Protecting Your Rights After a Big-Rig Crash
When a semi hits, everything changes
A fully loaded tractor-trailer can turn an ordinary drive into a life-altering emergency. As your California truck accident lawyer, The Guerrero Firm moves fast to secure critical evidence—driver logs, black-box (EDR) data, dispatch records, and maintenance files—before they disappear. Truck claims aren’t like
car accidents; federal regulations, corporate risk teams, and multiple insurers make these cases more complex, and the stakes are higher for injured families.
The Hidden Obstacles in Truck Claims
Regulations, multiple defendants, and fast-moving insurers
Carriers often deploy investigators within hours. Responsibility can extend beyond the driver to the motor carrier, broker, shipper, trailer owner, maintenance provider, or a parts manufacturer. We analyze Hours-of-Service compliance, load securement, inspection reports, and safety histories to build pressure against every liable party statewide—from agricultural routes to major interstate corridors.
What To Do After a Truck Accident
Five steps that protect your case
Call 911, get medical care, and ensure a police report is made. If it’s safe, photograph scene markings, trailer numbers, and cargo details; gather witness contacts; and avoid recorded statements with any trucking insurer. Contact The Guerrero Firm quickly so we can send preservation letters, request EDR downloads, and coordinate an independent investigation.
How The Guerrero Firm Builds Your Advantage
From reconstruction to violations, we cover it
Our team coordinates accident reconstruction, reviews qualification files, and cross-checks logs against fuel, toll, and GPS records to uncover fatigue or falsification. Tire failures, brake issues, or coupling defects can point to defective products claims alongside negligence. Our trial-ready posture and meticulous preparation push insurers toward full, fair resolutions.
The Compensation You Can Pursue
Today’s bills and tomorrow’s needs
Severe truck wrecks bring hospitalizations, rehab, future surgeries, and time off work. We calculate medical costs, wage loss, diminished earning capacity, and non-economic damages for pain, limitation, and life changes. For families facing a fatal outcome, we guide survivors through
wrongful death claims with clear communication and steady support.
