San Diego Personal Injury Lawyers

Labor Day weekend is a holiday that San Diego residents know well.  It’s the last big weekend for tourism in the area for the summer, and as Labor Day itself hits the calendar, people begin to head home by the thousands and use the local freeways to do so.  Unfortunately, this leads to a high number of San Diego car accidents, which is exactly what occurred yesterday when a pickup truck hauling a camper rolled over and injured two people.

According to police, the latest San Diego car accident occurred at about 11:45 a.m. on the northbound I-15 near the connection with I-8.  A pickup truck was hauling a large camper in relatively heavy traffic conditions when it suddenly rolled over onto its side.  The two occupants of the pickup truck were injured in the crash, and investigators were beginning the process of determining how the accident occurred while cleanup and rescue crews worked feverishly to clear the scene.

As stated above, investigators have not yet identified a cause to this San Diego car accident, but when they do it’s possible that those who were injured could file a California personal injury lawsuit against anyone who was responsible for the incident.  If such a case was successful, it could bring damages awards that include compensation for medical costs, property damage, lost income and pain and suffering.

However, the decision regarding whether or not to proceed with a claim should only be made with the help of San Diego car accident lawyers who have been holding those responsible for harm accountable for many years.  Contact Mitchell | Gilleon today to schedule a free initial consultation.
