Per California statute, the deadline to file a truck crash injury lawsuit is 2 years from the date of the accident under the statute of limitations. There can be exceptions with delays in discovering the full extent of injuries or damages. Meeting with our Sutter County truck accident lawyers soon after a crash helps ensure no legal rights or deadlines are missed.

Absolutely not. The trucking carrier or their insurance adjuster may pressure crash victims to provide a recorded statement recounting what happened. Be aware - they are building potential defenses so you get lowballed on compensation. Politely decline providing any statements until after consulting one of our lawyers.

Our veteran truck crash lawyers use various investigative and legal methods to prove negligence and liability after Sutter County truck wrecks, such as:

• Obtaining and reviewing the truck’s black box data and maintenance records
• Hiring truck safety experts to inspect vehicles for mechanical defects
• Reconstructing how the collision happened using physics and computer models
• Issuing subpoenas to disclose damning evidence the defense may conceal
• Deposing the trucker and truck company managers to expose negligent behaviors and safety violations

Uninsured or hit-and-run truck crashes can be devastating, leaving injury victims without coverage for medical bills, lost income and other expenses. In California, you can file a claim with the CA Automobile Assigned Risk Plan (CAARP) that may provide some compensation, albeit usually insufficient. Our truck accident legal team can help guide victims through the CAARP claims process while pursuing further legal action when viable.

Trucking carriers may claim slick roads, fog or other environmental conditions caused the truck driver to lose control and crash without negligence on their part. However, federal regulations and California state laws require truckers to prepare for and safely operate under all foreseeable conditions. If the trucker or motor carrier failed to take reasonable precautions like slowing down or pulling over in hazardous weather, they can still be held liable for damages. Our veteran truck accident lawyers know how to overcome these defense tactics.
