Seeking Compensation Following a Serious Truck Accident

Violent collisions between enormous commercial vehicles and conventionally sized cars and trucks are tremendous mismatches in the power, speed, weight, and impact departments.
This disparity frequently spells catastrophic injuries and wrongful deaths for motorists and passengers in smaller vehicles and completely unprotected motorcyclists, bicycle riders, and pedestrians.

If you or a loved one was seriously hurt in an accident with a negligently operated 18-wheeler, semitrailer truck, or big rig, we want to know about it. We at Pasternack Injury Law Group have been serving clients in Ramona and greater San Diego for 35 years.

He knows the uphill battles that accident injury victims and survivors of wrongful death victims must face.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Semi-truck accidents stem from various factors, often with catastrophic consequences.

Key contributors to these accidents include:

Truck Driver Negligence: Driver negligence, whether due to drug influence or cellphone distractions, is a leading cause of accidents.
Truck Company Negligence: Overloading and inadequate maintenance by truck companies heighten accident risks.
Speeding: Trucks traveling at excessive speeds are harder to control and require longer distances to come to a stop.
Weather Conditions: Adverse weather like rain, snow, or fog can reduce visibility and make roads slippery, contributing to accidents.

If you’ve suffered due to a car accident involving semi-trucks, our experienced San Diego truck accident lawyers are here to assist. Contact us for a free consultation to protect your rights and seek the compensation you deserve.

Barry Pasternack represented me in a personal injury case when a metal ceiling tile fell from an elevator ceiling, causing me a severe head injury. Barry helped me understand my rights as an injured party, and made sure I received the proper medical attention.

He made sure I was fully compensated for my injuries and my lost time from work. I recommend him to anyone who is unfortunately injured in an accident.

Barry handled an auto accident in which I was the injured party. I was ready to give up the idea of even TRYING to recover anything from my injuries since Medicare would have taken it all, but Mr. Pasternack was EXTREMELY successful in recovering much more than I expected to get…

Our Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about personal injury cases? Our FAQs page answers common queries about working with our legal team and understanding your options.

Immediately seek any needed medical attention and focus on your recovery. Document the accident thoroughly, including photographing injuries, property damage, and the accident scene. Save related receipts and records. Finally, contact our experienced legal team as soon as possible so we can start building your case before the evidence disappears.

While we are fully prepared to take your case to court if needed, most injury claims settle out of court through negotiated settlements or mediation. We will advise you on the best legal strategy and work tirelessly to reach a fair settlement without the time and stress of a trial. However, we won’t hesitate to file a lawsuit if that’s what it takes.

In California, you typically have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, government claims can be much shorter, with deadlines of as little as six months. To ensure you do not miss the statute of limitations, contact our San Diego personal injury attorneys immediately after any accident for a free consultation.

No, do not communicate with any insurance company until you have legal representation. Insurance adjusters may try to get damaging statements or convince you to accept an unfairly low settlement. Our lawyers will handle all communications to build leverage and demand the compensation you deserve. Let us advocate for you.

The compensation we will pursue on your behalf typically includes medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering damages, and more. Every case is unique, but our goal is to maximize your financial recovery so you can move forward after a traumatic injury. With experienced legal representation, you can recover damages to cover all aspects of your losses.
