“Working with Nick turned what could’ve been the absolute worst situation into the best experience I could have under given circumstances. Nick was attentive and responsive to my thoughts and I truly felt heard and cared for during the entire process. Working through any legality issue or any kind of accident case at all can be a huge headache – but working with Nick really helped ease some of the stress. Thank you so much, Nick! I appreciate all the hard work and heart you put forward.”

Serious Truck Accidents in Southern California
Los Angeles and Long Beach have two of the largest ports in the country, and they are both the origination and destination point for tens of thousands of trucks. In addition, there is an international border that draws a large share of truck traffic. The result is that Southern Californians must contend with numerous trucks, in addition to the regulation congestion that they face every day.
In 2022, 436 people lost their lives in truck accidents in California. Countless more passenger car drivers and occupants suffered serious injuries that often remain with them for the rest of their lives. Truck accidents tend to be more serious because the larger tractor-trailer transfers more force. Basic rules of physics state that the force exerted in the crash is proportional to the mass of the vehicles involved. The fact that trucks far outweigh cars means that practically all the force would be transferred from the truck to the car.
Common Truck Accident Injuries
The size disparity means that car occupants can suffer serious injuries in the crash. Common truck accident injuries include:
- Fractures and broken bones
- Cuts and lacerations
- Head and neck injuries
- Internal injuries and organ damage
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
The accident may result in grave injuries that can mean significant damages. In a “regular” car accident case, you are dealing with the other driver’s insurance company, and your settlement is at least partly constrained by the amount of insurance coverage they have (along with your underinsured motorist coverage).

You Need to Fight for All the Truck Accident Compensation You Get
In truck accident cases, it is an entirely different story. If the truck driver was employed by a company, chances are that you can file a lawsuit against their employer when the driver was to blame for the accident. When a trucking company is involved, there is likely a large insurance policy. When there is not enough insurance coverage to pay for your injuries, you can go after the trucking company itself. You could even seize their assets and bank accounts to pay for your judgment.
Recovering compensation in a truck accident case is by no means a given. Before you are paid anything, you must meet your burden of proof to demonstrate that the truck driver or trucking company was negligent. Truck accident cases have far more complexities involved than the “average” motor vehicle crash (if there even is such a thing).
There are many more sources of evidence that can be used to prove your case. However, you must have someone on your side who knows how to investigate a complex accident and gather the proof that you need to win your case. Trucking companies have much of this evidence in their possession, and they will not give it to you willingly. Only an experienced truck accident lawyer knows what to do to both direct the trucking company to preserve the evidence and how to get it in your hands.
How a Truck Accident Law Firm Can Help You
Trucking companies and their insurance carriers never willingly give you all the money you deserve. You should have a law firm to give you the best chance to get it from them. Our Dana Point truck accident lawyers can do the following for your case:
- Investigate your accident to learn the cause and gather available evidence
- Estimate the value of your damages
- File the claim or lawsuit on your behalf
- Deal with the insurance and trucking companies throughout the legal process
Most importantly, your lawyer will fight for you to get everything that you deserve.
