any and all lost wages.

5. Future Lost Wages: While past lost wages are fairly easy to calculate, future lost wages are far more complex. Will you be able to work next month or next year? It’s not always easy to predict. We know how to get you the maximum amount you are entitled to.

6. Pain and Suffering: Pain & suffering is tough to put a value on, but here again you are entitled to full compensation for any pain and suffering you have to endure as a result of a truck accident – whether it be physical or mental. We will seek to recover money for all the pain and suffering you have already endured, and that which you may have to endure in the future.

7. Loss of enjoyment: If you are no longer able to do the activities you once enjoyed because of your injuries, you deserve full compensation.

If you've been injured in a truck accident, you don't have to settle for a token settlement.

Frequently asked questions on truck accident cases

The value of your case depends on many factors. Every San Diego truck accident case is different. One factor is the nature and extent of your injury. Some people heal faster than others. One person may heal in a week, while another may take six months, a year, or may never heal from the injury. Another factor is the amount of your medical bills, future medical bills and lost earnings, etc. Contact our office at (619) 444-2244 for accurate advice on the value of your case.

Our office works with a variety of doctors in the San Diego who can provide immediate medical treatment and defer payment until the case is finished.

You pay us only IF we recover compensation for you through a settlement with the insurance company or a verdict through the court. If we do not recover compensation for you, you do NOT have to pay us for our time.

This depends on the extent of your injury. Typically, a San Diego personal injury case takes anywhere from two to eight months. Sometimes, cases take longer if they are more complex or if a lawsuit is filed. See our personal injury lawsuit timeline page for all the details on how long your case may take.

Not necessarily. Sometimes you are far better off without filing a lawsuit. Our San Diego personal injury law office typically files a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company, if any. We then attempt to negotiate with the insurance company. If you are dissatisfied with the insurance company’s offer, we may decide to file a lawsuit.

  • Property damage
  • Past, current and future medical bills
  • Past, current and future lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment

Putting a monetary value to each of those is what truck accident attorneys do for their clients, and then we fight hard to attain you what you deserve. As in all San Diego personal injury cases, you are up against a behemoth in the insurance company which does not have your best interests in mind. They goal is to pay you as little as possible, and you are at a disadvantage if you try to take them on yourself. There is no need. That’s what we are here for. Let us fight the battle.

"Steve Holly, and Garrett are all exceptionally professional people to work with. I had a very serious and complicated Bodily Injury case, where it seemed like there was a new hurdle to overcome every month. I have no doubt that the Elia legal team worked tirelessly on creative solutions, which ultimately led to a victory in the courts. After this case consumed 2 years of my life, I am so relieved to have it over and done with. There are no words that could truly encapsulate my appreciation, and gratitude for this law firm. I would highly recommend this group to anyone in need of their services."
