Lawyers for Truck Accidents in California
If you have been hurt, or if you have lost a family member from a truck accident, contact us. We are experienced, skilled, compassionate and ready to seek justice for you. We take cases throughout California.
Types of Cases We Handle
Semi-truck and 18-wheelers
Crashes involving semi-trucks and 18-wheelers are especially harmful because of the heavy weight of the vehicle. A passenger car is much smaller by comparison. Our lawyers go further to understand the full extent of your losses including non-economic damages and suffering.
Commercial drivers
Truck accidents often involve CDL holders and commercial drivers. An employer or trucking company may have legal liability. Let our team explore all opportunities for you to collect your compensation.
Inadequate vehicle maintenance
Commercial trucks must be maintained. There are required vehicle components, mandatory inspections and maintenance that must be performed when required. When inadequate maintenance causes or contributes to a crash, we investigate and document what occurred.
Questions of fault and legal liability
The trucking company usually doesn’t admit their fault. Our lawyers understand what amounts to legal fault. We investigate on your behalf.
Catastrophic injury and complex damages
It’s common for a truck accident victim to need significant time to heal. The medical treatment process can take years. When you have catastrophic injuries that need long-term care, your legal claim and compensation should reflect the severity of your injuries and suffering.
Questions of causation
Trucking companies try to minimize claims in any way that they can. It’s common for them to deny that your injuries are the result of the crash. As part of our representation, we can assist you to prove causation.
Complex civil procedure and legal issues
Because they involve large dollar amounts, truck accident claims can quickly become legally complex. We understand the procedural requirements and legal technicalities that are critical to making your claim a success.
Settlements and trials
Each case should have a legal strategy for the specific issues and questions present in the case. We pursue case resolutions through both settlements and trials. It’s always our goal to build a strong case and give you the information you need to guide you through the process.

Representing California Truck Accident Victims
There are 13.7 million light and heavy-duty trucks registered in California. Large trucks are involved in 9% of fatal vehicle crashes but they are only 4% of all registered vehicles on the roads. In other words, large trucks can be dangerous and deadly for Californians.
Truck crashes occur on California’s freeways, highways, state and local roads. They involve occupants of passenger vehicles, people traveling on foot and people near the roads. For the thousands of people hurt each year, the harm is immeasurable. These victims and their families need skilled legal representation.
Attorney Jeff Injury Lawyers understands the needs that these victims have. That is why we represent clients throughout California. To see how we can help you, contact our team.

- Not maintaining the truck including working brakes, lights, mirrors and other vital components
- Driver inexperience, lack of skill and poor training
- The trucking company failing to conduct a proper background check; failing to monitor its employees and not removing an unqualified driver
- Road conditions and obstructions on the road
- Driving for too many hours without a break; driver fatigue
- Drunk driving; driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Being medically unfit to drive a truck
The causes of a truck accident may not be known immediately. We investigate and pursue your rights.
Do I qualify for a truck accident claim?
Truck accident compensation claims in California are based on legal fault. All drivers have a duty of care and caution on the road based on a reasonable person standard. The duty applies to truckers and trucking companies, too.
Negligence, like a traffic violation, or more serious misconduct, can be grounds for a victim to qualify for a truck accident claim.
