In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years. Some exceptions may apply, so it is important to consult promptly to protect your rights.

Large trucking companies may have significant resources, but a well-prepared case can still prevail. An attorney helps ensure your rights are protected and your claim is pursued thoroughly.
California follows comparative fault rules. If you are partly at fault, you may still recover a portion of damages, reduced by your share of liability, depending on the case facts.
If injuries are disputed, we gather medical records, expert opinions, and other evidence to support your claimed injuries and ensure proper compensation.
Truck accident cases vary, but many resolve through settlement within months to a couple of years. Complex cases or trials can take longer, depending on factors like evidence and court schedules.
