Singleton Schreiber is a nationally recognized personal injury law firm headquartered in San Diego, California, with a proven track record in truck accident and commercial vehicle litigation. Founded in 2003 by Gerald Singleton, the firm has grown from a sole practitioner’s office into a powerhouse of more than 90 attorneys and 400 employees operating across offices in California, New Mexico, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Mississippi, Alabama, and Utah. The firm has recovered over $3 billion for injured clients and is widely regarded as one of the leading plaintiff-side litigation practices in the country.
Singleton Schreiber’s truck accident practice represents individuals and families who have suffered catastrophic injuries or wrongful death in crashes involving semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and other commercial vehicles. The firm’s litigation team investigates driver fatigue, hours-of-service violations, improper maintenance, overloaded cargo, and corporate negligence by trucking companies. Their attorneys understand the complex web of federal trucking regulations governing the industry and use that knowledge to build compelling cases against negligent carriers, drivers, and their insurers.
The firm has secured landmark results in trucking and motor vehicle cases, including an $11.162 million jury verdict in Pinedo v. Valley Farm Transport, Inc., where a truck driver committed an unprovoked road-rage assault on a motorist and the trucking company was held liable. Additional recoveries include a $900,000 settlement in a commercial tractor-trailer collision and a $243 million verdict in a fatal crash involving autonomous vehicle technology — one of the largest personal injury verdicts in the nation.
