Truck accidents

California truck accident attorneys.

Commercial crashes are not oversized car cases. More defendants, safety rules for commercial trucks, and a company team that can be at the scene before you leave the hospital.

A tractor-trailer wreck can involve the driver, the motor carrier, a freight broker, and a maintenance contractor. Hours-of-service and inspection rules often decide the file. We do not print policy limits.

Electronic logs and engine data can be overwritten. We send preservation demands for:

Damages that may matter

Truck impacts often mean long medical futures. The damages review looks past the first surgery:

  • Future care

    Life-care needs after a catastrophic injury.

  • Medical expenses

    Hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, and later treatment.

  • Disability

    Home and work changes when the injury is permanent.

  • Earning capacity

    Income lost over a working life, not just this month.

  • Punitive exposure

    Where the facts show a conscious disregard the law recognizes. Not assumed, and not promised.

    A free consultation. We listen, look at what you already have, and tell you honestly whether we can help.

    We build and press the claim

    Settlement when the number is fair. Court when it isn't. We handle cases on contingency.

Why injured Californians call

You get a lawyer on a file built from the records, not a claim number in a queue.

Common questions

Free consultation. We handle cases on contingency.

The motor carrier, a maintenance vendor, a broker, or a shipper may share responsibility depending on who controlled the driver, the trailer, and the repairs. We map that before the demand.

Hours-of-service rules and electronic data create a paper trail a passenger-car crash usually does not have. That trail disappears if nobody asks for it quickly.
