San Diego Car Accident Claims and Litigation

If you or a member of your family has suffered serious or fatal injuries in a car accident in Southern California, contact an experienced personal injury lawyer at The McClellan Law Firm in San Diego. For 20 years, our firm has provided outstanding client service in motor vehicle accident claims and litigation, especially cases resulting in permanent or disabling injuries or accidental death.

With a caseload limited to no more than 15 cases at a time, our attorneys are able to treat you and your family as individuals while getting to know you and your specific needs. We also work closely with experts from many different technical disciplines so that every component of your claims for liability and damages can be thoroughly supported by solid and persuasive evidence.

Our attorneys handle auto crash claims such as the following:

• Car accidents caused by defective highway design or maintenance
• Commercial Truck Vehicles, 18 wheelers and semi trucks, truck and trailer accidents
• Single-vehicle accidents such as pickup truck, 15 passenger vans or SUV rollovers or cases of sudden acceleration
• Injury accidents made worse by defective seatbelts or airbags
• Roof crush injuries and fatalities
• Claims against drunk drivers or hit-and-run drivers
• Accidents caused or aggravated by the lack of an electronic stability control system
• Car fire injuries and deaths

Because the driver most obviously at fault will seldom carry sufficient liability insurance to cover the full losses incurred in a fatal or catastrophic injury accident, it is a significant advantage for a car accident victim if your attorney knows how to identify alternative theories of liability and recovery against other defendants. While we routinely consider the possibility of a lawsuit against a car or component manufacturer, we also investigate whether a property owner, government agency, or other potential defendant might also be held accountable to you.

As a result, the limits of the other driver's insurance and your own underinsured motorist coverage might well represent more of a baseline than a ceiling for the damages you can recover in a serious car accident case, depending on the particular facts of your situation.
