On the road and the world of driving trucks are big heavy vehicles that carry a lot of potential for damage and destruction. Trucks carry cargo point A to point B efficiently, but they are far bigger than the majority of other vehicles sharing that road with them. They weigh in excess of 10,000 lbs., which is at least two times more than the average American automobile.
Unfortunately when these trucks collide with another vehicle, which is almost always smaller and lighter than them, it’s usually not beneficial for the other driver. 500,000 trucking accidents occur each year in the U.S. and of those, 5,000 result in fatalities. 98% of those fatalities occur to individuals in passenger vehicles. 68% of fatal trucking accidents occurred in rural regions as opposed to cities, and 66% of fatal accident occurred during the day as opposed to night.
Even with the staggering amount of fatalities each year in trucking accidents, the amount of trucks on the road is increasing. Trucking revenues totaled $610 billion recently, and that number is expected to double by 2015.
To compensate for the increase in trucks, both drivers of passenger vehicles and trucks need to be more careful. Drivers of passenger vehicles should always avoid a few things:
-Driving in a truck’s “No-Zones”, the areas behind and beside commercial trucks where the truck driver has limited or no visibility
-Maneuvering to the right of a truck that is making a right turn
-Changing lanes in front of a truck
-Merging improperly into traffic and cutting off trucks
-Unsafe passing
-Driving between large trucks
-Abandoning a vehicle in a travel lane, or failing to get a disabled vehicle off the highway
-Always report unsafe driving by truck drivers. Many trucks have a sign on the back of their truck reading “how’s my driving” for a reason, don’t be afraid to report bad drivers
Drivers of passenger vehicles must also keep in mind simple physics. The heavier something is and the faster it is going, the longer it will take to stop. A truck can’t stop in nearly the same time as a passenger vehicle can. Also, the bigger something is, the more force it will hit with. Usually the driver of the vehicle that is bigger, does better in the collision.
Truck drivers must also be aware of the potential risks of a collision and should always take appropriate measures to ensure they are being as safe as possible. Drivers of trucks should:
-Drive slowly in work zones
-Keep their distance from other vehicles on the road
-Be aware of their “No-Zones”
-Drive defensively
With these basic safety measures both drivers of passenger cars and truck drivers can contribute to a safer driving environment while sharing the road.

It is not uncommon to come across a lost or stray dog while on a walk in San Diego. For those who come across these dogs, they are usually unsure of how to handle the situation.
Encountering an unknown dog can have its risks. The dog could be kind and gentle or it could be aggressive and dangerous. An aggressive dog may very likely try to bite a person.
It is important that any person who encounters a stray dog know how to handle the situation in order to prevent a San Diego dog bite. It can be very difficult to be able to determine how a dog will react to a given situation.
To prevent an attack from a stray dog, the person encountering the dog should:
- Look for Aggression – Before deciding how the dog should be handled, the dog’s demeanor should be assessed. Any signs of aggression or fear should be noted. A very obvious sign of aggression is if the dog is barking. Other signs of aggression may include baring teeth, growling, or lifting tail.
- Back Away – If a dog is scared, it is important not to turn and run. The appropriate response is to slowly back away.
- Do Not Provoke – Never give a dog a reason to attack. A dog that is injured, frustrated, or feels threatened may bite to protect itself.
- Call Animal Control – Most people are not adequately prepared with the tools and knowledge of how to handle a stray dog. The safest way to a peaceful encounter is to contact animal control. They will be able to safely and promptly take care of the dog.

Car accidents in San Diego are extremely common. The most common type of these accidents is the rear-collision. In fact, there are over 2.5 million rear-end collisions every year in the United States. In recent years, rear-end car crashes have been on a steady increase. Everyday distractions and handheld devices, combined with heavy San Diego traffic, play a large role in these collisions.
Although rear-end collisions are the most common type of accident, they are also the least fatal of all accidents. This does not mean that injuries are not common—in fact, they are. Some of the common injuries sustained during a rear-end car crash in San Diego include:
- Whiplash – Whiplash is the most common injury sustained during a rear-end collision. It is caused by a sudden involuntary movement to the neck. Its symptoms generally include pain in the neck and back, headaches, and tingling in the arms and legs.
- Lacerations – It is not uncommon for crashes to include shattered windows or jagged metal, which can cut a victim. These lacerations can be very painful and may even cause a person to bleed to death.
- Broken bones – The power and force caused by an accident can make bones fracture. The severity of the damage can range from a slight fracture to a compound fracture. Fractured bones can be very painful.
- Contusions – A contusion, or bruise, is a result of internal bleeding caused by trauma. Contusions can generally heal themselves; however, they can cause fatal blood clots and other dangerous conditions.
If you have been injured in a car crash, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact the experienced San Diego auto accident lawyer Keith Stone to discuss your legal options. Call 888-59-HELP-NOW to begin your claim. Also, be sure to ask for your free pamphlet, “What To Do In An Auto Accident.”

Car accidents are common occurrences, especially in big metropolitan areas like San Diego. Unfortunately, many of the car crashes in San Diego result in victims sustaining substantial physical, emotional, and financial damages. Even the most diligent drivers are at risk of becoming a victim of an accident.
Distracted drivers are one of the most common causes for auto accidents in California. Because they result from a driver not paying attention, there is little time for that driver to react by braking or slowing, resulting in serious damage.
It is important for drivers to know how to prevent being the cause of a distracted driver accident. Three ways for prevention are:
- Don’t text and drive – The use of a handheld device to text or email is illegal in the state of California. Studies have shown that texting while driving can be as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol. If a driver feels it is urgent to respond to a text or email while driving, they should first pull safely off the road before responding.
- Don’t be a rubbernecker – Most people are inquisitive. This is apparent as drivers gawk at accidents, breakdowns, or construction on the side of the road. Even though rubbernecking may be tempting, it can take attention from the road and cause an accident.
- Keep passengers under control – Many parents with kids or teens often have rowdy car rides. These passengers can cause big distractions to the driver. It is important that every passenger in the vehicle understands the importance of remaining under control for the duration of the trip. Before hitting the road the driver should have a talk with the passengers to enforce this important safety issue.
If you have been injured due to a distracted driver, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact the experienced San Diego car accident attorney Keith J. Stone to discuss your legal options. Call 888-59-HELP-NOW to schedule a free case evaluation.

Drunken driving accidents in California have become a serious problem. All too often, this type of accident will result in an innocent victim being seriously injured or killed. In fact, in 2008 over 1,000 people were killed in California in accidents where at least one driver had a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or higher.
A sober driver may be unaware that there is a drunk driver on the road until it is too late. Often times there are signs that a driver may be under the influence. Knowing these signs may be able to keep a driver and his passengers safe while on the road. Some of the common signs that may indicate a driver is under the influence include:
- Wide turns – Due to the impairment that alcohol causes, a person driving under the influence tends to make wide turns. Seeing a driver who swings out wide to make a turn that would otherwise be easily made, may be a sign that the driver is impaired.
- Straddling lanes – It is difficult for an intoxicated driver to concentrate on the road. To compensate for this, drunken drivers often straddle the lanes to help them concentrate. They do this without realizing they are driving down the middle of the road.
- Weaving – Because being impaired takes away the ability to focus and drive straight, impaired drivers tend to weave in and out of their lane. Often times, they will weave within their own lane.
- Extremely slow speeds – Trying to focus on the road will lead a intoxicated driver to drive slower than normal. It is not uncommon for these drivers to drive more than ten MPH under the speed limit.
If you have been injured by a drunken driver, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact the experienced San Diego car accident lawyer Keith J. Stone to discuss your legal options. Call 888-59-HELP-NOW to schedule a free case evaluation.

A San Diego personal injury lawyer can help if you were seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in San Diego. You could be entitled to receive compensation for the injuries you sustained.
When a Motorcycle Accident in San Diego Leads to Injuries
The chance of being seriously hurt in a motorcycle accident is high, considering the lack of protection and vulnerability that a motorcyclist has. In many cases these are preventable accidents, caused by a lack of respect for the rules of the road or some form of negligence.
Sharing the road with larger vehicles increases the risk for an accident to happen. In comparison to those who are injured in a passenger car, injuries from a motorcycle accident are usually more severe or fatal. California motorcycle accident statistics show that motorcycle accidents typically account for a disproportionately high number of catastrophic traffic accidents.
Some of the common types of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident:
- multiple fractures;
- nerve damage;
- brain injury;
- paralysis; and
- burn injury.
Many of these injuries will lead to:
- hospitalization;
- surgery;
- months of therapy; and
- missed time from work.
All of these expenses and losses may be compensated through a claim.
Common Causes of a Motorcycle Accident in San Diego
The open roads and year-long warm temperatures are inviting to those who enjoy the freedom of riding on a motorcycle. However, when another driver acts in a careless or reckless manner, it can turn your world upside down.
Here are some of the common causes of a motorcycle accident:
- driver inattention (texting while driving, talking on the phone);
- driving under the influence (drugs, alcohol);
- failing to yield;
- violating a traffic sign or signal; and
- not seeing the motorcycle.
Motorcyclists, who are aware of the risks of the road, are better prepared for what may happen. They should also be aware of other potential hazards that could lead to an accident such as inclement weather or dangerous road conditions (potholes, ruts, railroad tracks).
Seeking Compensation after a Motorcycle Accident in San Diego
You could be entitled to compensation if you were seriously injured because of someone else’s negligence.
You could be compensated for your:
- medical expenses;
- lost wages;
- pain and suffering; and
- other damages such as disability or disfigurement.
A San Diego personal injury lawyer can advise you on what types of compensation may be available and your rights. They can also help assemble the evidence you will need to prove your case.

San Diego motorcycle accidents can be some of the most serious types of auto accidents. Injuries can be quite severe due to the fact that motorcycles offer little protection to a rider and can result in a debilitating injury. As a victim, you might be left unable to pay your medical bills and experience a loss in the quality of your life.
The five most common types of injuries resulting from a motorcycle accident include:
Spinal cord injuries: A spinal cord injury results when the vertebrae-protected cord is damaged. If the injury is serious enough, the spinal cord will be unable to transmit nerve impulses from the brain to the rest of the body and can leave a victim paralyzed and confined to a wheel chair. A victim may lose some function in their legs or end up completely paralyzed from the neck down.
Traumatic brain injuries or TBIs: A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a person’s head suffers a serious blow and sustains some level of head trauma. The most common type of TBI is a concussion. However, some TBIs can be more serious and severely reduce the quality of a person’s life. If you have suffered a blow to the head in a crash, you should look for TBI symptoms that include:
- Loss of memory
- Seizures
- Cognitive fatigue
- Loss of taste and smell
- Inability to concentrate
Fractures: Most motorcycle accidents result in the rider being thrown from his or her bike. A collision with the ground, the other vehicle, or a stationary object can result in a fractured or broken bone. Whether the victim suffers a broken arm, wrist, or leg, the recovery process can be long and painful. In some cases, the broken bone may never completely heal. Fractures can also lead to damaged:
- Tendons
- Joints
- Nerves
Disfigurement: In the terms of the facial area, disfigurement commonly occurs when a motorcyclist fails to wear the proper protective gear, such as a helmet, and can lead to permanent facial scarring, as well as teeth damage. Disfigurement often is accompanied with excruciating pain and can require plastic surgery and/or oral surgery. In many instances, the victim bears the mark of the accident for the rest of their life.
Road rash: Again, most victims are thrown from their bikes in an accident. Without the proper clothing, unprotected skin can meet the hard surface resulting in road rash. Road rash is generally very painful and can leave a victim scarred for life. In some instances, road rash requires skin grafting and can leave a victim hospitalized for several weeks.

The healing and recovery process can be long and painful, leaving you with very little time to worry about your case. However, building a successful case against the person who is responsible for your injuries is paramount. Keith J. Stone has the knowledge and experience to help you hold that person liable for your damages and can help you get the compensation and treatment you deserve.

Suffering a serious spinal cord injury after a San Diego accident can have an effect on your life months, even years after your initial recovery. The costs for coping with a spinal cord injury may total in the hundreds of thousands over a lifetime. A California spinal cord injury attorney can help you secure compensation for these future costs so you can focus on your life and well being.
Life Changes after a Serious San Diego Accident
Suffering a serious injury such as spinal cord damage is an event that can change your life forever. While treatment and recovery is possible, related conditions may still result and cause long-term disability. Some of the common long-term complications from a spinal cord injury include:
- paralysis;
- nerve damage;
- chronic pain;
- weakness;
- bowel and bladder disorders;
- sexual dysfunction; and
- respiratory complications.
These conditions may prevent you from working and earning an income and can have a serious impact on your quality of life. A California spinal cord injury attorney can help you seek a settlement for the damages you’ll face in the future.
Importance of a San Diego Accident Settlement
Unexpected medical costs are a common occurrence when you suffer a serious spinal cord injury. Even when you complete the initial treatment for your injury and are stabilized, there are many complications that can arise later in life. There are even positive medical needs, such as the development of a new treatment method, which can incur additional medical expenses.
Personal injury settlements shouldn’t only address the financial needs you have to recover from the initial accident and injuries. A substantial settlement needs to amount to the potential expenses you’ll face down the road as you cope with life after a serious spinal cord injury.
Help Coping with a Spinal Cord Injury
Finding guidance and support for coping with your life after a spinal cord injury isn’t difficult. There are many support groups, therapy centers and treatment options for all ranges of spinal cord injury. Every day, researchers and doctors are working on new methods to help make life after a spinal cord injury better.
If you’re injured in a San Diego accident due to the negligence of another, you have the right to seek compensation. A California spinal cord injury attorney will help you seek a fair settlement that not only covers your expenses and losses incurred from the initial accident, but also accounts for estimated future expenses and losses.

If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a car accident in San Diego, then you could be entitled to compensation. Treatment for this type of head injury could be very costly and leave you unable to work. Consulting with a San Diego brain injury lawyer concerning your rights should be the next call you make.
Overview of a TBI
A TBI is one of the more potentially serious injuries to sustain in an accident. It can lead to months of recovery or even permanent disability.
The impact of a car accident can cause a blow or bump to the head, or an individual could suffer a penetrating head injury. The severity of the damage will depend on whether the TBI is a mild or severe injury.
With a mild injury, there is typically not a loss of consciousness, but if there is, it is usually brief. With a severe TBI, there could be a prolonged loss of consciousness and memory. There may be other complications that last an extended period of time or even a lifetime.
Long-Term Consequences of a TBI
With a severe TBI, the long-term consequences can be devastating. Functional changes can last for a few weeks or several years. This includes changes with emotions, language, thinking and sensation.
A TBI can lead to difficulties with any of the following:
- concentration;
- attention;
- communication;
- learning; and
- behavior.
Some victims of a TBI even experience a change in personality. All of this can affect their ability to socialize, work and otherwise carry on with a normal life. This reduced quality of life affects not only the injured person, but also his or her family and friends.
Treatment of a TBI
Although brain damage from a traumatic accident can’t be reversed, there are options that can help improve functioning and prevent further damage. Depending on the type of damage and the severity, an individual may benefit from therapy (physical, speech/language, occupation) or rehabilitation.
If there are psychological complications, then treatment with a psychologist, counselor or psychiatrist can help. There also may be medications available that treat pain or seizures. In some cases surgery may be necessary to reduce swelling in the brain.
Many of the treatments available are extremely costly and could leave you wondering how they will ever be paid. However, when someone else’s negligence was the cause of your car accident in San Diego, then they may be held liable. A San Diego brain injury lawyer can help determine this.

If an accident in San Diego caused you to suffer nerve damage, then compensation may be available through a personal injury claim. To understand what your rights are and what you can do in order to protect them, you should speak with a San Diego personal injury law firm about your case.
Overview of Nerve Damage After Accident in San Diego
Nerves send signals throughout the body, so when there is a disruption of any kind, it can lead to serious consequences. Most damage of this nature involves the nerves being stretched, pressed or cut. When nerves are cut, surgery is necessary to repair it. And there is no guarantee that the outcome will be good for a victim.
When nerves are stretched or pressed upon, recovery is more likely. However, it could be a long time before relief is felt.
While pain is often associated with nerve damage, there is also the risk that an individual could become paralyzed. The parts of the body that are affected by this will depend on the location of the injury.
Treatment for nerve damage will depend on a number of factors, including the severity of the injury and if there is other damage suffered. Surgery, rehabilitation and physical therapy are some of the types of treatment that can help.
How a San Diego Personal Injury Law Firm Can Help
When someone else acts in a reckless or careless manner, and it leads to an accident in San Diego, then they can be held liable for your injuries. Nerve damage can be costly to treat. You may be unable to work for a long period of time or if the damage is severe, you may become permanently disabled. These types of expenses and loss of earnings can be addressed through a personal injury claim.
A San Diego personal injury law firm can help establish if someone else’s negligence was the cause of your accident and then assemble the evidence necessary to prove it. An attorney also can gather medical evidence that demonstrates the extent of your injuries and the impact it has had on your life.
If you would like to know what types of compensation you may be entitled to after suffering nerve damage in an accident, then you will need the help of an attorney who is able to take into account not only your financial losses, but also the physical and emotional losses you have sustained.
