Trucking Accidents

Commercial trucking companies and their insurers move fast after a crash — often within hours — to protect themselves. Trucking companies are required to carry black-box data, driver logs, and maintenance records that can prove fault, but that evidence can be lost, overwritten, or "routinely destroyed" if you don't act quickly to preserve it.

Because of the sheer size difference between a commercial truck and a passenger vehicle, injuries in these collisions tend to be severe — spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and worse. These cases also often involve multiple liable parties: the driver, the trucking company, a cargo loading company, or even a parts manufacturer.

Katz Law moves just as fast — sending preservation letters, investigating the scene, and identifying every party who may be liable. No fee unless we win. California generally gives you two years to file, but trucking cases are won or lost in the first few weeks.
