Frequently Asked Questions

Why are truck accident cases more complex than car accident cases?+
Commercial truck accidents involve federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), Hours-of-Service rules, electronic logging devices (ELDs), drug/alcohol testing requirements, cargo securement standards, and employer/contractor liability webs. Multiple defendants typically exist — driver, trucking company, broker, cargo loader, equipment manufacturer, maintenance contractor. Higher damages from larger vehicle mass produce higher settlements but also harder defense litigation.
What evidence is critical in a truck accident case?+
ELD logs (Hours of Service), driver qualification files, drug/alcohol test results, maintenance records, dash-cam footage, GPS data, weight tickets, dispatch records, and the driver's prior safety record. Federal law requires preservation of many records — we send spoliation letters within 24 hours of being retained. Trucking companies that destroy evidence face severe sanctions. Critical evidence is often deleted within 30–90 days of an accident.
Are truck accident settlements higher than car accidents?+
Generally yes. Commercial trucks carry $750,000+ federal minimum liability coverage (often $1M–$5M+), making higher recoveries possible. Catastrophic truck-accident cases regularly reach $1M–$5M; fatal cases routinely exceed $5M. Brokers, shippers, and parent corporations may also be liable, expanding the available coverage. Truck-accident clients should never accept settlements without a thorough defendant analysis.
What if multiple parties are responsible for the truck accident?+
California's pure comparative negligence rule (Civil Code § 1431.2) allows claims against every defendant proportional to fault. We pursue: the truck driver (employee/contractor), the motor carrier (employer or broker), the cargo loader (Mark/Klein doctrine), the equipment manufacturer (defective brakes, tires, steering), the maintenance company, and any third party whose negligence contributed. Total recoveries from multiple defendants frequently exceed any single defendant's policy.
Can I sue the trucking company directly?+
Yes — under respondeat superior, if the driver was an employee, the motor carrier is vicariously liable. Even with independent contractor drivers, trucking companies face direct claims for negligent hiring, training, supervision, and equipment maintenance. We routinely defeat 'independent contractor' defenses through the Borello test (control-based) and AB 5 application — most truck drivers are employees regardless of their classification.
