California Truck Accidents Are Different

Unlike regular car accidents, trucking collisions involve layers of complexity — from federal safety regulations to powerful insurance companies. These aren't claims you should try to handle alone.

Commercial trucking is governed by both California state laws and federal regulations from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These regulations cover:

• Driver qualification and licensing

• Hours-of-service limitations

• Vehicle maintenance requirements

• Cargo loading and securement

• Drug and alcohol testing

• Electronic logging device (ELD) requirements

A California truck accident lawyer with specific experience in commercial vehicle cases understands these regulations and how violations can establish liability.

We Fight the Trucking Companies and Their Insurers

Trucking companies act quickly to protect themselves, often deploying investigators to the accident scene within hours. We respond even faster — collecting critical evidence like:

• Black box data recorders

• Driver logbooks and electronic logging data

• Truck maintenance records

• Driver qualification files

• Post-accident drug and alcohol testing results

• Communications between the driver and the company

This evidence can disappear or be altered if not preserved quickly. Our California truck accident lawyers know what to look for and how to secure it before it's too late.
