California Truck Accident Lawyer
Commercial truck crashes cause catastrophic injuries, and they involve powerful trucking companies and insurers. We have the resources to hold every responsible party accountable.
A fully loaded big rig can weigh 20 to 30 times more than a passenger car. When an 18-wheeler, delivery truck, or commercial vehicle causes a crash on the I-5, the 210, or the 101, the results are often devastating. Truck accident cases are far more complex than ordinary car crashes, and the trucking company's insurer starts building its defense within hours.
We move fast to preserve critical evidence such as the truck's black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, and dispatch communications. We identify every liable party, including the driver, the trucking company, and the cargo loader, to maximize your recovery for serious injuries.
The explosion of online shopping and same-day delivery has put more commercial vehicles on California roads than ever before. From Amazon delivery vans and FedEx and UPS trucks to USPS mail trucks, semi-trucks, box trucks, and city buses, these vehicles share our streets and freeways every day, and a collision with one can leave you facing a large company and its team of insurers and defense lawyers.

Why Truck Accidents Happen
- Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
- Unrealistic delivery quotas and tight delivery deadlines
- Improperly loaded or overweight cargo
- Inadequate truck maintenance and brake failure
- Speeding and aggressive driving
- Distracted or impaired truck drivers
- Negligent hiring and poor driver training
- Blind-spot and wide-turn collisions
Types of Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents We Handle
Not every truck accident involves a long-haul big rig. We handle crashes involving every kind of commercial and delivery vehicle on California roads, including:
- Amazon delivery trucks and vans (including Amazon Flex and contracted delivery drivers)
- FedEx and UPS delivery trucks
- USPS and other mail or courier vehicles
- 18-wheelers, semi-trucks, big rigs, and tractor-trailers
- Box trucks, moving trucks, and flatbed trucks
- City buses, Metro buses, school buses, and shuttle buses
- Garbage and waste-collection trucks
- Dump trucks, cement trucks, and construction vehicles
- Tow trucks and utility trucks
- Food and beverage delivery trucks
Accidents involving delivery giants like Amazon, FedEx, and UPS often raise complex questions about who is responsible, since drivers may be employees, independent contractors, or work for a third-party delivery service. We untangle those relationships and pursue every company and insurance policy that owes you compensation.
Compensation You May Recover
If another party's negligence caused your injury, California law may entitle you to recover compensation for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Property damage, including your vehicle
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Rehabilitation and in-home care costs
- Loss of enjoyment of life
California's Deadline to File
In most California personal injury cases you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Claims involving a government entity may have a deadline as short as six months. Evidence also fades quickly, so the sooner you contact an attorney, the stronger your case will be.
