Truck Accident Claims in California: How Michael Madadi and BD&J, PC Stand Up for Victims

Truck accidents are among the most catastrophic motor vehicle crashes on California roads. The sheer size and weight of commercial trucks mean that collisions frequently result in severe injuries, long-term disabilities, or even fatalities. For victims and their families, the aftermath brings not just physical pain, but complex legal and financial battles with powerful trucking companies and insurers.

At BD&J, PC, Attorney Director of Pre-Litigation Michael Madadi has dedicated his career to helping accident victims get justice. The firm is widely respected for its aggressive advocacy, deep industry knowledge, and record of securing life-changing verdicts and settlements for truck accident clients.

The Unique Challenges of Truck Accident Cases

Unlike typical car accidents, trucking collisions involve a complicated web of potential liable parties — from drivers and trucking companies to vehicle manufacturers and logistics providers. These cases often require in-depth investigation into:

• Federal and state trucking regulations (hours-of-service, maintenance, driver qualifications)
• The condition of the truck and its cargo
• Driver training, background, and employment history
• Company hiring practices and potential safety violations

Trucking companies and their insurers move quickly to minimize their liability, sometimes even dispatching their own investigators to the scene before the dust settles. That’s why it’s crucial to have an experienced truck accident attorney like Michael Madadi on your side as soon as possible.

What Compensation Can Truck Accident Victims Recover?

Victims of truck accidents are entitled to seek compensation for:

• Medical bills (emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, long-term treatment)
• Lost income and reduced earning ability
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Loss of consortium (for family members)

Calculating damages in a truck accident case can be especially complex, since injuries are often severe and the costs of lifelong care or lost income can be significant. The BD&J team works with medical experts, economists, and life care planners to ensure every dollar is accounted for in your claim.
