Injured in a Truck Accident in California? Here’s What You Need to Know

Truck Accidents Are Life-Changing — Legal Help Should Be Too

In California, our freeways are filled with commercial trucks moving goods around the clock. Unfortunately, when these massive vehicles collide with cars, motorcycles, or pedestrians, the results can be devastating. From life-altering injuries to long-term financial setbacks, truck accidents are rarely minor.

At BD&J, PC, attorney Michael Madadi brings a wealth of experience in personal injury law—leading a team that prioritizes client outcomes, clear communication, and effective case strategies. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, the time to act is now.

Why Truck Accident Claims Are More Complicated Than Car Accidents

Truck crashes often involve multiple layers of liability, more severe injuries, and powerful corporate insurance teams. Factors that make these cases more complex include:

• Federal regulations governing commercial trucking (FMCSA rules)
• Employer liability (not just the driver)
• Commercial insurance policies with higher limits—and tougher resistance
• Involvement of multiple parties: trucking company, maintenance provider, freight broker, etc.
• Extensive documentation (logbooks, GPS data, maintenance records)

Because of this, truck accident cases demand an attorney who understands not just personal injury law, but also commercial transportation regulations and corporate defense tactics.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

The leading causes of truck-related collisions include:

• Driver fatigue due to long hours and skipped rest breaks
• Distracted driving (texting, GPS use)
• Poor vehicle maintenance (tire blowouts, brake failure)
• Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
• Speeding or aggressive lane changes
• Inexperienced or undertrained drivers

When any of these factors contribute to a crash, the consequences for other road users are often catastrophic.

Injuries Often Seen in Truck Accidents

Truck accidents typically result in high-impact trauma, including:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Broken bones and internal bleeding
• Severe burns or crush injuries
• Long-term disability or mobility loss

Proper medical documentation and long-term care planning are critical to accurately valuing your claim.

Compensation Available to Victims

Victims of truck accidents in California may be entitled to recover compensation for:

• Emergency medical treatment and surgeries
• Long-term rehabilitation or therapy
• Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Property damage
• Future medical needs

Each case is different, which is why a tailored legal approach matters.
