Determining Liability in Truck Accident Cases
Truck accidents are often complex and may involve multiple responsible parties. Our legal team investigates every angle to hold negligent parties accountable, which may include:
- The truck driver (speeding, fatigue, distracted driving, DUI)
- The trucking company (unsafe policies, negligent hiring, lack of training)
- The shipping or loading company (overloaded or unsecured cargo)
- The truck maintenance company (failure to maintain brakes, tires, or other systems)
- The truck or parts manufacturer (defective equipment or design)
By uncovering every liable party, we strengthen your case and maximize the compensation you may recover.
What Compensation Can a Truck Accident Claim Cover?
Truck accidents often result in life-changing injuries, including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and severe burns. Victims and families may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (emergency care, hospitalization, surgeries, rehab)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Long-term care and disability accommodations
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Wrongful death damages (funeral costs, loss of financial support, and companionship)
Even if you are partially at fault, you may still be eligible for compensation under California law.
How Our Santa Ana Truck Accident Lawyers Can Help
Insurance companies representing trucking companies are aggressive in protecting their bottom line. Our attorneys know their tactics and how to fight back. We:
- Investigate the crash with accident reconstruction experts
- Work with medical specialists to assess the full extent of injuries
- Collect black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records
- Negotiate aggressively with insurers
- Prepare every case as if it will go to trial
Our goal is simple: to protect your rights and secure the compensation you need to rebuild your life.
Time is Critical After a Truck Accident
California law limits the amount of time you have to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim. In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident, but deadlines can be shorter if a government entity is involved. Delaying your case risks losing valuable evidence, such as surveillance footage or driver records.
Contacting an experienced Santa Ana truck accident lawyer immediately after the crash ensures your rights are protected.
