Our firm can handle insurance claims and personal injury lawsuits involving the following types of car accidents in and around San Diego:

Head-On Collisions
Typically one of the most serious types of accidents, a head-on collision occurs when the front ends of two or more vehicles collide. Because these vehicles may be traveling toward one another, the force of impact will equal the combined speed of both vehicles. Read more about head-on collisions.

Multi-Vehicle Accidents
A multi-vehicle accident is a collision that involves at least two vehicles. They may be cars, a car and a truck, a truck and a motorcycle, or two or more vehicles of any kind. In these cases, it will be important to look at who may have been at fault in causing the accident.

Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end collisions are the most common form of car accident. Often caused by a driver who is following too closely, rear-end collisions occur when one vehicle collides with the rear end of another vehicle. Whiplash is most commonly experienced in these accidents. Read more about rear-end accidents.

Side-Impact Crashes
A side-impact crash, or t-bone collision, occurs when the front end of one vehicle collides with the side of another vehicle. This type of car accident places vehicle occupants on the side of impact at particular risk of serious injury.

Single Vehicle Accidents
In some cases, there will be a collision involving only one vehicle. The vehicle may collide with a fixed object, such as a wall, street sign or tree, or may veer off the road and into a ravine or off a bridge. Even in single vehicle accidents, it is possible that the driver was not at fault. A defective auto part or dangerous road may be to blame.

Rollover Accidents
A rollover accident has the highest potential to cause catastrophic injuries to vehicle occupants. This type of accident involves a vehicle that tips or rolls completely over. It may lead to ejection from the vehicle or serious crush injuries if the roof caves in.
