Truck Accidents in California

Truck crashes on California’s freeways and surface streets can leave victims facing catastrophic injuries, towering repair bills, and lingering emotional distress. Because commercial freight operations are bound by a maze of state and federal safety rules—and because liability may extend to drivers, carriers, maintenance contractors, cargo loaders, and their insurers—understanding your legal options after a wreck is essential.

California’s trucking regulations impose strict standards for brake inspections, weight limits, cargo securement, and driver rest breaks recorded in electronic logging devices. When a company cuts corners on maintenance, exceeds load limits, or falsifies hours-of-service records, those violations become powerful evidence of negligence. Injured motorists and passengers may pursue compensation for hospital bills, rehabilitation, lost wages, diminished future income, and the pain and suffering that accompany a serious collision.

Swift action is critical. A seasoned truck accident attorney can launch an investigation immediately, preserving black-box data before it is overwritten, securing maintenance and dispatch logs, interviewing eyewitnesses, and collecting surveillance footage that might otherwise disappear. Your lawyer will also handle every conversation with adjusters and defense counsel, building a case that is fully trial-ready if negotiations stall.
