Truck Accidents in California: Your Legal Rights and How California Trial Law Group, PC Can Help

Truck accidents are among the most dangerous and devastating types of vehicle collisions on California roads. Due to the size, weight, and momentum of commercial trucks, crashes involving semis, big rigs, and delivery vehicles often lead to severe injuries—or worse.

At California Trial Law Group, PC, we represent individuals and families whose lives have been upended by trucking accidents. With deep knowledge of state and federal trucking regulations and a relentless commitment to justice, our legal team fights to ensure you receive the maximum compensation you're entitled to.

Why Truck Accidents Are More Complex Than Car Crashes

Truck accident litigation involves unique challenges and higher stakes. Victims often face:

  • Multiple liable parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, and third-party contractors
  • Extensive regulations from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
  • Aggressive defense strategies by corporate insurers and legal teams
  • Life-altering injuries that require long-term care and rehabilitation
  • Rapid loss of critical evidence like electronic logs or dash cam footage

Without experienced legal help, it's easy to be overwhelmed or undercompensated.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in California

Our firm investigates a wide range of truck accident scenarios, including those caused by:

  • Driver fatigue or Hours-of-Service violations
  • Speeding, distracted, or impaired driving
  • Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
  • Faulty brakes, tires, or mechanical systems
  • Poor truck maintenance or negligent inspections
  • Inadequate driver training or background checks
  • Unsafe lane changes and wide turns in traffic

We work closely with accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and industry specialists to determine exactly how your crash occurred—and who is responsible.

Serious Injuries Require Serious Legal Action

Due to their magnitude, truck accidents often result in:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord damage and paralysis
  • Broken bones and crush injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Burns and severe lacerations
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

Victims may require multiple surgeries, physical therapy, and time away from work—sometimes for life. Our team ensures that all current and future damages are accounted for, not just the immediate costs.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If you were injured in a trucking accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical bills (emergency treatment, surgeries, rehab)
  • Future medical expenses and long-term care
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and trauma
  • Vehicle damage
  • In fatal cases: wrongful death benefits for surviving family members

Our firm will build a comprehensive case to prove liability and fight for the full value of your losses.
