We Understand the Effects of Your Truck Accident and Can Seek Damages
Many factors affect your case. Thus, our attorneys can review your damages to determine the financial awards you should receive. You could recover economic and noneconomic damages depending on your losses after the accident.
Economic Damages in Truck Accident Cases
Economic damages compensate for tangible losses such as medical care or vehicle repairs. So, you could receive these awards after sustaining injuries in a truck accident:
- Medical costs. These expenses include the emergency care you received after the accident and future medical expenses such as physical therapy, primary care provider appointments, medications, or surgeries. We will estimate all the future medical care you need and calculate their value.
- Costs of lifestyle changes. If your injuries lead to a disability, you could recover compensation for the costs of adapting your residence or assisted-living facilities that provide in-home nursing care or assistance.
- Changes in income. You could recover wages if you cannot work for a significant period while you heal from your injuries. You might also recover for reduced earning capacity if the accident has resulted in permanent disabilities.
- Property repairs. Insurance may not cover the total cost of repairing your property. However, you could receive a financial award to fix or replace your vehicle based on fair market value.
- Funeral costs. The family of a personal injury victim could recover costs for end-of-life expenditures if they passed away due to someone else’s negligence.
Noneconomic Damages in Truck Accident Cases
Noneconomic damages account for the accident’s intangible and emotional toll on you. For example, you could recover an award for these noneconomic losses:
- Pain and suffering. You could receive compensation for the emotional, mental, or physical discomfort you experienced because of the accident. Also, if you cannot find pleasure in the same activities you did prior to the accident, you could recover compensation.
- Loss of consortium. Spouses of personal injury victims may receive a monetary award for loss of companionship and emotional support.
Determining the value of these losses can take time and effort. However, one of our team members will evaluate each damage with you and calculate the appropriate amount to request in your claim or lawsuit.
We Will Keep Vital Deadlines in Mind for Your Truck Accident Case
The statute of limitations for cases arising from truck accidents in California must comply with the statute of limitations. In California, CCP § 335.1 states you have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Common Causes of San Fernando Valley Truck Accidents
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has regulations put into place to keep truck drivers and others safe on the road. Unfortunately, accidents still happen, and when they do, you could hold the truck driver, trucking company, or other drivers liable for the accident.
Our investigation will look for common factors that cause truck accidents, including truck driver fatigue, drug use, driver error, or equipment issues. We understand how fatigued truck drivers can cause accidents because:
- They have impaired judgment and misjudge driving conditions, leading to an inability to control the truck
- They have reduced reaction times to traffic signals, stalled traffic, and other road hazards
When Can I Hold a Truck Company Liable for a Collision?
Common factors that could make the trucking company liable for the accident include:
- Insufficient or improper maintenance of its vehicles
- Inadequate training of drivers before allowing them on the road
- Improper cargo loading
Our truck accident lawyers serving the San Fernando Valley will investigate the cause of your crash. Then, we’ll gather the necessary evidence to prove the at-fault party is liable for your accident and seek the compensation you deserve.
What Should I Do After a Truck Accident?
