Commercial Truck Collisions in California
Collisions involving 18-wheelers and freight trucks on highways like I-5, I-80, and the San Joaquin Valley routes often leave victims with life-altering injuries. The size and weight of commercial vehicles mean that even a single crash can result in spinal damage, brain trauma, or permanent disability.
These accidents are rarely simple. California and federal laws tightly regulate trucking operations, limiting driver hours, requiring vehicle inspections, and enforcing cargo rules. When companies or drivers break these rules, the risk of a crash rises sharply. Identifying these violations is key to proving fault.
Truck accidents often involve multiple liable parties, including the driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, and cargo contractors. That complexity makes fast, focused legal action essential. Evidence such as black box data, inspection logs, and driver records can be easily lost or destroyed if not properly preserved. An experienced truck accident attorney can help you with most coverage with a legal strategy.
Under California law, you have two years to file a claim, but your case begins the moment the crash happens.
