Trucking Accident

Khashayar Law Group, experienced San Diego truck accident attorneys, secured a $2 million settlement for clients severely injured when a distracted commercial tractor-trailer driver rear-ended their vehicle on Highway I-505 in Vacaville, California. This result reflects our firm's standing as one of the best truck accident attorneys in San Diego for serious commercial vehicle injury claims.

The collision occurred on October 2, 2019, when the defendant — a Peterbilt tractor driver employed by Sprinter Trucking, Inc., acting within the scope of his employment — took his eyes off the road for 10 to 15 seconds to check his side mirror while traveling at approximately 60 miles per hour. He failed to notice our clients' vehicle ahead, resulting in a violent collision that thrust our clients' sedan off the road and against a barbed-wire fence. Witnesses confirmed the defendant's inattention as the cause of the crash, making Sprinter Trucking vicariously liable for his negligence.

Our complaint alleged that the defendant's negligence — including driving at unsafe speeds and failing to pay attention to the road — directly caused the collision. Both of our clients sustained severe physical injuries and emotional distress, with one suffering significant spinal damage requiring extensive medical treatment. They sought compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income, and other damages, and continue to endure the physical and emotional consequences of the crash.

After approximately 18 months of legal proceedings, Khashayar Law Group secured a $2,000,000 settlement for our injured clients.
