TRUCKING Accidents

Got hit by a truck? We’ll deal with the insurance so you can rest.

Understanding Truck Accident Laws

Truck crashes are different from regular car accidents. They’re bigger, more serious, and often involve multiple parties , the driver, the trucking company, a maintenance shop, a cargo loader, even a parts manufacturer. Each one may have an insurer trying to pay as little as possible.
Two rules matter right away:

Comparative negligence.

If you’re found partly at fault, your compensation can be reduced by that percentage. Insurance companies know this and often try to push more blame onto victims. We know how to push back.

Deadlines

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim in California. Missing that deadline can jeopardize your right to recover compensation. Whether your accident occurred in Los Angeles and Orange County, it’s important to act quickly to protect your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding your legal rights shouldn’t be confusing. Here’s what clients like you ask us most—answered simply and directly.

You typically have around two years to file a personal injury lawsuit — but this can vary. It’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and avoid missing your deadline.
At our firm, we believe every client deserves personal attention and clear communication. When you contact us, you’ll have the opportunity to speak directly with an experienced attorney who will review your case, answer your questions, and guide you through your legal options. Our team is committed to keeping you informed every step of the way — from your initial consultation to the resolution of your case.

If the insurance company has already made you an offer, you should speak with an attorney before accepting it.
Insurance companies often make early settlement offers to close cases quickly — usually for far less than the full value of your claim. Once you accept their offer, you typically waive your right to pursue additional compensation, even if your injuries turn out to be more serious later.

An experienced attorney can review the offer, evaluate your medical records and damages, and negotiate for a fair settlement that truly reflects your losses — including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
