Types of California Truck Accident Cases We Handle

Attorney Alan Daneshrad handles all types of California truck accident cases including complex, high-value personal injury and wrongful death claims arising from:

  • Fatigue-related truck crashes;
  • Accidents involving overloaded or negligently secured cargo;
  • Blind spot-related accidents;
  • Wide-turn truck wrecks;
  • Truck wrecks involving drunk or distracted driving; and
  • Single-vehicle truck accidents.

Time Is of the Essence in Any California Truck Accident Claim

Trucking companies know what’s at stake after a serious accident, and they typically have a better understanding of the claims process than the average motorist. As a result, truck drivers and their employers often take steps to cover up evidence of negligence.

It is not uncommon for commercial truck drivers to alter their Hours of Service (HoS) logbook if they violated HoS Regulations. The trucking company might erase or destroy black box data—which may be used as evidence to prove the driver was speeding, violated HoS Regulations, or broke another traffic law before the collision.

After your free initial consultation, attorney Alan Daneshrad will take immediate steps to secure black box data, the driver’s HoS logbook, and other evidence before it becomes unavailable.

Alan will also handle correspondence with the insurance company on your behalf. It is important to remember that insurance adjusters represent the insurance company—not the claimant—so they have the incentive to find reasons to dispute your claim. They often use devious tactics to coerce claimants into admitting fault. You may even be offered a settlement early in the claims process—before you know the full cost of your medical treatment and lost income.

DO NOT SPEAK TO THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER before you have contacted our law office, and never accept a settlement without the approval of your California truck accident lawyer. If the settlement does not cover your future medical bills and loss of earning capacity, you could wind up in overwhelming debt.

Hiring a skilled California personal injury attorney early in the claims process could reduce your risk of making a costly mistake that would harm your claim. Missing doctor’s appointments, posting photos on social media, overlooking important evidence—any one of these mistakes could jeopardize your case.

Damages Recoverable in California Truck Accident Claims

California law allows claimants in truck accident cases to pursue compensation for economic damages and non-economic damages, which may include:

  • Vehicle damage;
  • Loss of future earning capacity;
  • Loss of income;
  • Home care and home modifications;
  • Medical bills—both past and future;
  • Emotional distress;
  • Pain and suffering;
  • Loss of consortium;
  • Disfigurement and disability; and
  • Loss of enjoyment.

If the defendant acted with malice, oppression, or fraud, exemplary damages, also called “punitive damages,” may also be recoverable.

    See all FAQ

    How much is my personal injury case worth and will you guarantee success?

    The “value” of your case depends on many factors, such as the extent of your injury, the amount of your medical bills, and your condition after you have finished medical treatments. The calculation also factors in if you in any way contributed to or caused the incident. An attorney will never guarantee any outcome in your case; however, an experienced attorney can give you a fair assessment of the outcome of your case.

    How much does a personal injury attorney charge?

    Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis. Therefore your attorney will only get paid if you get paid. If no recovery is obtained there is no out of pocket cost from you. Most law firms work on a percentage based fee. They usually obtain 33.33% of your final award. Contingency-based cases are very beneficial because they provide access to the courts for those who can’t otherwise afford to pay attorneys fees and the costs of litigation. It also reduces frivolous lawsuits because attorneys will only litigate cases they think they will likely win.

    What should I do if I'm unsatisfied with my current personal injury attorney?

    If you are unhappy with your current attorney for any reason you have the option of changing your attorney. Once you obtain a new attorney he/she can handle the process of substituting out the previous attorney. Generally, it is a very simple process to do and there is no cost to you. However, your current attorney will likely need to split a portion of your award with your prior attorney according to the amount of work he/she has contributed to your claim prior to being substituted.
