Truck Accidents Often Lead to Serious, Life-Changing Injuries
Tractor-trailers can weigh tens of thousands of pounds, and when they’re involved in accidents, the results are often devastating. Victims of truck accidents frequently face expensive medical treatment, long recovery periods, and sometimes permanent disabilities or life-altering changes.
Unfortunately, the insurance companies representing trucking companies often try to minimize their payouts and downplay the level of responsibility—even when victims are facing significant medical expenses and need substantial compensation to cover their care and maintain financial stability.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, you shouldn’t have to deal with complex insurance processes and legal procedures on your own—especially while you’re trying to recover.
At Victory Law Group, our attorneys have experience handling truck accident cases and understand the tactics insurance companies use to reduce settlements. We work to hold the responsible parties accountable and help you pursue the full compensation you may be entitled to.
Let us handle the legal complexities so you can focus on healing.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can happen for many reasons. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), some of the most common causes include:
- Driver fatigue
- Speeding
- Inadequate driver training or experience
- Overloaded cargo
- Brake failure
- Failure to conduct regular inspections or maintenance
- Defective parts or equipment
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI)
- Adverse weather conditions such as snow or ice
- Reckless or aggressive driving
- Failure to follow traffic signs and signals
- Impaired vision due to night driving
Understanding what caused your truck accident is an important part of building your case and determining who may be held responsible for your injuries.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Truck Accident?
Determining liability in a truck accident depends on the specific circumstances of your case. Depending on what happened, one or more parties may be held responsible, including:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- Equipment or parts manufacturers
- Other negligent drivers involved in the accident
- Government agencies responsible for road maintenance and safety
Every truck accident is different, and identifying all responsible parties is an important part of pursuing full compensation for your injuries.
Critical Evidence in Truck Accident Cases
To pursue compensation after a truck accident, you’ll need to show that the responsible parties failed to follow safety regulations or fulfill their duty of care—and that this failure contributed to your injuries and damages.
Victory Law Group can help you collect, preserve, and analyze the evidence needed to build a strong case. This includes:
Driver and Company Records:
- Driver qualifications, training files, and background records
- Hours of service documentation
- Inspection and maintenance records
- Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulation compliance records
- Substance and alcohol testing records
Vehicle and Route Data:
- Onboard recording and GPS records
- Data from onboard systems (engine control module, brake module, etc.)
- Maintenance and inspection history
Trip Documentation:
- Driver communication logs
- Dispatching logs and records
- Bills of lading and weight tickets
- Trip envelopes and delivery documents
Important evidence can be lost, destroyed, or disappear over time. Trucking companies are only required to preserve certain records for limited periods, so it’s important to act quickly.
Don’t wait to consult an attorney. The sooner we can begin gathering evidence, the stronger your case will be.
How Long Do I Have to File a Truck Accident Claim in California?
In California, you typically have two years from the date of your truck accident to file a personal injury claim. This time limit is set by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1.
The two-year period starts on the date the accident occurred. However, if the accident resulted in someone’s death, the two-year period begins on the date of death for wrongful death claims.
Because these deadlines are strict and some situations may have shorter time limits, it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after your accident to protect your rights.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases in California
If you’ve been injured, you probably have questions about how the legal process works, what it costs, and how long you have to take action. Here are straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often from injured Californians.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, especially claims involving government entities. It’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How is the value of my case determined?
Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and how the injury has affected your daily life. We review all of these factors during your free consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Your settlement may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re not automatically disqualified.
How long does a personal injury case take?
It depends. Some cases settle in a few months, while others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputes over fault, can take longer. We move as quickly as possible while making sure you receive fair compensation.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, we prepare every case for trial to strengthen your negotiating position and ensure you’re not pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
Still have questions? We’re happy to answer them during your free consultation. No pressure. No obligation.
