Why Choose the Truck Accident Attorneys at Setareh Law? 

At Setareh Law, our experienced truck accident attorneys understand the specific challenges involved in these types of cases and will fight to maximize the compensation you deserve. Here’s why our legal team is a top choice for truck accident victims in California:

Extensive Experience with Truck Accident Cases

Truck accident cases are far more challenging than typical car accident cases due to the number of parties involved, federal regulations, and the severity of injuries. We have vast legal experience handling truck accident claims and are well-versed in the specific legal issues they present. 

Thorough Investigation and Evidence Collection

These cases require a meticulous approach to evidence gathering. Our team conducts a comprehensive investigation, securing critical evidence such as black box data, logs, maintenance records, and surveillance footage. We will also consult with accident reconstruction experts and other professionals to fully understand the causes of the collision and hold the responsible parties accountable.

Identifying All Liable Parties

Unlike standard car accidents, truck accidents often involve numerous liable parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, and vehicle manufacturers. Our truck accident attorneys work diligently to identify every party that may be responsible for the accident, ensuring that no potential source of compensation is overlooked.

Knowledge of Federal and State Trucking Regulations

Commercial vehicles must follow the stringent federal and state regulations governing everything from driver hours to vehicle maintenance. Violations of these regulations are often contributing factors to truck accidents. We are well-versed in these laws and know how to uncover regulatory violations that can strengthen your case. By demonstrating that the trucking company or driver failed to follow the law, we can build a powerful argument for your compensation.

Aggressive Negotiation with Insurance Companies

Insurance companies representing trucking firms often have extensive resources and experienced legal teams focused on minimizing payouts. Our San Bernardino truck accident attorneys know the tactics insurers use to undervalue or deny claims, and we’re prepared to push back aggressively. We handle all communication with the insurance entities on your behalf, fighting for a just settlement that reflects the complete extent of your damages and other damages.

Personalized and Compassionate Client Support

We know that the aftermath of a truck accident is an overwhelming time for victims and their families. Our attorneys provide compassionate, personalized support, keeping you informed and involved throughout the process. At Setareh Law, you are more than just a case number – you’re a valued client who deserves respect, empathy, and dedicated attention.

Who May Be Liable in a Truck Accident? 

Determining liability in a truck collision can be a complex task, as they typically involve multiple parties and often require thorough investigation. Here are the most common parties who may be held responsible:

• Truck Driver: Liability may be established if the accident was caused by speeding, driving under the influence, fatigue, or other violations of traffic laws.
• Trucking Company: The trucking company may be liable for the actions of its employees, provided the actions occur within the scope of employment. Moreover, if the company failed to maintain vehicles, pushed drivers to ignore regulations, or did not properly check the driver’s qualifications or history, it could be directly liable.
• Cargo Loaders: Improper loading of the truck’s cargo can lead to accidents by causing the vehicle to be unbalanced or the cargo to shift dangerously. 
• Vehicle or Parts Manufacturers: If a defect in the truck caused the collision, the manufacturer might be liable. This could involve faulty brakes, tires, or other parts that failed and led to the crash.
• Maintenance Providers: If the truck’s maintenance was outsourced to a third party and a lack of proper maintenance can be linked to the cause of the accident, this provider could also be held accountable.
• Other Drivers: Sometimes, other drivers can indirectly cause truck accidents by erratic driving, sudden lane changes, or other negligent acts that force truck drivers to take evasive actions, which could lead to an accident.

We collaborate with accident reconstruction experts to understand precisely what happened and who is at fault. Each case varies significantly depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident.
