California Truck Accidents Attorney

Commercial truck crashes involve federal motor-carrier rules, multiple insurers, and aggressive defense teams. We move fast to preserve evidence.

Commercial truck cases are not big car cases. Federal motor-carrier safety rules, electronic logs, hours-of-service violations, and corporate spoliation tactics make them a different kind of fight. The insurance limits are higher and the defense is harder. Speed of investigation matters most: trucking companies dispatch their own investigators within hours.

What we handle

Tractor-trailer and 18-wheeler crashes

Often involve fatigue, improper loading, or maintenance failures. We send a preservation letter immediately and pursue ELD and ECM data.

Delivery-truck and box-truck collisions

Last-mile delivery has driven a surge in inexperienced drivers under tight schedules. Liability often runs to the carrier, not just the driver.

Underride and override collisions

Catastrophic injury cases. Vehicle conspicuity, guard equipment, and applicable FMCSA standards all matter.

How we work

  1. 1

    Free, no-pressure consultation

    We listen first. We answer your questions. There is no fee for the initial conversation — and you decide whether to engage us at the end of it.

  2. 2

    Investigation and evidence preservation

    Police reports, scene photos, witness statements, vehicle data, surveillance video, medical records. The earlier we collect, the harder it is for the other side to reshape the story later.

  3. 3

    Treatment, demand, and negotiation

    We coordinate with your providers, document the full extent of damages — medical, lost income, pain — and present a demand backed by evidence. We push back firmly when an insurer lowballs.

  4. 4

    Litigation when necessary

    Most matters settle. When an insurer refuses to be reasonable, we file. Preparing every case as if it will be tried is what makes the settlement number move.

What to do right away

  • Call 911 and request medical evaluation on scene.
  • Photograph the truck — license plate, USDOT number, MC number, trailer markings.
  • Get the trucking company's name, not just the driver's.
  • Save any clothing or vehicle parts as evidence.
  • Contact us before speaking with the trucking company's insurer or a 'rapid response' team.
