A truck accident occurs when a commercial vehicle collides with a person, vehicle, or property, often causing serious injuries. In such cases, fault may rest with the driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, or other parties.

Partial fault may not bar you from recovery; California uses comparative negligence, so you can still pursue compensation proportional to your level of fault.
In California, the typical statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury to file a claim, with some exceptions.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering depending on the case.
Having a lawyer is not required, but it substantially helps with evidence gathering, negotiations, and navigating legal deadlines.
Many truck accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis—paying nothing upfront and collecting a percentage of the recovery if you win.

Fault is determined through a review of evidence such as police reports, eyewitness accounts, vehicle data, and maintenance records.
Bring police reports, medical records, invoices, photos from the scene, and any correspondence with insurers.
