San Francisco Truck Accident Lawyers

Every day, San Francisco and Bay Area motorists share roads with trucks and commercial vehicles. Truck drivers have the responsibility to operate these large vehicles with extreme caution, as trucks can weigh up to 20x that of a midsize car or SUV. Unfortunately, when a truck driver fails to exercise such care, San Francisco truck accidents are more likely to occur.

At The Barnes Firm, our experienced team of San Francisco truck accident lawyers have seen the negative effects truck accidents can have on individuals and their families. You can trust that our dedicated truck accident attorneys will work hard for you from the first phone conversation through to the final settlement.

Truck drivers
Trucking companies
Maintenance companies
Manufacturers
The company who loaded the truck
Municipalities
Third-party drivers

In California, you must be able to prove liability to receive compensation. You may be found partially liable in the event of an accident. You can still recover compensation if you are found partially liable for the accident.

It is also important to remember that in California, you have two years from the date of your accident, or the date your injuries were discovered, to file a personal injury claim. To get started filing your claim, or to have any questions regarding your accident answered, call The Barnes Firm today at (800) 800-0000 and ask to speak to one of our experienced San Francisco truck accident lawyers.
