The glossary explains common terms you may encounter during your claim and helps you understand the process.
Failure to act with reasonable care that results in harm to another person.
California follows comparative fault rules, so your recovery may be reduced by your share of fault.
Liability is the legal responsibility for the crash and injuries, which may fall on the driver, carrier, maintenance provider, or other parties.
Economic and noneconomic losses such as medical bills, wages, and pain and suffering that you may be entitled to recover.
You may pursue a direct insurance settlement, file a personal injury claim, or pursue a lawsuit. We help you weigh the pros and cons of each path.

In California, you typically have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. If you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation. Consulting with a Reedley attorney early helps ensure you meet all deadlines and preserve key evidence.
After a truck crash, first prioritize safety and seek medical attention. Call local authorities, obtain a police report, and contact an attorney to begin preserving evidence and protecting your rights.
Fault in truck collisions is determined by reviewing evidence such as driver logs, maintenance records, and witness statements. Negligence by the trucking company, driver, or maintenance provider can establish liability.
You may be entitled to medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. The specifics depend on injuries, liability, and insurance coverage.
While you can handle a claim on your own, trucking cases involve complex regulations, insurance practices, and evidence preservation. An experienced attorney can improve your odds of a fair settlement.
If the other driver lacks insurance, you may still pursue compensation from the trucking company, the carrier, or other responsible parties through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and other legal avenues.
