Trucking Accidents

Truck accidents are among the most devastating collisions on California roads. A fully loaded commercial truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds—making any crash involving a big rig, semi-truck, or tractor-trailer potentially catastrophic.

​

At L WOOD LAW, we represent individuals and families whose lives have been upended by truck accidents. We know how to take on powerful trucking companies and insurance providers—and we’re committed to helping you recover the maximum compensation you deserve.

​

Why Trucking Accidents Are More Complex

 

Unlike a typical car crash, a truck accident case often involves multiple parties, complex federal and state regulations, and high-stakes negotiations. Trucking companies and their insurers act fast to protect themselves—often sending investigators to the scene within hours.

​

Our team at L WOOD LAW moves just as quickly to preserve evidence and build a compelling case. We conduct a thorough investigation to uncover key factors, such as:

​

• Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations

• Distracted or impaired driving

• Improper truck maintenance or inspection failures

• Overloaded or unbalanced cargo

• Negligent hiring, training, or supervision

• Equipment failure or manufacturing defects

 

We work with accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and safety analysts to prove liability and fight for the justice you deserve.

​

Who May Be Liable?

 

In a trucking accident, liability doesn’t always rest solely with the driver. Depending on the facts of your case, we may pursue claims against:

​

• The truck driver

• The trucking company or carrier

• Maintenance contractors

• Loading companies

• Vehicle or parts manufacturers

• Third-party brokers or shippers

 

Identifying all liable parties is critical to maximizing your compensation—and we don’t leave any stone unturned.

​

What Compensation Can You Recover?

 

Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to substantial damages, including:

​

• Emergency medical expenses and long-term care

• Lost wages and future earning capacity

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

• Disability and disfigurement

• Property damage

• Wrongful death damages (in fatal accidents)

 

At L WOOD LAW, we pursue full and fair compensation that reflects the true impact of your injuries—now and in the future.

​

Time Is Critical

 

In California, most truck accident claims must be filed within two years of the accident. However, evidence in trucking cases—such as electronic logging device (ELD) data, maintenance records, and dashcam footage—can be lost or destroyed quickly.

​

That’s why it's essential to contact an attorney immediately. The sooner you call L WOOD LAW, the faster we can get to work protecting your rights.
