Truck Accident FAQs
How is a truck accident different from a regular car crash?
Truck accidents typically involve larger vehicles, more severe injuries, and more complex legal issues. There may be multiple liable parties — like the driver, their employer, or even a third-party maintenance company. Trucking companies also have legal teams working to protect them from the start, which makes it even more important to have a lawyer on your side.
What causes most truck accidents in Southern California?
Some of the most common causes include:
Driver fatigue (violating hours-of-service rules)
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Poor truck maintenance or faulty brakes
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Speeding or reckless lane changes
- Lack of driver training
We investigate every angle to determine exactly what went wrong and who’s responsible.
What kind of injuries are common in truck crashes?
Because of their size and weight, trucks often cause serious injuries such as:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones or crushed limbs
- Internal organ damage
- Severe burns or lacerations
- Wrongful death
How can a lawyer help after a truck accident?
An experienced truck accident lawyer can:
- Preserve key evidence before it disappears (like dashcam footage, logbooks, and black box data)
- Identify all responsible parties
- Deal with trucking company insurers
- Build a strong case for full compensation
- Protect your rights while you focus on healing
What types of compensation can I receive?
Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to recover:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Long-term care or disability needs
- Emotional distress
- Funeral costs or wrongful death damages (in fatal cases)
How long do I have to file a claim in California?
You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, trucking companies act quickly — and key evidence can disappear fast — so it’s critical to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
